There's not much new going on at the moment. We're finalizing mortgage things for the new house and setting up the utilities. I can not wait to move into our new home. Two weeks from Monday is the closing day! I think I'm going to go to the house this weekend to take window measurements. I'd like to order blinds early next week so we don't have to do the sheet thing too long.

Sunday, Annika turns 11 months old. 11 months! My baby is going to be 11 months! I have been asked more than once in the last week when the next one was coming. A co-worker even asked yesterday in a very direct and straightforward way. I told her and now I'm telling you, that we don't plan on trying until at least summer 2006 (after my 30th birthday) and then we'll see. Don't you think that's an awfully personal question to ask of a co-worker though? And it's not like this co-worker and I are friends outside of work, we just work on the same project here.

We found a new favorite food of Annika's: cheese filled pasta (tortellini or ravioli). She had some earlier this week in a Lil' Toddlers package and loved them. At the grocery store on Wednesday we bought a couple packages of the refrigerated DiGiorno pasta's and she gobbled up the spinach and cheese tortellini's as if they were the best thing she's ever eaten. We also bought a container of blueberries and she's munched a whole bunch of those already too. Annika also loves her green vegetables (peas, green beans, lima beans, etc.). And last week, while stopped for lunch on the way home from vacation, Annika ate a whole bunch of cottage cheese. I hope this trend of healthy food loving continues! She also likes spicy foods and they don't seem to bother her tummy (think raw onions or spicy stir-fry). Basically, we feed Annika anything that Kris and I eat (with the exception of the not-before-1-year-of-age foods). The nice thing is this forces us to eat healthier too because we don't want to feed our baby girl crap! :)
