If you're happy and you know it

Clap your hands!! I didn't realize that this was actually a milestone or I would have made a bigger deal out of it a couple of days ago. As is, it's going to be completely eclipsed by the news that Eliza is crawling!! Yes, it is time to start baby-proofing. She still falls over a fair amount and pauses to flail her arms or legs about in various directions, but no matter how you slice it, she's a girl on the move (can't quite say the same for her digestive track, unfortunately). I think she's going to be hard to keep up with. It's very exciting. It doesn't appear that blogger allows video or else I'd put up something of her moving about.

She actually crawled yesterday, April 30, but I was not able to get online until today. We are having our porch rebuilt and the cable got knocked out during the demolition, taking away our TV, Internet, and phone. After 90 minutes on hold last night, at which point I hung up in frustration, I called Comcast again this morning. Can someone please explain why they offer a bundled service like this and then make you speak to a different person for each service when all the technicians are trained to deal with whatever? All I needed was a technician at the house. Not complicated, but it took the baby crying in the background and me screaming at rep #3 (but only at service #2 as the first person transferred me right away) to make this happen. Lovely.

BTW, I spell-checked this post and the suggestion for Comcast was "compost." Hee.

Anyway, here is our house now:What's weird (and slightly disturbing) is that the guys did all this yesterday and have not returned today. Is it one crew for demolition and one for construction? Maybe our house is going to look like this forever. At least it's a lot brighter in our bedroom now (we're the middle unit for those who haven't been here).

But this blog is supposed to be about Eliza, so here she is in all her pea-eating glory:
