Ridley has become quite the performer in recent months. She memorizes songs from the radio or that she sees in shows and then surprises us by belting out whole refrains from them. It seems she is partial to Country music, or maybe it's just that is what Bill and I listen to most. Recently I rented an Elmo DVD from the library that consisted of Elmo singing country songs (yes, it wastorture to listen to) and Ridley loved it! She got this song from there. Notice the yellow crayon is her guitar or "bitar" as she calls it. Maybe we need to spring for a play guitar??? No matter how hard I tried I could not get the video to flip so you'll have to watch it sideways, but you get the idea!
In other news I'm now 37 weeks along. I really feel like this baby is going to hold out to the bitter end! That is actually fine with me since Bill has decided that now is a good time to start traveling for work! He's been in St. Louis and Columbia, SC in the past 3 days and is headed to Atlanta next week for 2 nights. Pray nothing happens while he's gone! I'm feeling pretty good though. My feet and ankles have decided that they are pregnant too so that is a little uncomfortable. The only thing I can wear semi-comfortably on my feet is flip-flops. My toes look and feel like little sausages! Here is a picture to show you just how lovely they look! My old ankles were nothing spectacular but I'd take them back in a heartbeat! Ridley and I have been spending lots of time at the pool so I just try to sit in the water with my feet up but I end up chasing her around the pool most of the day. Oh well, the water feels good anyway! That's all for now, hope y'all are doing well.
