this and that

my sore throat has been lingering for more than a week, and i'm getting so tired of it. today my voice sounded really raspy. i'm like either become a full fledged head cold, or go away. know what i mean? its frustrating. but good news, life has returned to normalicy. schedule and order prevail. tonight i wrapped christmas gifts which i love to do. caitlin was getting fussy, so i sat her in her chair and gave her a bottle, and i went back to wrapping. i'm soo glad that she is able to hold her own bottle now!!! she is also getting soo very curious about everything, and tonight i discovered she loves to be picked up and bounced on her feet. gosh, her giggle just melts my heart.
