Where does the time go?

Every time I go to change Teddy's diaper it seems like he's gotten older and longer.  He loves to sit and stand and talk.  He still loves looking at light and shadows still.  Napping is still getting a little easier.  The other day I got him to nap, though for a shorter period of time, in the swing all day.  The next day we were running errands and he fell asleep with the light on and everything, though it helped that he was in the moby and I was moving around.  He's still pretty clingy for me but if you get him just after he's been fed he's usually pretty good. 

He is almost to the point of rolling over on his back.  He will twist himself and can turn to be almost on his side.  No rolling from the tummy, since he still hates tummy time.  He still needs to be swaddled at night and he looks like a giant armless baby.  Last night I tried leaving one arm out and it did not work.  He kept knocking his pacifier out of his mouth, scratching himself, flailing etc.  He kept looking at me like he was all confused as to why on earth his arm was out if it was time for bed.  He's pretty advanced in some ways but not so much in others.  Which I'm fine with.  But I've got goals to work on:  napping independently, sleeping in crib, no swaddling.  Not really sure for the timeline I have on these things though.

We're moving!  Our friends are moving out of the condo we bought as they're buying a townhouse.  We're happy for them!  We had another set of friends who were going to move in but now they've got another opportunity in Northern Virginia so they can't move in.  We don't want it to go to strangers and I'm more than ready to have my own place again.  I haven't had a real kitchen in 15 months!  It will be nice to have more space for all of us too.  And privacy.  Our situation in Alaska felt like a room mate situation (not having our own shower, for example) and obviously the same thing here.  I'm pretty over it.  I'm a 25 year old woman who has been married for 6 years, has a baby, a college degree and a mortgage.  I think I'm past the roomate era.  Hopefully I can still remain at home and hurry up and finish my MA and then I'll teach online from home.  Then the plan is to sell the condo next year and buy some land and build a house.  Hopefully the market will improve enough for that to happen next year.

Gosh, next year!  Teddy will be over a year old.  I just can't believe it.  On thebump.com some of the girls on my birth month board are starting their babies on solids and sippy cups already.  Gah!  No!!  Make him stay a little baby forever.  Though, if I can't keep him as a little baby, I have to say I'm so in love in his little personality.  He is amazing!
