As it turns out, working 7-4 makes it rather difficult to add to my blog. I'm busy at work and when I'm at home, I'm busy with Amy. The only time I've turned on the computer at home recently was to do this year's Camp Keepsake brochure for the Cancer Hope Foundation, which is still in progress. But the hours have worked out really well. It's very nice driving without traffic (at least on the way in), and I get a lot of stuff done in the morning before anyone can bother me, and I'm out the door while the sun's still up.

Amy walks about 90% of the time now. It's pretty funny when she gets near her destination and she doesn't slow down, but instead just runs into the wall/furniture/me to stop. At the last pediatrician's visit, we've discovered she gained over a pound and is now 17 lbs 9 oz, which is still below the third percentile for her age. Fifteen-and-a-half months and she's still wearing her size 6-9 month clothes.

She has become rather good at non-verbal communication (still hasn't said her first word yet) and she understands a lot of what we say to her, showing a remarkable capacity for learning new words. She recognizes some of the cats by name and even knows a few colors. It seems her brain development just grows by leaps and bounds every week.

Work-wise, we recently launched my GM Local Marketing Group (LMG) project. This is a set of almost 30 web sites for GM's dealer groups (e.g., Southern California Cadillac). The sites themselves are not particularly impressive (there's only 5-6 pages to each one) but there's a big administrative site (inaccessible to the public) that controls all the different LMG sites.

Right now, I'm in the middle of a big thing for Microsoft that we inherited from ZP-Minneapolis that's extremely complex and has a short delivery schedule, so we have almost the entire tech team on it plus a guy from Mpls. here in our office helping out. More news on this after we launch...
