  • My positive:  I got out for some "me" time for the first time in forever.  I had a massage and then went to lunch with my sister and stuffed my face.

    B said "dirt." We can add that to her list of really useful words that help me understand what it is she needs/wants when she is whining at me. sarcasm font

    Seriously though, she can't learn "food" or "snack" or "milk." We get duck, mama, dada, bye, hi, dirt, and doggy.

    Vicky, that's fantastic!

    Grayden turned three months this weekend!. And on Sunday, when we gave up on the crib, he slept for three hours in the swing. So that's a positive and a negative, I guess. Oh, and I fit into some clothes that I wore before our first angel baby pregnancy. THAT is good news to me!

    My positive is that DD slept from 11 PM to 6:30 AM last night.  Its amazing how seven hours of sleep can change your outlook on life.

  • I am here!!! Gabriel spent the entire night Saturday and Sunday in his crib with only waking up one time around 4:00ish to feed.  I think he sleeps better in there because daddy isn't screaming at the TV for "killing him" in the dang game.  Although he will only sleep in there swaddled...

  • We have not been anywhere in public with DD as a family until last weekend. We took her to the mall for lunch and then the Target in the mall. She did a great job! We did it again this weekend and she was amazing. No fussing at all.

    Looks like we might actually start going out more and maybe even tackle a restaurant! Of course, it'll have to be right after a long nap and a full tummy.

  • Better late than never right?  My positive was a fun play date on Sat.  It's so much fun to see DS interact with other kids.  He loved playing with somebody else's toys, dancing and climbing with his older girlfriend, and eating three (3) bins of berries his playmate's parents had gotten at a farmer's market.  He also thought it was hysterical to feed me berries as fast as he could. If only there was a negative roll call I could tell you about the epic berry poop the next morning.
