hmmm so it's been awhile, huh?

Ok, I really thought I'd be better at blogging as a Mommy b/c I'd have stuff to write about, than I was before... but as you all can tell, I'm so not! And really, it's not b/c the girl demands so much of my time, she is totally not a morning person and sleeps in, she doesn't need me to hold her constantly and we have a TON of toy/things to keep her attention. I should run downstairs and take a picture of our family room and the baby stuff that has overtaken it, but I'm too lazy. I'm sure I'll get around to it, but really, don't hold your breath!

Christmas was very uneventful at our house. C had to pay for a speeding ticket that he got so that was pretty much his present. I did manage to score him a new game, a dvd, and one of his favorite snacks for his stocking, but that's all I did. I was too mad about the speeding ticket to reward that behavior w/ presents! C gave me a new robe (yay! right Shell?) my other robe was 14 YEARS old!!! I got it from my college roommate, freshman year, Christmas 1993. I was still wearing it, until our recent trip to NY when it received some more damage and unfortunatly we made the decision not to bring it home w/ us, so we buried it in NY, in its original hometown! :D He also gave me this awesome coffee table book, called The Art of the Snowflake. It's actual photographs of snowflakes. Way cool! C did really good on my stocking stuffer items too, which I know is hard for him since he didn't get a stocking when he was a kid and the stocking is totally my favorite part of the presents. We did not go all out for the girl, she's 4 months old for crying out loud! I got her some teething toy things for her stocking. And took pics of her on the couch with her stocking and our gifts to make it look like she got stuff, so when she's older she can't say we didn't spoil her! :D





We currently have an unwanted tenant in our attic... I think its a squirrel. I can hear it when it comes in at night and when it wakes up and leaves in the morning. It crawls around in the ceiling over our bed. It is totally getting evicted this weekend! C is going to see about finding out how he/she is getting in, then set a trap for it, get it out of our house and revoking its key (sealing off its entrance)!

The girl is totally laughing now. She even has tickle spots. Its so much fun to make her laugh. C is really good at it, and I've been trying to catch it on video, I think I've gotten some. She's also spent some time on her belly, she doesn't push up on her arms yet or roll over, but she does bring her knees up under her... so we'll see where she goes from there. She's also eating like a pig!!! She's up to 6oz a pop now! Oh and for about a month now, she's been sleeping through the night, a good 8-10 hours in a row. YAY!!! And for those that knew, saw, or remembered... her clogged tear duct is all cleared up. No more goop coming out at all. WHOOO HOOO!
Today is the girls 4 mo check up, so next time I blog I'll have stats for you. Not much else happening here. Just chilling out. Have a wonderful day!

~Til next time!
