Around Here
Around here Emily has been a couch potato. She lays on the couch and watches movie after movie. Today she is watching Scooby Doo and the Mummy. I think I have pushed play 4 times today. She just hollars 'Ma-mop or Da-doo" when she wants some food or milk. Her phrase today is "That's not a monster, its a hawk."
Around here Mia turned a month old yesterday. She weighs around 10 lbs and is growing like a week. She eats all day and all night. I cut back her formula to 4 oz every 3 hours, because she spits up so much. Babycenter.com said that alot of the spitup could be overflow. So Mia now uses her pacifer alot more now. Last night was a bad night, in which she was up and fussy with a stomach ache and gas until 5:30 am.

Around here Mia graduated from newborn diapers to level 1 diapers.
Around here Mia likes to be held all the time. Emily tells me to put her right here or to put her back in her bed. Mia's crying doesn't phase Emily at all.
Around here Rich has been making battery packs to sell the PI's. He delivered them today. He is wanting to put some on ebay. Work has been really slow, the phone has just stopped ringing. Today he is working in the office.
Around here we might be selling the brass out of the piano to pay bills.
Around here I been trying to process pictures to put in Mia's baby book. I've been going through magazine layouts and decided which layouts to scraplift and what photos to use on what layouts. Then I have to send the photos off to be developed.
Around here the house is a sort of mess. I conquered the kitchen today. There was 3 days worth of mess. Both sinks full of dishes, the counters covered, old food, empty cans, dirty bottle liners littered the counters. I put Mia in her bouncy, pulled the trash can over to the sick and just started cleaning. It took almost 2 hours to wash and then stop and dry to make room for more dishes. After the dishes were all clean, put away and the counters bleached, the trash went out in the kitchen, bathroom and dining room. Pheww. The house is feeling better already. I started the wash and need to fold one load of clothes. Now to the living room. Hmm. That will have to wait. I think I'm going to need another nap to make up for only 5 hours of sleep.
Around here I really need a sling to carry Mia in. Erica has a sling that she is going to mail me, except she decided instead of mailing it she would give it Bigdaddy to bring here. Well that didn't work out. So now the sling is sitting at my mom's house. So said sling went from Point A (Erica to Bigdaddy) Point B (Bigdaddy to Mama) Point C (Mama to Erica) Point D (Erica to post office) Point E (Postoffice to me). But apparently Erica hasn't seen Mama so it sits at Point B. I really could use it so I suggested to Erica today that maybe Seth could bring it. So that adds another point. Point C (Mama to Seth) Point D (Seth to Erica) Point E (Erica to POffice) Point F (POffice to Me). For real. You know she should have just mailed it when she told she had one she didn't need anymore. Then all points would have been avoided and I could be enjoying the sling. Oh well.
Around here I'm ready for a nice rainy day. Its been in the forcast for drinching rain. Except I think it passed us. I love a nice rainy day. I could really live in Seattle. I wouldn't mind if it rained everyday. I only need one nice pretty day with some wind every now and then.
