some random musings

i have my blue nose sucky things labeled with an 'L' and an 'M' respectfully. I was told by sharing these things you could spread infection. apparently i don't care much because i grab whichever one i can find at the moment.

i went running yesterday, no stroller. it was a good thing too because i am sure i looked like a pathetic wannabe runner. pushing 60 pounds wouldn't have been good. all in good time tell myself.

sometimes lacey won't eat anything except for 'beans.' which are really jelly beans, but have come to be anything that is sweet and sugary. usually fruit snacks. sometimes i let her get away with only eating these at a meal, because i am too busy/laxy/preoccupied to find anything else that she will actually eat. today i called peas 'beans.' it worked.

it took me 2 hours to put miles to bed last night. i was having a grouchy mom moment. doesn't he know that I have homework to get done and rocking, walking, and hushing him for 2 HOURS doesn't help me finish it.

we put in an offer on a house in s. minneapolis. i love the house but doubt we'll get it. we low balled them (the bank). not sure when we find out, but the offer was 120K less than what the house was last purchased for. that would be nice. the house has no a/c because its old so i might be complaining all summer long.

Growing and Growing

Miles had his 2 month appointment last monday and Lacey had her 18 month appointment as well. I was pretty impressed with myself that I planned it out to happen that way ; )

1) Miles

He weighed 11 pounds 3 oz and was a whopping 24 inches long. I think his weight to length ratio was somewhere around the 3rd percentile. Poor kid, long and skinny!

He is sleeping 6-8 hours at night. Usually more around the 6 hour mark, but we occasionally get an 8 hour stretch in there.

He is a tummy sleeper, like I previously mentioned, and I surprisingly didn't get much grief about this from the doctor.

He got his DTaP and Rotavirus shots. We'll go back next month for a shot only visit where he will get the other 2.

He is pretty much in all 3-6 months clothes, thanks to his length.

Miles is a GROUCH when he wakes up in the morning (or from anything). He won't open his eyes and just screams. I am already looking forward to getting him up and ready for school.

He is finally starting to be more content for longer than 3 minutes at a time and wow are my arms happy! I am truly amazed of everything you can do one-handed.

2) Lacey

Lacy weighed in at just over 23 pounds and was 32 inches tall. Pretty much right smack in the middle of the charts of everything.

We read a lot of books, her favorites are rhyming books or picture books. She is starting to put 2-3 words together and repeat things we say, which is adorable, but a little scary.

We get to experience temper tantrums now. Usually when we are coming in from outside, going in the stroller when she wants to walk, or going down for a nap. Thankfully they usually don't last long.

She has a cold right now and is teething so she has been a handful last week.

She loves fruit and veggies and hates meat. Same as its always been, even when I was pregnant.

3) Me

I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight and in all my old clothes : )

I'm ready to start running again. Do you know how much work it is pushing an 18month old and a 2 month old while walking? Running should be interesting and I will let you know how it goes!
