yo, paparrazzi, back off! (notice the mommy rocks shirt!)
**bugaroo is encased in the peanut shell sitting supported within the boppy... about 3min after i put him down about 5 min after he fell asleep in the nutshell ON me... sigh. **
We're on our 2nd week of SUN SUN SUN and oh my what it does for my mood and EVERY THING! the peanut is growing and lengthening... his awake to need-to-feed time is approximately 1/3 of a second--so much for what the books say to "try to feed your baby when you see the early signs of hunger instead of waiting until they're crying"... yeah, right... i think he inherited my need for frequent feeds throughout the day. the BOB is getting well used... we're discovering neighborhoods that i had no idea existed in our burb... MY OH MY is there some money here... and not in our condo complex either! geesh! i checked out a little enclave that looks like it belongs on malibu or france... the entrance is 2 huge stallions fighting it out (sculpture) with a fountain... let me tell ya... they don't post the "price" on those for sale signs... and no cute fliers either... guess if you have to ask, you don't belong there. :) i definitely didn't belong. but sure is fun walking through.
and i'm starting to employ a modifed version of the jeff galloway walk/run program (i only know his premise, not the specifics)... on the uphills and some flats... while pushing a 40+pound bob jogger... which means that hbpuppers really doesn't have to adjust her pace between my walk and run phases... but i feel good. :) and hb is loving all the outings!
gpa/gmaz were down for the weekend getting as much hands on time with babyj as possible... was beautiful all weekend which gave them relief from some strange foggyfog they've been encased on recently.
grandmama and grandpapaj are having major withdrawls and counting days until they can take another trip out... or we jet back there... hence all the photos... :)
**daddy reading about maddy moose--prepping him for ak adventures to come!**
sleeping hasn't been going as well as it was... bummer for me... seems that gas rises up within the little bug causing much grunting and fitful zz's... sigh... every book i've ever read = "this too shall pass"... so i guess that will be our mantra... that and some food trials for my diet... i suppose...
sometimes the biggest question i have is... uhh... what do we do now? i'm running out of play and interaction ideas... and and and... it's not naptime yet! eek! he does like laying on his back kickin' his little legs and waiving his arms in the aayyehr... but a little man can only do that for so long before boredom sets in.
**i'd take ideas and suggestions from anyone, but please email me... i'm not a facebooker... and i don't like that i can't reply to you if you write on my wall and i get the email notification... without replying to YOUR wall... for everyone to see... i dunno... old fashioned and all i guess... just email me. :) or call. text. or write a letter. stop by... :) hee hee! i know i know... you can all make fun of me if i ever cross over... but... for now... **
auntieree will be out for the next few days meeting the bean for the very first time... YAY!!!! can't wait! and hopefully in the next few months he'll be able to meet his other aunts/uncles/cousins as well... don't know that we'll get to rondy with the elvis country zrelatives during that time, but sure are hoping sooner rather than later!
nothing exciting to report except i think i may have gotten my first 2 real smiles that weren't just random and gas related... but who knows... i couldn't reproduce them multiple times, so...??
cheerio for now and getcher vitamin D! as for me... dreaming of long runs and long sleeps!
