this, that and the other...


jen and constance

my sweet friend jen was in town this past weekend and we hung together. she wanted to eat constance but i told her she was not allowed. she likes new jersey and i think we may visit her when we goto visit my aunt this summer in philly.

i will...

  • get outside daily w/ constance. running errands doesn't count. driving to the park to walk does. weather it's in the yard or for a walk- i WILL get out.
  • figure out how to get more than one thing done (as in completed) around the house.
  • paint the three season room.
  • make a plan for the garden and figure out the reasonable cost effective steps to implement it in stages.
i won't...
  • watch the view anymore. i feel too lame doing it.
  • compulsively check blogs throughout the day. i will try to keep blogsurfing confined to one time daily. i forgot how addictive this can be.
things ebele is doing lately:
  • smile and smirk a ton. she does it in a discerning way though...
  • kicking and i think getting momentum to rollover sometime- or do the reverse worm move from break dancing. one of the two- i'm not sure which.
  • passing enormous amounts of gas.
  • clutching fabric.
  • squirming her way out of swaddle and hitting self in face then screaming.
  • converse and babble as if what she is saying makes complete sense.
  • communicate that her pacifier is 'so 90's' by saying it, then spitting it angrily across the room.

she continues to:
+ slobber a lot
+ look insanely cute all the time.
+ rings hands while nursing

girl, I have to limit my computer time, too. and Gabe used to mess with my hands constantly while nursing. it drove me crazy. it still does. babies should just nurse peacefully and quietly. no fidgeting or fiddling. i mean, do they know how good they have it? we could cut them off at any time. but do we? no. we just let them drive us bazonkers. what a life. doesn't jen have brown eyes?

Oh, my goodness, Constance is beautiful. I've only seen her a couple of times. I look forward to seeing her grow up.

You're a good one Maureen. I'm trying to garden and walk, too. "Baby steps."
