Better

 

 

 

I think he's getting better. He slept well last night and took a nap today ::sound of angels singing::! Mike is home and that allowed me to go to the damned doctor for THREE hours so I could take my second glucose test. I doubt that I have gestational diabetes but if your score on the first one is elevated, they make you take the second. They took blood four times in three hours, it's a drag.

Sunday morning, with apple

 

 

He likes to eat apples but he also *really* likes to carry apples around above his head and say "YES!"

Reading at the stairs

 

 

Saturday. He didn't end up going to the party with us, he went to bed early, like 6:40 (!) and we had a babysitter come over. We got home around midnight and went up to check on him shortly after and he was WIDE awake, sitting up in bed and reading a book. He ran into our room and chatted with Mike, briefly, and then I put him back to bed. He has a little cold and has a hard time lying down and breathing well, I think. He blew a complete fit when I left and then was up for a while, I guess. We have to judge by the amount of books that are strewn around the room in the morning, it's a weird system. He's in good spirits today but it's only 10:30.

Saturday Morning

 

 

 

 

With Mike and then one Mike took of Anthony eating a cookie. We are hopefully going to a party at Marita and Ryan's later, and I made like 90 cookies to bring and Anthony stole about five of them this morning. We're off to the store, hopefully to Costco and to get Mike a new phone for his birthday, which was Thursday. Anthony had a good night and slept until 7:20 so we are hopeful it will all go well. But as Parker would say, you never know.

Friday

 

 

 

 

He is definitely getting MORE molars but also? He doesn't look that good. I took him to the doctor last week and he says he's fine but he's a little off or something. He's not napping or sleeping too well either. Just in time for the weekend, boo!

How We Live

This is Anthony, naked on the chair in the kitchen in front of the computer. I don't even know what to say.

He was mad because he couldn't get out into the alley.

On Island

 

 

 

Yesterday. I forget how he climbed up there, I think he pulled a chair over from the table.

Monday, on the counter

 

Look at that face! We have blocked off the corner lazy susan, which is what Anthony usually uses to climb onto the counter. So yesterday I was sitting at the computer, working on the database that I'm doing for my contract job, and he picked up a tin that I am keeping for Christmas Cookies and stepped on it and then into the cabinet off which he broke a door and climbed up there. There are two of Anthony's favorite things in that cabinet behind him - *cookies* and *Tums*. Weirdo.

Today is election day and Mike has been gone since like 4:30 and won't be home until like 8:30. My sister is coming over after work, thank God, it is going to be a long day.

Monday Morning

 

We're having a playgroup this morning, Lord knows how it will go. Cooper was over yesterday and we saw how hard it is for Anthony to share. I mean, not just hard but like impossible. He gets CRAZY mad. I weep for this new baby, I'll tell you.

November 4

 

 

 

 

Running outside on Saturday. He really likes to go outside, no matter what the weather is like or what he's wearing. I hate to get him dressed in shoes and everything the minute we get up but if I don't, he goes outside like this.

We had kind of a rough weekend. Anthony woke up at 4:00 Friday and Saturday morning. We decided that we're just going to close our door and let him stay in there until 7:00 so he leaves us the hell alone until then. It's too crazy otherwise, but since we set the clocks back Saturday night, we busted him out at 6:00 yesterday and 6:30 today. God knows what time he wakes up, I kind of wish I could know but in order to know I have to be awake for it and that's just not working. It's soon enough we'll have to be up every two hours with a baby, he's just going to have to learn to go back to sleep.

Friday

 

 

 

I'm trying to post every day in November, we'll see how it goes!

By the door, last night

 

 

 

Mike and I are two of the pictures, too!
