Oh my goodness it is COLD outside. Currently 32 degrees… which would not have been considered all that cold in my former frozen tundra life, but now that I’ve been in the south for far too long, it is what I would consider very cold. Because I’ve recently become addicted to bulleted and/or numbered lists, I’m going to start yet another.

Happy 9 Months JZ!! Woo Hoo! I can hardly believe he is already 9 months old. Isn’t it crazy how fast the time goes. EZ forwarded me an email this morning that I had sent to him in late March of last year. Here it is:
I had a dream about Bob last night. I dreamt that he was crying and I went into his room and picked him up and held him up to my face and was talking to him (consoling him) and he looked at me and once he focused in on my face and recognized my voice he laughed and laughed. It was the best dream ever. I could cry just thinking about it. He was so cute.
Totally weird. He does that all of the time. Such a turkey. Oh, in case you are wondering… we called him Bob before he was born. And I have no idea why.

Jack is still not crawling. Although, he is showing signs of skipping it altogether. He is wiggling and rolling to a destination (for instance the jumparoo) and grabbing on to the legs of it and trying to climb it. Interesting. And quite entertaining, as well. He still does the whole getting up on all fours and rocking thing too… so it’s hard to say what he’s going to do.
-
On Monday, after Jack woke up from his nap, I heard him talking (as usual) in his crib so I went in to get him. When he saw me peek my head in the door he looked at me out of the corner of his eye. When I reached his crib he yelled out, “HI!” Then he paused and said, “Mmm mm mm mama.” I kid you not!!!!! I just about crapped my pants.

I’ve been attempting to come up with a list of good songs for a new workout playlist… and I need a little help. I’ve run out of ideas and have been resorting to Britney Spears. So please, please… give me some good ideas!!

So the playgroup is headed to the pool again… oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you too, I didn’t go to the last one. Jack was still sort of getting over his cold and I wasn’t feeling too hot. And quite frankly, I didn’t want to go to the pool. But it looks like I am in this one for sure. I haven’t been to the last two playgroups, so I definitely have to go to this one. Ug. Still not fired up about squeezing my pasty white, glow-in-the dark, transparent skinned body into a bathing suit. And crocodile wrestling JZ into and out of a swimmer diaper and baby bathing suit. I can only imagine all of the sweat that will be followed by frozen temperatures getting out to the car. Ugg. Ok, enough of my grouching. New suit is in the mail… wish me luck.

So who’s dress did you love at the Golden Globes? I personally thought my girl, Reese Witherspoon was looking fantastic… although very skinny. And Ellen Pompeo… loved the white dress. Definitely did not like Beyonce’s dress or all of that glitter spray or whatever it was all over her chest. And wasn’t a fan of Cameron Diaz’s dress either.

Ok, so I’m totally disappointed with the de-lurking!! I appreciate all of the comments from my regulars, but the rest of you… and I know who you are because I have psychic abilities (hahahaha)!! Kidding. I hardly ever comment on people’s blogs. There are only a few (2 or 3) that I leave regular comments on… the rest of them I’m just a lurker.
Ok, so I know, this is an incredibly boring post. Nothing exciting going on here. Just looking forward to the possibility of some snow later this week and 30 Rock on Thursday (I know, pathetic… but Alec Baldwin, he is hilarious!). Hope you’re all having a good week!
Happy nine months JZ!! I can’t wait to see how much you have grown.
AZ-At least you have people who leave messages on your blog. My family and most of my friends never leave messages. I like to think it is because they are not experianced in mouse clicking and can’t figure out how to leave a comment. I know this is true with my mom. They all tell me that they read it but they probably don’t. I think it is great that you have regular loyal blogging buddies. Ok no more feeling sorry for my sad blog.
Did you see McDreamy on the Golden Globes? His nose looked a bit different to me. Maybe I am just seeing things.
Happy 9 month to adorable JZ :) I share your sentiments in how fast it goes by. My daughter turned one 2 weeks ago and I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out where the time went!! As for the crawling: my child seemed to NEVER crawl. She’d do the rocking thing and she’d scoot around on her butt to get where she wanted to be. Then, it just happened. She crawled. And hasn’t stopped yet. Only now, she “cruises” holding on to whatever she can…couch, dogs, humans.
Have no fear on the pool. I am sure you’re not the only one freaked out about it. I don’t envy you and it’s easy for me to say it ’cause I’m not getting my pasty white body into a suit :)
Not boring…hearing the little things about being a Mom are interesting to those of us that read your blog. Keep it up :)
**BOB?? SO funny…not sure why, but it’s making me giggle!!**
ha ha…Tommy was a “Leroy” so I can relate to the funny pre-birth names. Yeah for Jack and 9 months old! Oh you just wait..he’ll be flailing around your house in no time. That “hi!” sotry made me laugh out loud. So cute. Swimming/pool play group ??!! Dude…waaayyy too high maintenace for me. I am sweating when I just have to bake cookies and run the vacuum for mine! Where did you get your suit, just curious? I am on the market…Hmm..playlist songs…my sister has all these great technotronic versions of Madonna songs on her exercise playlist. Maybe her Immaculate Collection CD. Like a Prayer is a good one and Express Yourself.

So…I have to admit. I am a lurker. I even take it one step further…I am a copier. I have stolen your “100 things about me” list for my myspace page.
I love reading about your adventures with Jack. It’s like a sneak peak into what the future holds for Avs and I.
By the way, she is a rolling maching. BUT, only from her back to stomach. It’s like she totally forgot how to roll from her stomach to her back.
We’re going through some crazy health stuff with her right now. She’s always been anemic, but now they can’t figure out why. We have to take her in for weekly blood work (which sends me into a bawling frenzy). They are throwing around scary words like leukemia and transfusion, but then they say “maybe she’ll just grow out of it.” There are a lot of questions out there…and no answers yet.
Sorry about the downer information. I just thought that you should know that I am a loyal lurker. I even get worried if you haven’t posted anything in awhile. Keep up the fun posts. Even if they seem boring to you, they are entertaining to me!

OHMYGOODNESS!!
Michele, I totally tried to email you yesterday and it got sent back… do you have a new email?? Please get in touch with me… I want to know more about what’s going on with Avery. And HELLO! Need to know about the myspace page!
Andrea, Virtual Insanity on my current playlist… isn’t that funny! Oh, and Back in Black made me laugh soooo hard… definitely bring the ipod!
Sarah,great idea… old school Madonna! Bathing suit – Jcrew… got it today and the top is too big!! AAAGGHHH!
I just had to add this. . . can you tell I am bored? Ok Gavin’s name for when he was a bun in the oven was, Yosaki Hemosheba Wasabi Kikoman. Do you remember me telling you that? My sister still calls him that. But you reminded me of that today!!!
Hey there! We took Avery back to the Dr. yesterday for more lab work and should hear something today. They didn’t call us at home last night…so that usually means good news.
I finally changed my e-mail address from dickmic to bookiem@gvsu.edu I’d love to hear from you.

“Technotronic Madonna songs” – I sound creepy!
Happy .75st birthday J!
We can’t beat mr.toots, but before Charlie was born we had my family convinced that he was going to be named Zeus. This stemmed from my cousin, who seriously considered naming her son Thor. Kind of strange, although I suppose you wouldn’t worry about your son, Thor being picked on at the playground.
As for workout music; the only workout I get these days is bouncing Charlie to sleep on the exercise ball. So a playlist would consist of:
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
The ABCs (the remixed version)
Hush Little Baby (I don’t know all the words, so I just hum the verses)
The Wheels on the Bus
& You Are My Sunshine
…all on shuffle mode.
