Monday, Monday…

So not the typical Monday. I suppose. EZ woke up somewhat early this morning to go in to the office. Although it is closed today for President’s Day. But that doesn’t mean much in his line of work anyway. He’s supposed to be coming home a little early today (in other words – a normal time for normal people), so definitely not the typical Monday. In my opinion a great way to start the week. Especially after such a great weekend.

Jack’s little girl friend Jayden turned one on Friday and her birthday party was on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. This was the first of Jack’s friends to have a party, so it sort of set the bar for the rest of us. And thankfully, she didn’t go hog-ass wild with her party planning etc. So that was a bit of a relief. Jack actually showed off his “crawling” skills to the playgroup girls. At the last couple of playgroups and play dates he has been chilling in the sitting position or playing in one spot on the floor. So, everyone has been giving me the, “yeah, right, I bet he crawls” every time I talk to them. So finally he showed off his super-speed-of-light army crawling abilities.

Sunday we went over to Kristin and John’s to watch a Wolfpack basketball game… which I don’t think I saw one second of. Which, surprisingly enough, is quite alright by me! Our friend’s Kurt and Christy were also there, with their three month old Maddie. Jack was in total awe of her. It was pretty darn cute. Unfortunately I didn’t remember the camera… so no cute google-eye shots of the two of them.

Not much going on here really. We’re finally feeling better around here… although Jack is teething… AGAIN!! Another top tooth. So there’s plenty of drool going around. And he has had this sort of congestion thing going on. But he doesn’t seem all that bothered by it. But his gums are definitely giving him trouble. He gets in these moods in the afternoon where he is so incredibly cranky and uncomfortable. He will lash out and frantically try to bite/maul whatever is near him. So if your fingers/nose/chin/whatever are nearby… WATCH OUT! I noticed that he was eating his favorite peek-a-boo book the other day (not something he used to do) and so I took it away and started to fish out all of the book chunks from his mouth and the little turkey bit me so hard that I yelled out in pain. Of course scared the crap out of the poor kid. Geez!

Let’s see, besides the teething, nothing else new going on here. Planning a trip to NYC for my 30th… Woo Hoo! Finishing up the V-day chocolates… mmm Yummy. And looking forward to a beautiful spring-ish week, with highs in the 60’s. Living in the south does have it’s perks.
