the one where she stayed up too late

"Cuz they say two thousand zero six party over,
oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999"


last night. At least EP can sleep through anything...
he lost all 500 pennies. so sad.This morning:
my new Bible study book for the next 18 weeks or so. The chapel is doing this for adult sunday school, but since I teach the little people during that time, I just grabbed the book to work through on my own. Really trying to do more than the typical 5-10 minutes a day with my One Year Bible and Our Daily Bread I discovered a new workout routine. Put the baby in the high chair (that needs to be refinished in a bad way. the tray also needs to be sanded and resilvered in a bad way. apparently years of storage in the attic is no good. Granny, where are you?!), fill his tray with toys, and go get your sneakers on.
Every time he throws a toy down (accidentally, though it won't be long until it's purposeful), do a lunge or squat to pick it up, and do a few punches and silly faces while you're down. Stand back up and do jumping jacks while you wait for the next toy to fall. Repeat. Talk about upping the heart rate in a speedy fashion!
Then, later, take a walk, either with the boy on your back so you can walk the dog, or in the stroller if waaz is coming with you:Oh, and I noted last week in the baby calendar that I actually had to get out a bib to catch all the drool that has started cascading out of the corners of EP's mouth. At the dr.'s appt. we had last week, we confirmed that EP is 18.5 ell-bee's*, 28 inches long, and most definitely working on a few teeth, particularly on his bottom left jaw. Bring on the refrigerated plastic and wooden spoons.

*for comparison's sake, the baby across the street is 10 months and 19#.

I have to confess that this has to be the cutest child ever. Sorry to the other contenders, but there it is. Especially as dressed in "my" clothes. Yummy baby.
Dan, still trying for a comment that contains yet adequately expresses my excitement about your Christmas gifts (shiny, shiny, and hairy). I will register my continued vote for floppy ears. Get a German Shepherd if you want sticky uppy ears. Just my unsolicited opinion of the hour. heh.

I love that hat and mittens(last pic, mittens not shown), but it's kind of hard to find clothes in his cupboard that match. Apparently those are not the colors that I readily turn to in the store.

working on a productive constitutional part due, and also a "quilt called pathetic" synopsis. great stuff, trust me.
