Get back here!

So last weekend j figured out how to go forward (around 3:30 PM on the 11th. Give or take 10 minutes). By now- yeah, he's pretty well mastered that. He is everywhere in a matter of moments. Dear God, save us. I want my rolling baby back- he was much easier to contain.

J and I had a good night Friday. We originally had tickets to a concert, but it was cancelled a couple days in advance. Since we had a room and a babysitter lined up, we said screw it, we're going out anyway. We went to the casino for a bit. Dumped a little money into the penny slot machines. I had about $10 and was just going to kill it so we could go eat and head back to the room to relax. But it kept giving me $.50-$1.50 wins. Just enough to keep me playing. Then the damn machine just starting making a bunch of noise. WTF? J- "What did you win?" k- "I don't know, but it won't stop!". It was like $40. Nothing huge, but enough for me to cash out and get us supper. Sweet. To add to that we had a jacuzzi room, but she gave it to us for the standard government rate (which is like half price for that room), so yeah. Good weekend. j had a blast with my sister and BIL and actually slept for them, so all around good weekend.

Today is catch up on laundry and all other cleaning fun day. Oh joy.

Oh, and j 7 months old. He was 19.6 lbs Friday. I need to get some new pics- it's a little harder to get them now!

Milestones!

So we have reached a couple milestones in the last week. j has learned how to go from hands and knees to sitting. I don't recall there being a whole lot of progress to this, he just started doing it. So now he is really all over the place. He has kind of figured out how to turn himself to get where he's going with rolling and...

backward scooting. He has gotten really good at this. He'll start air humping (or rocking as some less perverse people may choose to call it) and he's actually pushed himself forward a couple times. And then proceeds to get pissed because he doesn't know how he did it.

He has also moved back his bedtime by a couple hours. He seems to be doing better with this, so here's to hoping it lasts. He has been a bit of a bear at nap time, but that's day care's problem a lot of the day.
