Well, Happy St. Patrick's Day to all my fellow Irish friends and family (and to those who are for just today...) I am looking forward to drinking a green beer with my dinner =D Haven't decided what that will be yet. We've been eating out so much lately... But, I really would LOVE to have some corned beef!!!!!! We'll see..
The weather is getting nicer, so my mood is too. I am sooooooo not a winter person. I need to get one of those lamps or tan every once in awhile to get my vitamin D ;) Anyway, was able to go out for a brief stroll with JT yesterday and try out his new stroller. It was sooo nice outside. Jake and I enjoyed the fresh air and his new comfy, all-terrain vehicle. Can't wait to get on the trails. Still too muddy right now, but will be perfect soon.
Jake continues to get faster at crawling. He's everywhere now. We had to start closing doors. One minute he's at your feet, the next, he's missing.... in a bedroom or kitchen. He continues to try and pull himself up constantly. He loves climbing over me while playing. He tries to say words, i.e. kitty. He gets excited when he sees the cats and says, "kiiii". Apparently, he enjoys eating paper too.. (he just took a corner out of my mail sitting here which needs to be shredded.... uuugh) He also likes to throw his ball and chase it. Funny to watch him get so excited.
Marlie continues to do well in school and other extra-curricular activities. However, she is still playing the "I feel sick" game. I think she is really missing being the only one that got attention. We try and do special things with just her, but unfortunately she still doesn't understand how much attention goes to a baby.
Anyway... went to the dr. the other day and realized my scale is off by 2-3 lbs. so, that made me feel a little better. LOL!
Paul and I were able to actually go out ALONE and spend some time chatting and reconnecting last week. We went to see Bon Jovi and enjoyed a nice quiet/romantic dinner before hand. It sure was nice not having to worry about changing diapers, or being at the beckon of everyone in my home!
My mom was also there with us for a week. So good, as always, to have her visit, but the kids really enjoy her company too. Marlie LOVES when grams is here, because she gets spoiled rotten =D She will also get alone time with grams and pops next week. She will be staying with them for her Spring Break. I'll miss her, but I know she wants to go and see her other friends, etc.
Anyway, hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day, and remember.....May the lilt of Irish laughter lighten every load. May the mist of Irish magic shorten every road. May you taste the sweetest pleasures that fortune ere bestowed. And, may all your friends remember all the favors you are owed.
