Jack.
Is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. We took him to Goore's today because I wanted to weigh him and they have a baby scale. He barely fit. He did, however, weigh in at 20 lbs 4 oz! Crazy! To think that he has gained over 14 lbs since he came home from the hospital (he weighed 6 13 at birth and was 6 2 when he came home) is just ridiculous. No wonder my back was killing me on Sunday when he fell asleep in the sling at Denio's. He is just rolling all over the place these days. The funniest part of it all, though, is that he doesn't really roll from his tummy to his back. He probably only has done that 15 or 20 times, but once he learned how to roll from his back to his tummy, it's nonstop. He knows now that he can scoot himself around in a circle while on his stomach, so I think that he prefers to be face down now, instead of just laying there like a turtle on his back. He wants so badly to crawl, he has started trying to get himself up onto his knees, and once that happens, my life is just going to be all about chasing after him. Those dogs better watch out!
Hubby.
Is doing great. Work is going ok. He is working at the restaurant in the Arden area, which he hates, but it's better than no job. He will be a front of the house manager, but is currently being trained to work in the kitchen, which is something they have never done before. So, this is a good thing, he will be able to have many more opportunities other managers don't have. He is also playing softball on Monday nights with 2 different teams. Jack and I have gone out to watch him once, but it's hard to go to them all. A, it's way too cold at night still to have baby out and B, if the game starts any later than 7:30, we get home way too late. I like Jack in bed by 8:30, 9 at the ABSOLUTE latest, and so, we don't get to go to many games this season. Maybe the summer season we will be able to go see Daddy play more often.
Me.
I'm hanging in there. Work totally sucked this last week. My schedule was very different than it usually is, and I think I let that kind of affect me. Plus, hubby and I for some reason had our schedules messed up in our minds and poor Marcia got the run-around for a few days. But luckily, it all worked out in the end, Jack got taken care of and this week is promising to be better. I have much better shifts, anyway. Lewis and I also got to go on a real date(!) for the first time in, seriously, 6 months. We went to the mall to buy a lawnmower and also decided to go have dinner. We went to McCormick and Schmick's. It was... ok... We sat at the bar, because that has always been our M.O. (well, before we had a high chair to contend with) and I think that was a mistake. The bartender was really nice, but our food took forever! And I know that that's kind of how it goes when you sit at the bar at a restaurant, but I feel like if we are going to spend that kind of money on dinner, I want to have exceptional service to go along with it. So, next time, we'll wait the 15 minutes and get a table. I am SUPER excited for our anniversary that is coming up VERY soon! I can't believe we've been married for almost 1 year! The past year and a half has just been incredible! Let's recap, shall we?

So, long story short, my life has been crazy for the past year and a half and I LOVE IT!
And now, since it is bedtime for this tired mama, some pictures!
This is how I found him after nap one day.
I love his little mouth in this picture.
This is why we bought a lawnmower.
The bumper came down this day.
