yay baby, happy birthday

he now weighs 13 lbs (officially bigger than my cats now) and is 23.5 inches long

we got him a new kickin coaster bouncer that he seems to like. it has a spring board that when he kicks his legs it glides the seat back and forth. hes still slightly young for it but he figured it out and kicked up a storm for a bit there today.

last night he slept *ten hours*. i got worried about him and kept checking on him cause the longest hed slept previously was 6.75 hours so when he went to sleep at about ten pm and slept straight until 8am i thought something was wrong. *fingers crossed that it keeps up*

tomorrow we head out on our epic journey…off to tennessee with an infant to see great grandma, yay!

new pix up in the gallery

today lucas smiled at me 😀

hes been smiling for several weeks, but today was the first time he was smiling cause he was reacting to me.

it started off that he would smile a little half smile in his sleep when he was content. that was as early as one week old. then around 5 weeks old he would smile when we were holding him after his bottle and hed been looking at us and hed crack into a grin. but these smiles were all on his own. today i had him on the changing table and i grinned at him and said “hi baby!” and he smiled back at me in response to me smiling at him and not just cause he was grinning at his own inner thoughts.

ive spent the past two days formatting all my diary entries on this site from 2005 to now, printing them, and gluing them into my physical diary so that ill always have them. esp since i had only written on here and not actually in my diary since like 2004. it was about 80 full size pages – 160 diary size pages worth of stuff. a couple of times i had recorded my schedule so im going to try to remember to do that tomorrow for comparison.

weds was paul and my’s 3 yr anniversary. as luck would have it, my new laptop was delivered that day! its beautiful. paul had also bought me the Sims 3 even tho we had said we werent doing presents this year (paul made a sim of me and gave it the neurotic trait – hmph). then mom watched lucas while paul and i went to melting pot for dinner and paul had got me flowers. it was a very enjoyable day 😀

on monday (22nd) matt and sarah got married in vegas. i was out with lauren, jana, and kristie to go to dinner/movies (The Proposal), but they had a 24 hr webcam feed so i was able to watch it when i got back home. they got back from vegas thurs and had a party at their house friday night. again mom watched lucas so paul and i could go out (i am sooooo glad my mom lives nearby and not in another state and soo glad that paul works from home or theres a good chance i wouldnt set foot outside my house this whole first year). we didnt stay very long tho cause it was all people from matt and sarahs works that we didnt know and you know how i am about being around people i dont know.

steph is coming home this weekend and we are going to a 4th of july bbq at dads house. grandmother stone will  be there….

speaking of neurotic, im packing up the newborn clothes and swapping them out for the 0-3month size. he can still squeeze into the newborns, but i decided it was time for something a little less snug and something new. i was going thru his pix tho and noticed that most the pix are just him wearing the little undershirts and you dont see too many of his cute outfits, so my mission is to get photos of him in all his newborn clothes before i pack them away.

lucas is definitely tracking movement now. tonight i was walking around the bedroom and his eyes would follow me as i walked back and forth and hed turn his head when i went across the room to watch me.

OMG im so annoyed. i typed all this stuff and it got deleted. GRRRR.  paul your laptop sux.

ok so what i was saying was that i should read medicine boxes before i take pills. today i was having a sneezing fit so i took two benadryl cause the front of the box said it was for sneezing. apparently the back said may cause “marked drowsiness” but i didnt read that part and ended up sleeping like the whole day today. not that it really matters cause i like sleeping, esp since i have nothing else to do with my life without a computer to play on and i cant watch tv cause paul doesnt like anything i try to watch. he got especially annoyed tonight when i tried to watch High School Musical.

so we didnt go to rebeccas wedding tonight cause mom ran off to hilton head and i had been planning on having her watch lucas. i felt guilty not going cause i had rsvped that i would and i felt obligated to go. but by not going we saved $300 since paul had to buy a new suit and i would have had to go get a new dress as well. oh well, i doubt theyll miss me.

i bought some new CDs tonight. theory of a deadman, hinder, rev theory, slipknot. my new laptop will have a CD burner in it so i can actually make all the CDs that i promise people.

my fridge is on the blink. my milk kept going bad which virtually never happens to me cause i drink so much milk. i thought since i have been eating less cereal these days (in favor of sausage egg and cheese biscuits) that i wasnt going thru it fast enuf. but then i noticed other stuff isnt as cold as it used to be and the ice cream in the freezer, while still frozen, is soft. this sux cause i was just about to buy a new dishwasher and i still hafta pay for the carpet. knock on wood that the washing machine holds out for now so i can pay off some debt. ive been watching the HGTV home shows and get jealous of their kitchen makeovers. im thirsty.
