Day 101

Day 100

Yesterday morning (after two laps around the apartment complex) Soren & I headed out for some erranding. Erranding completed, we happened to pass by a Chipotle, which seemed like exactly the right thing to have for lunch. Normally when we get Chipotle food, we just get it to-go and eat at home, but Soren & I were both quite hungry. The whole time we were in line he kept signing and asking for food; it must have smelled good to him, too! So I ordered the lad a cheese quesadilla, and we sat down to lunch together. It was nice. :)

Day 99

I've been feeling pretty darn good in the mornings lately. Quite a bit more energy, almost no nausea at all; it's a nice change! Of course, by the afternoon I've been developing a raging headache and feeling just as crummy as ever, but that's all the more reason to take advantage of the mornings. Tom's been gently nagging me (and rightly so) about getting more exercise, since the earlier I start building up my stamina, the better off I'll be when birthin' time rolls around. So yesterday I started what will hopefully become a daily routine of strapping Soren in the stroller after breakfast and taking off for a walk around the apartment complex before it gets too miserable outside. The loop's about a mile long, and I'll try to work up to 3 laps a day. That'll get me out & walking for about an hour, which is pretty good exercise.

So yesterday we just did one lap for starters, then came home & got on with our day. Here's Soren playing with one of "his" remotes while I unpacked this week's box of produce. Since we got the Tivo, we don't use the cable box remote anymore, so we took the batteries out and let him play with it. Of course, it's the least interesting remote as far as he's concerned. This kid's no dummy. ;)

Day 98

Soren slept for nearly ten hours Monday night! He did some talking in his sleep around midnight but didn't actually wake up, and then slept straight through til morning. It was amazing. We barely had time for breakfast before we had to be off to his 15 month doctor visit. He had a clean bill of health, weighing in at 23 lbs 14 oz (just below the 50th percentile for his age). He's still tall, at 32 inches (70th percentile). It was the day of the big MMR shot, plus 2 others. He was sad about it, but he's a trooper and perked back up quickly. Fortunately, he didn't run a fever or seem to have any negative reactions, aside from some general soreness in the limbs where he got his shots.

Here he is brushing his teeth before bed last night. Cute little guy.

Day 97

I don't remember what we did Monday. Oh, I baked some bread, but it didn't rise well at all. Fail bread, though tasty. Soren slept pretty well Sunday night and then was a decent napper on Monday. I caught just a quick shot of Tom getting him ready for bed.

Day 96

Sunday, lazy Sunday. Big accomplishment of the day was giving Tom a haircut. Here's the little Sir, freshly bathed and (not quite) ready for bed.

Day 95

I know. The stripey pants and camo socks are not exactly a fashion win. He was cozy though.

Saturday evening we ventured into the city to have dinner with Max. He made some tasty chili and a salad. Agnes is still on the night shift and wasn't able to join us, unfortunately, but we'll catch her next time. It was the first we got to see of their new place. Rowhouses are crazy skinny! After dinner we took a little walk. It was pretty late already by Soren standards, but he kept up really well for several blocks, and then Tom carried him the rest of the way. There were fireflies out, and those are always cool to see.

Soren, amazingly, stayed awake for the car ride home. He was out like trout not long after, though. ;)

Day 94

New soccer outfit #2. Sorry the picture's blurry (again!). I seem to be having a string of bad luck with the blurs lately. I swear they look sharper on my camera's LCD screen. And I think, "Great! I've got my cute pic of the day. Done!" Then I upload them and they're blurry or out of focus. Oh well. He's still cute, right?

Not much to report on the day. We played. We went over some of his letter/number/shape cards. He actually brought me the Q and the P while saying things that sounded suspiciously like Q and P. And "circle," which actually sounds something like "gurkle." We skype-chatted with the grandfolks. We did our grocery shopping. That's about it.

Day 93

New soccer outfit! Crappy camera phone picture! Silly Sir pose! Happy Thursday.

Day 92

Yesterday we had some errands to run. One of those errands was getting cat food, which was near the camera store (I wanted to see if they had a particular lens for sale in their used section), so I brought my camera along. This was fortunate, as I was able to grab some pretty awesome shots of the pretty flowering trees near the dry cleaner's and some very striking clouds. And, of course, Sir being silly in the back seat. This is his "stinky toes" face.
