So, I've been notified that it has been 1 week since my last post. I've had a bunch of things I've thought about posting, but I never got around to it. I'd like to pretend I've been busy doing important things, but really, I developed an even worse obsession than blogs.... craigslist. I don't know what came over me, but last week I was on a hunt for some new-used things. I'm trying to keep it in check now, but I did get some useful items. A Graco Duoglider for $65, a Jumperoo for $25, and a Little Tykes Police Car (like the Cozy Coupe but it looks like a Police Car) for $20. I'll have to share some pictures of these items. It's nice to finally have a double stroller so I can push both of them at the same time. MJ was doing a nice job of walking with us, but sometimes it's nice to keep him contained in the stroller.
So, a lot happened last week.
Starting Monday night, Joey decided he would start going to bed around 8-8:30 instead of 10-10:30. I wasn't sure what I'd think of this new situation. He used to go about 10:30-3 and 3-7. Then he started going 8:30-2, 2-5, 5-8 Or something like that. So, he "gets up" twice in the night, but I am child free after 8:30-9pm. It was kind of accidental, but I guess as Joey has been doing MJs bedtime routine with us, he has been getting sleepy at that time too. For awhile there I was hoping he'd wake up again after 8 so I could give him a bath and put him to bed later. Now, I know to bathe him earlier.
Joey has been smiling and cooing even more. So we've been taking more movies rather than pictures. We've been trying to give Joey more bottles with milk that I've pumped. He still prefers me, but we are working on it.
MJ had a mystery fever Monday night and Tuesday...still kind of around today. He just had a fever but no other symptoms. I was prepared for the worst and was trying to figure out how I could keep Joey and MJ away from each other. But really, the mystery fever wasn't too bad.
MJ has also been potty training himself again. I think I mentioned how the night before Joey was born, MJ decided to be a big boy and poop and pee in the toilet. He hasn't been consistent. But the past few days he's asked to go a few times and actually gone. I've been hesitant to take this on completely b/c we are going on a big road trip from April 12th-23rd. We'll see how this goes.
Finally, last Tuesday we added 3 fish to the fish tank. I'd like to say that all is well, but it looks like one of them isn't going to make it. At least he was only $2.
Oh, one more thing, we got a new camcorder. It is totally amazing! I haven't even played with all of it's features yet, but it is pretty cool. It wasn't cheap, but we plan on making it an investment for our memories.
