New Developments

So Evie had her one month check up today.  Remember how the doctor was worried about her weight and we had to take her in for a weight check?  Yeah, doesn’t seem to be a problem now!  She went from 7 lbs. 0 oz. to 10 lbs. 1 oz. in a month!!  I don’t want to call her a little piggy (I’m no Alec Baldwin) but that is pretty impressive!

And speaking of eating, I gave her her first bottle tonight.  It took two tries (not too bad from what I hear) but after that she took to it like a duck to water.  But then again, after the previous paragraph, maybe that is not too surprising!  So looks like mommy doesn’t have to worry when it is time to go back to work!

Lots of visitors this weekend, but we didn’t really do anything.  The weather was really nice, but we only really got out once for a walk.  I did manage to grill out about 3 times, so that was good.

Just as a side note, there is now a billboard for TMZ.com on my way to work.  Doesn’t it seem weird that a website is advertising on a billboard?  I should climb up there and try to double click it.

Okay, okay, enough with the small talk…make with the ha ha’s!

I’d like to address this one right away.  It is a “gourmet” candy bar that consists of a bacon center surrounded by chocolate.  Got Book wants to know if my love of bacon overcomes my general disgust of mixing sweet and salty things?  The answer is no, absolutely not!  I think that question has been asked and answered with the bacon snack bars and the bacon caramel.  Why would I want bacon and chocolate mixed when I could have bacon and chocolate separate?  I do not even like to get syrup on my bacon or sausage!

Now, I think this is an ingenious idea!  It is an alarm clock and when it goes off it runs away from you!  Then it randomly changes direction, so by the time you catch it you are awake.  Watch the video to see it in action.  It will even jump off your nightstand!

Now finally, this isn’t exactly a game, but I was curious the other day how fast I could type.  You, dear reader, should try this out and tell me if it seems accurate to you.  I was typing on the Wizard of Oz text.  I messed up some at the end so I think I could do better, but I guess I did pretty good.  I don’t really know what the average typer types?

    Clearly I missed my calling as a receptionist.

    Also, those artistic pictures that Sara took of Evie made for a great birth announcement – how cute! Glad to hear all three of you are doing well. Jen
