So to back up a bit, we went to MA yesterday to have a belated February birthday celebration. Jocelyn was in her element with the present opening! Poor Morgan took a bad fall... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1817 Sun, 09 Mar 2008 18:14:12 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1816
He didn't grow much this quarter - he grew 1/2 in to 30.5 in (25th percentile) and gained 12oz to 21lbs even (5th percentile) - but the doctor said it was fine. Josh got to answer yes to all the developmental questions! yay! Also I had made a list of his words last night to count them up - here they are:

ball (BAH)

oh what a week!

So I think we last left off on Monday when I was starting to feel better and Jocelyn was sick and Jesse was getting sick. Well they did indeed take turns getting up all night and I think I counted up my sleep at 2.5 hours - NOT in a row! I still went back to work on Tuesday as I had things I had to tend to. By Tuesday afternoon Jocelyn was starting to feel somewhat better but Jesse was worse and stayed up most of the night and again I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1774 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:29:40 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1753
Well thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It was not a very good birthday! I was soooooo sick all weekend! We had to cancel going to MA on Saturday. I could NOT get out of bed Saturday and didn't get up at all Sunday either. I couldn't even eat cake! Plus I couldn't watch the kids long enough for Josh to go buy one anyway. Sore throat, fever, chest cold - I was miserable. Saturday night Josh agreed to get up with Jesse (who has started... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1753 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:49:03 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1696
So about a month ago the little light panel thingy on the dash of my car stopped working. Then 2 weeks ago I noticed I was low on antifreeze so last weekend Josh put more in for me. Yesterday I was low again. Being as the car is a 1998, Josh and I both knew what this meant - it was time to get a new car before this one no longer had value! So I am very excited to announce that I bought my very first BRAND NEW car! Happy Birthday to me! I had been looking at... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1696 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:22:14 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1695
That Build a Bear is a smart place. We received in the mail a $5 birthday certificate for Jocelyn so I decided why not, we need another stuffed animal around here! But anyway, she got there and looked over the choices for a while but couldn't decide so I finally had to give her just 2 choices and then she decided easily - a bright pink pepto bismal looking bear. (the other choice was a brown furry bear).

So I hand her the bear and tell her to stand... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1695 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:21:09 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1606
Once upon a time there was a pretty little princess named Jocelyn who liked to have tea parties. The princess and her mother the queen live in a house of blue and there has not previously been much call for tea parties. But lucky for the princess, Santa had brought her a new porcelain teddy bear tea set. So the queen prepared the tea and some miniature coffee cake on the miniature teddy bear plates and the two of them sat down to tea. They were having such fun... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1606 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:57:06 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1575
Holy good golly it is COLD out!!

So I found some movies from Feb 2001 to July 2001 - so when Morgan was 7-12 months. I watched it all and I gotta say, even now, even REALLY looking, he seems perfectly normal to me (besides being covered in eczema, poor kid). He responded to his name, he did the hand motions to open shut them, he was saying mama ad baba, clapping, making eye contact, playing with balls and cars, army crawling, and generally grunting. There... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1575 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:29:47 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1574
Today Jocelyn was sitting on Josh's lap and Morgan spontaneously came over to her and hugged her. She LOVED it. So she held her arms out and asked for more hugs ("more hugs Morgan?"). He hugged her again and then touched both her cheeks with his hands. This is how he says he loves you, but it was the first time he had ever done it to her so she was scared. When he let go she looked at me confused and frightened and I told her "Morgan loves you... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1574 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:29:01 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1517
ok, how cool is this - I remembered that I wanted to send Jocelyn to the preschool that they have at the high school so went to find out when and the director says I'm right on time and there's an open house tomorrow and Josh can take her in to see the room and give the registration and such. the session doesn't start until mid-March and runs until the end of May - so about 10 weeks. So 2 days a week, 2 hours each day for 10 weeks is $65!!

oyoyoy is the week over already?? I have so much to say that I can't think of anything to say.

Jesse has been all about talking this week. He's constantly trying new words. It cracks me up it's just too cute. He also says towwwwwne when we sing wheels on the bus, and thinks he's pretty smart for singing along! Jesse's been a good sport about sleep this week. We seem to have a routine where he gets up about 5am and I bring him in... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1510 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:06:18 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1460
What a fun weekend! First of all - I BAKED! I think we all know that is VERY unusual!! Yesterday I made gingerbread dough from a recipe mom had to give me from memory and involved such measurements as "a big blob" and such instruction as "beat the sh!t out of it". The cookies turned out great though! Jocelyn only licked the frosting off of hers, but Jesse was happy to help her eat the cookie part. Then yesterday I also made tollhouse... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1460 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 18:49:53 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1435
ok, don't tell anyone - but I got 8 HOURS OF SLEEP last night! In a row! Jesse got even more - upwards of 10 hours! Like I said, don't tell anyone - I don't want to jinx it. He's actually slept well the last 3 nights. About 8:30 to 6:30 the last two nights, and probably would have been the same Thursday night but I have to wake him up at 5:30 so I can nurse him before work. Can't tell if it's because he's feeling better, or because... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1435 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 06:53:43 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1420
Well well well what a week! I should warn you now - if you are feeling queasy, step away from the email!!

Let's see, we last left off at Thanksgiving right? We had spent the morning at Elisabeth's making gingerbreak houses and cookies, then dined at Mandy's - yum! The kids all had a great time, as did we. Then Friday Susan and Jonathan came and we had Thanksgiving part 2! Saturday night they watched the kids and Josh and I went out for a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1420 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:30:34 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1376
Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day - I know we did. I didn't take enough pictures and am waiting for mom to send me hers (hint hint!).

Jesse decided to get up at 5:30am today, after also being up at 2:30 even though the rest of the week he had slept through the night, and as I was rocking him trying to coax him back to sleep I noticed that Josh's shoes were in front of the rocking chair and his wine glass was on the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1376 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 05:28:35 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1375
Why is it that once you get motivated to write your holiday newsletter and have it all formatted and test it on the first page and such, that THAT is the minute you run out of black ink and don't have any replacement cartridges??? argh! Plus I had already gone to Target and didn't feel like going back out - so it'll just have to sit in computer memory for a while.

No big news this week. We all have colds, which means that Jesse has learned... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ronniesaid) http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1375 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 05:27:49 GMT http://ronniesaid.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/1325
So Jesse is a whole year old - where does the time go?? We actually did a cake Wednesday night because Timothy and I had to go to his viola *informance* (informal performance) on Thursday. Then yesterday everyone came down for a breakfast birthday party.

Yesterday was rainy and cold so I went out to run but only did 35 minutes, or about 3 miles. I had had some plans but was feeling run down and needing of a break, so canceled everything and we all sat around all day. It was nice, we really needed it. Once the kids went to bed Josh and I caught up on 4 episodes of Heroes.
