snow!

well, we've got snow. already. we're buckling up for a long winter here in the northeast.

last winter bb wasn't so into the snow. he was all, "I'm cold!" "It's too windy!" "Want to go inside!" this year, so far, at least, he just wants to eat snow. every time we step out he's putting it in his mouth. he's fascinated with the whole thing. i'm not sure why. today we caught snow flakes on our tongues and pretended we were baby birds.

i'm debating whether i should tell him that when we were kids we'd mix snow with kool-aid powder and eat that for a snack. . .

birthday

yesterday was my 36th birthday and my daughters 2 month birthday. 2 of my good friends came to visit. my son and hubby made me a cake. there were many balloons and i got 2 gifts that i was wanting muchly.

:: the first--the new Duran Duran album. album titles and artwork have never been their forte in my opinion. but i'm psyched to have it none-the-less.

:: the second--a book i have borrowed from the library 3 times in the last year, so i'm totally jazzed to finally own it!

the best gift of all? my sweet, 2 month old babe continues to sleep really well. nothing like her brother. thank GOD. if she was, this mommy'd be in serious dire straits.

so, im a pretty happy birthday girl!

we're sleeping!

there is much joy in the house.

the baby sleeps.

she sleeps from 7 or 8pm until 4 or 5 am with only *one* feeding in between.

there are nightly happy dances going on in our living room. hubby and i have actually had time together. we sit on the couch all giddy that our kidS, plural, are asleep AT THE SAME TIME-- UPstairs.

and we're down stairs enjoying a slice of apple pie and watching shows on DVD! it's amazing. it's awesome.

it's going to keep up, right?

last night i told her she'd get a car on her 16th birthday if she keeps it up. yes, i do love my sleep.
