Who's In?

Tim and I are in the process of designing a new invention. The Zapper. It's inspiration is this little boy seen here and a bark collar. It will give your two year old not too much zap that it will hurt him, but just enough to teach him. Very handy for nursing mom's who can't get up every time they get into the toilet, unlock the DEADBOLT and get in the garage, throw random stuff in the toilet, climb in the baby's crib, stick pencils and crackers in the cd player, push the chair to every sink to try to wash their hands, and try to fill their sippy cup with water from the fridge dispenser then come in totally wet and say, "It Rain?". Oh yeah, and get your 32 ounce soda from the counter and drink/spill it everywhere. We are accepting any investors who may be interested.

6 week appt

It took about 2 or 3 weeks of putting Anderson back in his crib a million times for naps and bedtime before he figured out we weren't kidding about him staying in there. I'm so glad he finally gets it. After we got that down, We took the front off of the crib for his bed. The first night every time I checked on him after I fed Minnie, he was asleep on the floor. We put some pillows down to break his fall and I think he's learned. This is how I found him during his nap the other day.
I had my 6 week appointment yesterday and all I have to say is BOOOO! I hate this time, for multiple reasons, but mostly because of the fact that now I feel like I have to start losing the baby weight and exercise. No more eating treats all day and telling myself I'll stop when I can work out. I've already postponed the exercising until next week. I also like to tell myself I need to ease into things because of the c-section. Sure, I'll keep telling myself that.

Random Happenings

Does anyone have a comb for this little girl? I seriously don't brush my own hair everyday, let alone Minnie's. Can you tell?

This sums up what we've been up to lately: Me chasing Anderson. If you can't see to the right on the floor, Andy got himself some cereal while I was feeding Minnie. I swear he is into everything. My parents watched the kids last night so Tim and I could go to dinner for our Anniversary, and before I even left, my dad had to chase Andy down after he had crossed the street and was trying to climb in the ditch. He figured out how to unlock the deadbolt on the door to our garage so I can't even trust him in our own house. We're going to have to expand our Fort Knox security at home or else who knows where he'll end up.



Today I went to Marci's and hung out all morning. It was nice to have some adult conversation. Minnie and London were hanging out together. We had to take some pictures. Of course they were sooo squirmy while we were taking them.

Looks like they are instant friends though. I'm pretty sure they had just high fived in the next picture. They were probably both planning to make their mom's life miserable tonight and get up a lot. Sneaky little newborns! Thank you Marci for getting the stupid bow to stay in her hair. It is still in there now!

Wow

All I can say is that I forgot how tired you get with a newborn. If I sat still for 3 minutes I'm sure I'd be out. Not to mention, I'd like to tie Anderson's hands behind his back for the entire day. As long as there is no rope marks, no one will know right?? Just Kidding. It was a sad day the other day at the Coombs house. In an attempt to lower their Cox bill, my parents got rid of their home phone. Yes it's true, after 25 years, it no longer exists. My mom said she cried when they turned it off. My sisters and I told them no one will ever be able to get a hold of us. I'm sure we all remember our good friend's phone numbers from 7th grade...

I can rattle off a few myself. So, if you ever want to talk to Steve and Renee again, you'll have to go through me and get their cell phone numbers. Good Bye 821-5141.
