There are a bunch of little things to talk about, but as I find is often the case, none of them warrants their own post so they’re getting all lumped into this one, along with some pictures because WE ALL love pictures. Right, guys?

Gah, the “mommy blogging” segment on the “Today Show” was yesterday, if you’ve been living under a rock and didn’t know. And it was… mostly okay. I mean, I thought all the parts where Hoda and Kathie-Lee weren’t on the screen were great, that is. Yes, Hoda DID refer to mommy blogging with air quotes. Which made me want to promptly punch her in the face. And then Kathie-Lee babbled about how she doesn’t know anything about computers. And before you knew it, she was questioning the safety of blogging about your children. Because, you know, we wouldn’t want the INTERNET to know what our kids look like, their names, what they do on a daily basis, etc. Excuse me while I introduce Kathie-Lee (hereafter known as “pot”) to the kettle. Shoot, that women is renowned for babbling about her kids on her old show. And, uhm, HOW is it any different? Oh yeah, one medium is the internet where thousands read and one is television where MILLIONS watch. Ahem. And then poor Heather was cut off before she could even form a decent rebuttal. What a bunch of morons.

We had another “earthquake” last night. It was only a 3.5 or so (last night it was a 3.8… these things are always changing, apparently). Not terribly big, but enough to get my adrenaline pumping. I hadn’t felt a shake in over a week and I think I was starting to get a good false sense of security going. Dang it.

Evie is seven weeks old today. That doesn’t seem possible, does it? SEVEN WEEKS? That’s getting pretty close to two months. And after that it’s all downhill. Where has the time gone? I can’t believe how big she’s getting every day. She’s already getting a good layer of chunk going on. Her thighs are getting downright juicy. She’s getting long too. I’m used to how puny Liam always was, and I can already tell she’s out pacing him as an infant quite easily. Of course, that’s not really hard to do. He really was quite a puny runt.

My days have a pretty good rhythm to them now. Evie is still very resistant to being set down for any length of time, but I do it anyhow. I have to, at least a couple times a day while I’m dealing with Liam. She’s getting more used to her car seat so I’m hoping she’ll get more used to being un-attached to my person as well. After all, my to-do list is getting rather obscene. On the other hand, it’s really cool to be able to watch her become more and more aware as each day passes.
