2 Month Dr. Appt.

At n's doctor appointment yesterday, he weighed 14 pounds and measured 23.5 inches. My suspicions of his infant acne, cradle cap and eczema were also confirmed. He was so calm throughout the whole thing. He drank up his rotovirus oral vaccine as if he enjoyed it. He did cry a little after his three pokes in his thighs, but that is to be expected. I have this internal conflict of wanting him to grow up and staying the way he is, so small and cute!

College Sports: Revenue by Conference

#2 ACC: $162M
#3 SEC: $149M
#4 Big 12: $119M
#5 Pac-10: $89M
#6 Big East: $78M (from thewizofodds.com)

Wow! This is bad news for the Pac-10. The Pac-10 should be at least third. Having attended a Pac-10 and a Big Ten school, I could tell the difference in fan support.

Big Boy

As of our last weekly weigh-in (on Sunday), n was at least 13 lbs. Official stats will be taken on Monday, for his two month appointment. He is already wearing and fitting into his 3-6 month clothes!

Mother's Day/Dad's Birthday

Last week my grandma had a stroke, so my parents went up to visit her this past weekend. At first I thought that meant we would have to cancel our planned Mother's Day/Dad's birthday celebration. However, I rescheduled it for Sunday night and everyone made it, so that was nice. We had take-out from Zankou's.

My mom played "Happy Birthday" on the ukelele while we sang. My sister made the cake--yum!

U-Pick Strawberries

On Friday we went with my moms' group to Tanaka Farms in Irvine for their strawberry tour. This was k's third time! It was the first time, however, that the kids could actually pick the berries and take them home in a basket. The previous two years there were not enough strawberries, so it was just "eat as many as you can while you are out in the field for 15 minutes". (n hung out with my mom in the shade...it was pretty hot that day).

After a brief hesitation, k ate her fill of strawberries. She wasn't too keen on the picking part, so I picked, and she ate. I tried to fill k's basket to the brim, but a lot of them ended up bruising. I think I picked ones that were a little overripe, too (you know, the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice?)

In the future I would like to go apple or cherry picking--I've never done that before.

k's new favorite thing is "holding" n.

Spring Cleaning

Today D sat out in front of our complex for about four hours selling some of our unwanted "stuff" for our community yard sale. His total haul? Just over $30. Not bad, since he also did a lot of his BSF, talked to the neighbors, helped our community and we were able to get rid of some of the things that were weighing us down. I'm glad that D is the type of person that I could send out to do this sort of thing. He then drove the leftovers to Goodwill.


k, the Bag Lady


k is becoming more affectionate with "baby Nini". This is how she likes to hold him (by the look on his face, he doesn't enjoy this too much). I can't wait until they can become friends!
