Watermelon

I love it. Seriously. I can eat all I want, all day, every day, and it's never too much.  It's not too much of a good thing, and it's not too many calories.  I actually read somewhere that watermelon is a negative calorie food, meaning you burn more calories digesting it than you could consume from it.  It just makes me happy.

So we celebrated Thomas's birthday, and it was so much fun.  We went to the aquarium, and at first he was a little scared of the fish, but then he loved it. Especially the penguins.  We had a fun cake and cupcakes and pizza and breadsticks. It was great fun.  Then on his actual birthday we ordered more pizza (I'm sick of it) and sang and gave him his gift. We got him a tool set, with a drill that actually spins and screws in little screws.  He loves it. As in for 3 days that's the only toy he played with (that's a big deal for a 2 year old, let me just tell you).  He also got a fun magnetic alphabet book, cute clothes, and shoes from our families. It was a great 2nd birthday if I do say so myself.

The kids got shots, and Lorelai is 13.15 lbs, 23 inches, and Thomas is 23lbs and 33 inches.  I have one tall skinny kid and one short chunky one. I LOVE IT!  It's so much fun :)  However both kids shots at the same time, bad plan.  I had to have my mom come with me because James was at school, it's a good thing she was there because I hate it! Thomas was so upset, he kept saying "Hurt, hurt"  and it made my heart hurt.  Lorelai got over it pretty quickly, I cuddled her and she was fine, Thomas was sad for hours and kept telling me about it.  But he's done with shots until kindergarten, party!!!  Lorelai goes back in 2 months.

The police academy is in full swing now, and I miss James like crazy. But he's having a great time.

My little not-roller

Lorelai hates to roll over.  She has done it about 5 times, and gets really upset about it. So now she refuses.  She scoots around on her stomach, and can do a complete 180 while on her stomach to face the toys she wants, but she refuses to roll over.  It's a little odd actually. Thomas was a rolling fiend, he wouldn't stop, I couldn't keep him on a blanket to save my life. Lorelai, on the other hand, must get motion sickness or something.... We do tummy time all the time, sometimes twice a day. Who knows.
I often find myself only posting on my blog when one of my friends has, and I think "Oh, I should write something" 
My phone fell into the toilet. Very tragic, it's currently getting a rice bath to fix it, I hope.
Lorelai started solids. She is pretty good with them, still spits some out, but actually eats too.
Thomas still refuses to eat, and Lorelai is gaining on him. Literally. They are less than 10 lbs apart now. My little chunky girl.
Thomas LOVES nursery all of the sudden. He gets mad when we leave, and asks to go back all the time. Which is great!
I have our Halloween costumes almost all done, it's awesome. We are the famous foursome from the Wizard of Oz.
Lorelai is barely into 3-6 month clothing, apparently she's not as chunky as I'd like to believe...
James is amazing, he has made it through 6 weeks of school, every day. Until last Friday, I asked him to skip because I missed him.

Life is good, and Lorelai is crying, got to go do my thing!
