Funny story about these PJ's: the other night (the same night that she first rolled over from her tummy to her back) Matt went in to check on Lily because she was crying. He opened up her sleep sac to see if she had a soiled diaper and found her pants crumpled up in a ball at the corner of the sleep sac! In her gassy rage, she had literally kicked her pants off! We couldn't stop laughing... I guess this is why almost all baby pajamas are one-pieces.

These froggy pjs are a hand-me-down from Phoebe and Natalie and I LOVE them. The funny thing is that they, as with the polka dot pjs above, are labeled 3-6 months but when I put them on her for the first time the other day they were no bigger than a lot of her 0-3 month things. In fact one of her 3-6 month stretchies is already too small and she hadn't even worn it yet. I guess this is one of those new mother lessons; don't rely on sizing alone. I had just put all of the 3-6 month items away and only went through them once she turned 12 weeks but now I guess I'll have to start going through things and sorting them by actual size and not labeled size.

In other Lily news, we've had a good 2 days after a bad 3 day stretch. It's always ups and downs with her. There is very little moderation to her personality. She has two modes: happy as a clam and mad as Hell! But on Wed. night she slept for a long stretch from 12:30 to 7 AM and then last night she slept from 12:30 to 6:30 so I'm hoping we're onto something here. Before Wed. she'd been going to bed at around 7 or 8 and then waking up at midnight to eat, sleeping and then waking up at 4 to eat, then sleeping until 6 or 7. We play until about 8 or 9 and then she usually sleeps for another 3-4 hours. It's divine to have that time to myself in the morning and I think my waistline will thank me since I can finally squeeze in some time on the elliptical.

On that note, I'm off to work out and rejoin the ranks of the fit and trim!

Holy smokes, I haven’t blogged since our November vacay to French Polynesia!!!!  I knew it had been a while but didn’t realize how far off the blagon I was! So much has happened in the past 2 months for us all & it feels a bit silly to blog about anything but at the same time, we all probably benefit from a little distraction, right? There have been a ton of tips out there about working from home.  Having given my share  already , I didn’t really read anything that I wasn’t already generally aware of and for the first month of quarantine it was pretty much business as usual for me. All that changed until almost 3 weeks ago when Matt reentered the corporate world.  His desk in the cave wasn’t going to work anymore.  With COVID-19, the kids are all home all day except for a brief walk or two and they need that space to play.  Plus, even if we could get them to stay out of the cave, he would still hear them ...

Good gods, it's been so long I almost don't know where to start!  Despite 2020 being 2020, we still had a really nice end to the year.  That period from Halloween to Christmas is always my favorite and still felt special even though we didn't get to do some of our traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Pier. In some ways I'm actually finding 2021 to be rougher than 2020.  We've turned the page on the year but in LA we haven't really turned the page on the pandemic yet.  As of a few days ago we were still hovering above the 15% ICU bed availability so it's hard to feel a sense of progress, even as so many other places seem to be on a path to normalcy.  We're also in the midst of our umpteenth COVID scare of the past year with our umpteenth suite of negative test results to match.  I don't understand how it's possible for our family to get so many colds when we barely leave the house. Despite all that, we've been keeping busy...

Gettin' Back in Shape

After losing most of my Jason-weight pretty quickly, I've stalled hard the past few months.  I don't have any excuses but I have a ton of reasons: I really enjoy having wine with dinner most nights. I really enjoy having something sweet after dinner most nights. I really don't enjoy running or any sort of cardio-aerobic activity. I really hate counting calories or keeping a food journal. I seem to always have morning calls, which cause me to miss the exercise class that I like the best.  Every time I got into a rhythm, I would get interrupted with another project that requires morning calls. I can lose weight pretty easily when I actually get my butt in gear so I never feel a sense of urgency about it. I was still nursing and hungry all the time. I could go on & on b ut after weaning Jason about a month ago, I lost that last one.  Since then, I started working out with a trainer every Tuesday afternoon & going to her group class every Friday morning. I...
