Ozzy 12 weeks


weighed ozzy on the scale with me. i wont tell you what we weigh together, but minus my weight, he weighs 14.5 lbs. which puts him around the 80th percentile for weight. mimi at this age weighed in at a whopping 18 lbs (95th percentile is just 15 lbs) which put her off the charts...waaaaaayyyyyy off the chart. by 4 months she exceeded the weight limit for the infant car seat. i think ozzy will be able to use this car seat for longer than mimi ever did. he's gaining weight at just the right pace and proportion (length and head circumference are also in the 75-80th percentile). he was really fussy today, i latched him on at least 6 times in less than 3 hours this evening! he clearly is growing and needs more milk...jahshik!

he's getting slightly better with grabbing and holding things. i find it so comical to watch him trying to reach for his pacy when he's laying on his tummy. he gets into sky diving positioning and tries to wave his hands over the pacy in an attempt to grab and drag it towards himself.

more and more i'm finding him flipped onto his back. i'll put him on his tummy and a few minutes later i'll see him roll onto his back and then a smile spreads on his face as he takes in the new view.

and the rolls. love the rolls on the legs and the around his wrists. absolutely delectable. put a little hot sauce on that..mmm!...good eats.

and his smile. did i mention that i love it when he smiles? it's so sweet. i'm in love. not with tall, dark, and handsome, but short, bald and fat.

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
