ozzy update




ozzy's been sleeping in his crib the past few nights, but is still waking frequently to feed, starting around 1 or 2 am and then every two hours after that. i have been slowly getting him to take in a bit more milk during the day. he latches on and takes an additional 1-2 oz from a bottle. and he's eating solid food well. he loves to hold the spoon and gnaw on it. he took an hour long nap at noon after staying awake for almost 5 hours. but then only took a brief 30 min nap at 5pm.

the other day, he learned to use the step up from the sunken family room floor to push himself up to a partial stand. by 6 mos mimi was able to pull herself up on the ottoman, but ozzy isnt quite able to do that just yet, but he's definitely mobile and definitely trying to get himself upright.

i'm starting to hear a few more sounds from him. this morning i heard some mmms. sometimes we hear some 'i' sounds, but mostly he makes ahhh sounds and some bah bah bahs. he likes to bob his head up and down, smacking his mouth repeatedly on my shoulders to make that bah bah bah sound.

peek a boo games amuse him even more now than it did over a month ago. he is fascinated with the water dispenser on our fridge. and i'm convinced it must be something to do with the male gene, he LOVES the remote control. if it's on the floor he'll pick it up and start changing channels, MUCH to mimi's dissatifaction.

mimi likes to 'police' ozzy. if there's something she doesnt think he should play with she swoops in and takes it from him saying, no no! ozzy! that's not a good thing to play with! and of course as soon as she pulls an item from his grasp he starts crying. other times she'll line up his toys, just out of his reach, then decide which one item she will allow him to play with, saying, you can have that and i get the rest.

Aaaand this is how the tormenting starts.

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.
