Bundle up!

I'm feeling cooped up today... and I'm not really desiring to get out either because of the chill (and baby). I have piles and piles of things I need to be doing and I can't seem to get it together. I got a couple of things done while James napped this morning but they are so minimal, I can't even count them. It's sad when one of the things on the mental to do list is to finish watching the bachelor then delete from DVR (done). "B" was here for two days so I went to work and ran errunds which was nice. I miss my little man, though, when I'm out.

Thanks for those of you who are posting comments. I like reading them. They spur me to continue on with the blog.

Things James is doing now at (gasp) almost 16 weeks old include having a bedtime of 6pm (ish) to about 6am (ish) with only waking, at most, twice in the night but usually only once to feed then right back down. He is smiling all the time. He can control his head so we've been putting him in all kinds of new toys he has. I think his favorite is the discovery gym from baby einstein. It is an endless amusement park for him. Mama loves! He takes three to four naps per day (usually three). He has the most joyful eyes. I can tell he's learning so much every day. He's drooling all over the place and loves to shove his left fist into his mouth as far as it will go. B thinks he is teething... I'm not sure. I read somewhere that it's around now that babies drool a ton anyway so.. we'll be looking for the pearly whites anyway.

I made BBQ brisket for some girls last friday night. It was the girls that all first lived together when we all moved to Birmingham: Katie Fanning Dixon, Kate MacIntosh Graham, Michelle Bloch and me. It was fun and I didn't blow the recipe. I not only made the brisket but also the BBQ sauce. It was really good. I didn't take a picture but the recipe is

If you are a new mama, soon to be mama, or a mama of any child probably under 2ish, I recommend the lullaby channel on Pandora. We've really enjoyed it.

Well, again, I can't find the camera cord to download the video from today so I will return later to put the video up :)

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Bundle up!
