Where oh where has the time gone.
Which means my birthday is in 6 days. Ew.
Tink has become slightly obsessed with Blues Clues. Both good and bad I suppose. She's starting to chatter more and is going that blasted "Blues Clues" hand sign thing while going "Bluhbluh" when she wants to watch it. Score a point for the annoying show that is Blues Clues. She is once again mildly under the weather. I don't know what's going on with her. It's like every time she gets over something she's getting something else. Maybe I should explain to her that she doesn't get rewards points for getting sick. Because the rate she's going I'm sure she would be able to cash them in for one heck of a prize.
Thankfully none of it has passed off onto Dinky.
R2D2 has his Christmas concert tomorrow. How dare he. It's not possible that Christmas break starts in a mere 2 days. I refuse to believe that. I have so much to do in such a short amount of time. Meaning I should probably get all ... proactive about this rather than sitting on my tushie, drinking coffee and blogging.
Email just notified me that attempted delivery was made. Thank you Amazon for the steady stream of hooray it's not bills!! mail.
Dinky is way more acceptable with the Tula these days, yippee! Not that we use it much because it's slicker then a mountain of slugs outside. Because winter seems to have taken a break from our neck of the woods. Thus providing us with unseasonably warm weather. So rather than fluffy piles of white it's become lumpy piles of ice. Yet the weather says snow is coming. Who believes the weather. That weather forecast tends to lie more than a politician! (which is saying something because I've yet to hear of one that tells more truth!)
The guppies in the fish tank have figured out how to play in the stream of movement from the filter. Except the filter has been in there for a while now, so either I just noticed or the guppies are a few crayons short of a snack... I'm betting it's me.
Husby is busy figuring out the last and final kinks on getting his shop heated. Good for me ... aaaaand bad for me. Good because he'll be out of my hair and able to tinker in there. Bad because he'll be out of my hair, thus removed from the house. Thus removed from keeping Tink entertained when this momma needs a break. Oh well. Married life I guess.
So... remember how last week there was the pitiful weight gain because I had decided to up nursing over bottles? I reversed the process. Upped the bottles throughout the day so that he's mostly on formula feeds because I was thinking it could help. And boy was I freaking RIGHT!
2 weeks ago: 11lbs7oz
1 week ago: 11lbs8oz
Today?
12 FREAKING POUNDS!
That's a HUGE gain. Like the freaking biggest one yet!
Merry Christmas Me!! Dinky is 12 freaking pounds!
Just thought I'd share really quick. I'll try to do a bigger PT/OT update in a few days. I need to get my bake on.
The responsible bake. Not the other one. You know, just clarifying. In case anyone got the wrong ideas.

It's been a while..
Told you I was bad with this blogging thing! It's been over a week since I've last updated. So this shall just be a short one.
Dinky is now 11lbs7.4oz! That's a giant 6oz gain from last week! We might hit 12lbs before Christmas, so fingers crossed!!
Speaking of Christmas, our shopping is done! Now bring on the wrapping! I ordered my Christmas gift last week and it should be here soon. If you want to get technical, it's for Dinky as well. Hello Rockets Tula! Come live and play in my house.
I've also started making a couple baby toy prototypes. I need something to do with my days. Besides baking. It's the season for 1000000 types of cookies! And squares. And caramel corn. And chocolate pretzels. And....and........aaaaand. I love this season. It's so awesome.
Took the kids to see Santa today. Except Dinky wasn't in the shot. I feel kind of bad but I didn't want to pull him out of his seat while he was sleeping and then have to worry about Santa holding him properly. Tink was your typical 2 year old and gave the camera a what the heck is going on here? look. She was happy to leave. R2D2 still believes. And I love the fact he still does. It means he can hold onto his childhood for another year. I think tomorrow we shall start making salt ornaments and get things started for Christmas baking. And by started, I shall need a list. And popcorn. Lots of popcorn.
OT came last week and again this week. This time with PT. OT was surprised at the change in Dinky in just a week. PT gave me a stretch to do on his neck so that I can tilt his chin downwards. He uses one group of muscles when he should be using another group all together. It's part of the reason why he hardly looks left. He has a hard time.
But just a few days of doing this stretch and I've noticed a huge change already! OT and PT shall be here again just before Christmas and then in the new year.
....okay, my little man is awake. Time to go cuddle up with him and my big man and watch a show before bed.
Told you it was short.
