Life just keeps getting better...

Okay, so I played hookey from work last Thursday...actually, I was feeling like crap. But I've been following this new "win what you really want" contest on Mix 96, and trying my hardest to get through. I missed the song announcement that morning, and when I checked the name of the song on the website, I couldn't for the life of me remember one note of the song. Anyway, long story short, the song came on the radio, a bell went off in my head, and I actually got through. Basically, I won $100 gift certificate for Reno Depot, and I've been entered in a $30,000.00 grand prize draw... how awesome is that?! Only 160 people will be entered in this draw, so the odds are pretty decent. Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

All tests normal.

Oh, oh, oh, we had the appointment for Mykah with the geneticists on Jan 11. All tests are normal, so he's not a Little Person after all. The only thing that is really off is his weight, but even then, he doesn't look like he's underweight. So, we have to follow-up with the GI specialists at MCH, but I'm no longer worried.

Smoke-free...not!

Damn, yes, I started smoking again. I went 5 days, but allowed a certain family situation get to me, and I started smoking again. Grrrrrrrrrrrr...

Smoke-free!

Okay, so here I am in my 78th smoke-free hour. Yes, I am quitting smoking, and although it's still not easy, I've found an excellent method for quitting. Laser therapy. It's not without it's challenges (I still have to deal with the psychological aspect of quitting smoking), but at least it helps ease some of the physical unpleasantries of quitting.

We have scooting...

Well, Mykah's bum scoot is coming along faster than I thought. Put it this way, I'm scrambling to clean up small things, dirt, etc. in a 5 foot radius around him... I put him down somewhere, and he doesn't stay put very long. I think he'll actually be moving from room to room in the house by next week.

Mobility is just around the corner...

Yes, Mykah looks as if he'll start doing his own version of crawling pretty soon. I say "his own version", because it's actually not crawling at all. Right now, he turns himself in circles while sitting on his bum, using his feet to move him around. Well, he wanted a toy that was just out of his reach, and he used his hands to pull himself forward to get it (while still sitting on his bum!) It's really cute, and very funny all at the same time.

Happy New Year...

I actually saw the New Year come in this time... I've slept through it for the past 4 years at least. I had intended to go to bed at 9:30 last night, but my kids had other plans. It was fun, and both my babies saw the new year come in too. When the music started after the ball dropped, Zach started dancing, and little Mykah, sitting on his Papa's lap was trying to dance as best he could too (I call it "bum-bopping" since he can't walk yet). So, Happy New Year to every one!!
