Brace yourself!

good knee/bad knee

I have been wondering how long it would take to get some sort of knee injury and the answer is 33 years. "Somehow" I managed to hurt my knee (read: a precarious maneuver called "the mommy train" which involves Max in the front carrier, Elise on my back and some weird tribal dance) I have spent the better part of the weekend with my knee elevated and iced. It really sucks because I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with it but it HURTS and there is swelling that has gradually worsened especially since going to dinner with Mike in 4 inch heels. I am waiting it out to see if ibuprofen and ice do the trick, otherwise I need to see an orthopedist next week:-(

Culinary success

Well, the success wasn't wholly in the beautifully executed rice cereal + milk dish but the fact that Max ate it faster than we could shovel it into his mouth. Guess he was ready for solids. It's not too surprising as he has been growing like a weed. He was only 6.3 lbs when he was born and quite a bit on the small side until the last month or so when he had a huge growth spurt. He will be 5 months old in a few days and he is in the middle of the curve for everything except smarts (of course he's in the top % for that-at least according to his mom and dad;-)

Action!

all he's missing is the hat...

happy face

This is the face I have when I wake mommy 10 times during the night. It's a good thing because she does not enjoy it! I'm devilish...
