I love this picture sequence

Thinking about it.

Making sure we're watching.

Seeing how far he'll get with it.

But I wish I'd gotten the last one. It would have shown Firdosh's hand catching the bowl as Jehan attempted to throw it. This is the reason we need laminate flooring.

I'm excited to see Twilight...

But I'm afraid it's really going to suck. I've seen a couple trailers and they look a little lame, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But now after listening to the Rob Pattinson songs on iTunes (here's amazon), I'm really worried. I mean, his voice is all nasal and annoying and it was a really bad call for them to have him sing. Makes me worry about other decisions they had to make. Oh well, if my expectations are low enough, maybe I won't be disappointed.

What does spit up taste like?

So I had Jehan standing on my stomach yesterday after he woke up from a nap and he spit up. Not just regular spit up but the projectile kind. I very narrowly avoided finding out what regurgitated milk, rice, and carrot tastes like a couple of hours into digestion. Luckily my mouth was closed but it got all over my face and the front of my shirt, and for lovely imagery, it ran around to the back of my neck and got in my hair and all over the sheets to boot. Lovely.

About Me

1. What is your occupation right now? Mom, aka diaper-changing-cow
2. What color are your socks right now? White. As boring as it gets.
3. What are you listening to right now? CNN's Situaton Room
4. What was the last thing that you ate? I'm eating a peanut butter granola bar.
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes, and I miss it.
6. Last person you spoke to on the phone? Firdosh, of course.
7. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Well, Candice didn't exactly send it to me, but I got it from her blog and of course I love Candice :)
8. How old are you today? 26! I can't believe I'm so old. Seems like only yesterday I was 20.
9. What is your favorite sport to watch on TV? I don't like watching sports, especially football and worst of all basketball. That's 'cuz it's all Firdosh does when he comes home during their seasons.
10. What is your favorite drink? Anything with alcohol. It's been so long.... On the other hand I probably wouldn't like it anymore as it's something of an acquired taste. A copper camel sounds nice though.
11. Have you ever dyed your hair? For a little while. My hair doesn't have much color so it needs a little help.
12. Favorite food? Too many to count. Probably lasagna right now, but I also love anything chocolate! Both things on the 'restricted' list for another year :(
13. What is the last movie you watched? Iron Man, Firdosh even stayed awake for the whole thing!
14. Favorite day of the year? Still probably Christmas or New Year's, even though I hate the cold.
15. How do you vent anger? I cry too :)
16. What was your favorite toy as a child? I really don't remember many toys. I remember spending lots of time outside and jumping on furniture.
17. What is your favorite season? Warm
18. Cherries or Blueberries? Fresh cherries are #1 but blueberry waffles/pancakes/syrup/jam/yogurt are my favorite.
19. Do you want your friends to e-mail you back? Would be interesting to read, but whatever.
20. Who is the most likely to respond? No clue
21. Who is least likely to respond? I'd be surprised if anyone does really.
22. Living arrangements? I live with my husband Firdosh and my baby Jehan and my dog Ally in our house in Kaysville.
23. Last time you cried? I shed a couple tears on Tuesday, but I really haven't cried since the barrage following Jehan being born. Goes to show that most of my crying was the result of hormones, which I definitely suspected before but am now absolutely certain. Even things I think should make me cry don't get a single tear.
24. What is on the floor of your bedroom? Parts to Jehan's pack-n-play, assorted clothes, Ally's bed.
25. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending to? Depends who reads this, probably Stephanie.
26. What did you do last night? I have to think about it. I made dinner, put Jehan to bed, blogged, and went to bed
27. What are you most afraid of? I have an irrational fear of people I love dying. It's worst with Jehan since he's my responsibility and he can't talk. I'm affraid he'll get sick or something and I won't notice soon enough and by the time we figure it out it'll be too late.
28. Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburgers? cheese and spicy!
29. Favorite dog breed? Rhodesian ridgeback of course.
30. Favorite day of the week? Saturday followed closely by Sunday. Firdosh is home!
31. How many states have you lived in? two, but I don't remember California
32. Diamonds or pearls? Love diamonds, don't much care for pearls. However, I wouldn't wear either.
33. What is your favorite flower? I'm boring. Roses and daisies. Basically the flowers at our wedding.



Woohoo, I think I beat Courtney!

How can I be this tired?

I slept fairly well last night, Jehan only woke up once. I also took both his naps with him and I didn't want to wake up when he did either time. Now I can barely keep my eyes open. How did I ever have the motivation to pull all-nighters? It was another life.

Jehan rolled over!

Jehan has finally rolled over. It's about time!

Hopefully turning a page

So after weeks of trying to get Jehan on something resembling a schedule with regular sleeping and eating times that only seemed to be increasing the chaos, Jehan has now spent 1.5 days following the intended schedule to a T. I wasn't expecting perfection, just something more regular. His sleeping schedule was getting out of control and sometimes his nursing schedule as well. Some days he go to bed by 8:30 and some days he would be up until midnight or later. Naps were chaos, lasting anywhere from ten minute to 3.5 hours and he usuall took three naps, but some days he would take up to eight. Some days he would go three or four hours between nursing and some days he wanted to nurse every half hour. I was really starting to lose my mind. Since night before last, he has gone to bed by nine, taken 1.5-hour naps at exactly 10:00, 2:00, and his half-hour nap at 5:30. Of course, now that I've written this he'll never follow it again.

Finally

someone I voted for won the election.

Jehan's Halloween Costume B

He was a cow in the morning at Firdosh's work and a shark in the evening. We somehow failed to take our own pics so here is one from Aubree whose baby Spencer is the cute little penguin.

What Jehan thinks of Mom's new schedule

Or rather what Jehan thinks of the schedule Mom is trying to make him follow. Isn't working so far.

Does this come in gallon sizes?

I used to fill this up every six months or so. Now that I'm cooking every day it seems like I fill it up every couple of weeks. No wonder I can't lose weight!

NaBloPoMo

So I'm going to give NaBloPoMo a try. Sorry to everyone for the boring posts. I expect they'll usually just be a pic of Jehan.
