So I've decided I need to update this thing a little more often, especially when it comes to baby updates. Yes, this blog is now a baby blog. You are allowed this one opportunity to point-and-laugh. I've turned into a woman.
Ok no more laughing.
Seriously, cut it out.
Need another reason I've turned into a woman? I very nearly just spelled "cut" as "cute." Is Desperate Housewives on? I can't wait to see what Bree bakes next!
Baby Update
Bean (as I will be referring to the baby from here on out) has recently figured out what bedtime really is. Her bedtime is usually between 8-8:30pm, and whenever I start carrying her upstairs to a darkened room, I can feel her start to tense up a little bit. We'll make it into the bedroom just fine... but once I sit down in the rocking chair she starts crying. It's even worse if I try to lay her down on the bed. It usually takes about 10 minutes to finally get her to calm down enough to think about falling asleep, and another 5-10 to actually make it to Sleepsville. Thankfully, putting her down in the crib has gotten to be relatively easy. For about a month, I had to be extremely careful in lying her down. She would wake up at the smallest shift in her weight or positioning of limbs. This was made even more difficult due to her refusal to sleep on her back. For the first 4 months of her life, she slept in her car seat, which has about a 20-degree incline. She'd be all bunched up in there, her legs and arms squished together like she was back in the womb. Because of how she looked when she slept like this, we started calling her "Bean". I like it as a nickname. Whenever I get home from work, I call out "Hi Bean!" or "Howdy Beanie!" and I get huge smiles. Smiling 5 month olds are awesome.
Game Update
Got Resident Evil 5 from Gamefly. Pretty good action game. It's not scary or suspenseful, which is a bit of a bummer considering how big of a part those two emotions were in the original Resident Evil games. But this game isn't trying to be those, so it is okay. I've almost completed the story mode, and so far I'd give it a solid B. A quick note to the makers of RE: enough with the leeches. I'm tired of them. They're not scary- just annoying. Leechmen do nothing for me.
