This week's update is brought to you by the letter M, as in MINE. This is Jocelyn's new favorite word, typically used in the sentence "NO, THAT'S MINE". She also says "MY bear, MY cup" etc.
She can't say Baa Baa Black Sheep for some reason and just says Baa Baa Sheep - which happens to be her favorite song. She also can't say Pinky Dinky Doo and says Pinky Pinky Doo instead, which is her favorite TV show and the only one she really watches (like the-TV-is-made-of-crack watches).
In other news - Jesse gained another 9 ounces and is now over 16lbs (in fact closer to 16 1/2)! Go Jesse! He's started eating foods without blending like peas and steamed carrots (cut in slices of course) and cheerios and such. Being the negligent mom that I am, I gave him a cookie this week (the soft & chewy chipas ahoy). It was a big hit.
I guess it's been a while since the <ticka ticka ticka> pump report - so here you go. To recap, at 6 months I switched from 4 pumps a day to 3. Despite that, the freezer still hold 286 ounces, and would be more but I had to toss 8oz of cubes because I forgot about them and they went bad. It's down from it's high of 308oz, but not by much! Things look good for going to 2 pumps a day after vacation.
Jesse's gotten quite good at sitting and yesterday he managed to scoot himself forward instead of backward, so that was exciting! His sleep is 9pm to 4am about 5 nights a week and barely any sleep the other 2 nights. He likes to mix it up as to which nights are which.
His naps have left a bit to be desired lately and I wonder if he's maybe going to get a tooth one of these days.
Today was our quarterly sister brunch in Sturbridge - this time sans babies. It's always so fun to hang out and eat too much. Everyone is going to meet down here in 2 weeks and we're going to let the men go out sans babies. Josh was saying it's been 2 years since he golfed - gasp - so I figured maybe just this once.
On the subject of eating too much - I made it over the 30lb mark for weight loss and am now officially back to my lowest weight prior to getting pregnant (which I was at for about 5 seconds last Feb before I got pregnant). This week I ran 5 miles on Wednesday and Saturday. The other days I usually do either a short run or some kind of workout video. When I do the videos, Timothy sometimes joins me, and when Timothy joins me, well Jocelyn doesn't want to be left out. This week Josh got a picture of it - so I added it to the bottom of the July Picture Page.
Josh and his brother have been trying to work on the garden and get some mulch put down. We've sort of let it go and it's slow going but progress is being made.
Morgan had a good week at school and now that he's not eating his lunch for breakfast (after having breakfast at home) and then school lunch at lunch, he's slowly getting less bulky. He's still a big boy! But that's ok. He wanted an "up hug" the other day so I picked him up and yikes - I need to do more weight training!
Timothy had a friend over a couple times this week and they kept entertained playing Wii. Josh said he only heard from them when they wanted a popsicle.
Morgan's birthday is Friday and I'm taking the day off. Susan and Jonathan are coming for the weekend and then they and Joey and Josh and Timothy are going to NY on Sunday to see a baseball game. Mom and Dad are going to come here Sunday and keep me and the rest of the kids company.
