Words. Rolling. Birthday.

Maggie rolls from back to tummy now.  Yay!  And let me tell you, girl does NOT stay on her back okay?  The moment I put her down on her back, by the time I turn around, she's on her tummy.  She's trying to move.  I think she wants to play with her big brother.  I should enjoy this while it lasts, because I have a feeling in a year the love and happiness between them is going to be replaced with whining, crying, and yelling.

PJ.  That kid learns a new word every day I swear.  Grandma, duck, stuck, uck, ick, not to mention all the other words he's saying that we can't understand yet.  Did I mention my happiness will be two in LESS THAN ONE MONTH??? DID I?  Well he is.  Shrek invites ready to be mailed on Monday.  Cake ordered. It's insane.  He's been having nightmares so almost every night for the last 3 hours of the sleepytime he's in our bed.  Which on one hand works out because then I don't have to worry about Mags waking him up, then trying to deal with both of them and get them back to sleep.  We did order him a BCM though so this weekend we're going to try to keep him in his bed.  Though I do love when he cuddles with me. :)

We're going to dinner Tuesday at Ruth's Chris to celebrate what would have been Pop's 57th birthday.  A big crew of us going -- about 15.  We are actually taking the kiddies because the wonderful people at Ruth's gave us a private room.  So if PJ starts throwing goldfish, at least he'll only be hitting family.  I'm making a little keepsake for John, Jenny and Aly that hopefully I will have some time to do when Johnny boy isn't around.

Sidebar.  I love quotes.  I have a quote book I bought my senior year of high school, and went through and highlighted all the quotes I loved.  In college, I'd write a different one on my dry erase board every day.  I recently discovered this book again, and decided I will post a daily quote on my blog -- even if I post nothing else, there will be a quote.  So today's quote is one of my all time favorites.

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."   - Anonymous.

Go be the world to that person.

4 months old!

My little Maggie is four months old today.  A third of a year.  She's going to be eating cereal and Stage 1 baby food real soon.  We took out the little pillow for head that was in her car seat.  We have to move the straps up to the next level.   She's turning into a big girl.

Last night was night one of the baby crack machine.  And well, folks, Miss Maggie slept from 7:15 till 3 a.m., when she woke to eat, and then slept till mommy woke her up today.  So we are 1 for 1 on BCM (baby crack machine).  PJ LOVES the thing -- it has a projector option, and he just thought it was the awesomeest thing ever...too bad we never got one for him, but still he's pretty much asleep already when he gets in his room, so oh well.

It is fucking freezing in Chicago today.  We're talking -7 without the wind chill.  Hasn't been this cold in awhile.  In other news, it's supposed to be in the high 30s this weekend, which is good since we have a wedding on Saturday and since I am an anti-nylon wearing kind of gal, my legs will be bare.  I am looking forward to the wedding, it will be nice to be out and having a good time with some good friends, and oh, of course, my husband. ;)

My children are so thoughtful, they sent their grandmas Valentine's Day cards.  They really are very thoughtful kids. :)  Grandma Cheryl called me last night to thank me for them -- funny she didnt' call her son. :)
