meaty update

It looks like the new year is starting off slow on the blogging front.  Truth is, I can't figure out what's sucking up all my time (well... other than the two kids, that is).  I do know that day in and day out I can't seem to get anything accomplished.  Here's an example - the laundry basket has been sitting on a table downstairs full of clean, dry and folded towels for two days now.  I pass by it several times a day but my hands are always full of something else, or I'm on my way to do another chore.  Oh... and our dishwasher has been broken for the past two weeks.  It really sucks.  I often joke with friends about being busy doing nothing and that about sums it up.  When we do have the energy to get together with friends socially, (aka no kids) we have fun.  Thanks for the good times friends.  You know who you are.  :)

So... as usual, someone is about to wake up imminently so here's the meaty update: 

Miss Ruby

• She's growing up daily.  
• She's getting smarter daily and I can't help but to be so proud of her I want to explode.  
• Still doesn't like it when I try to put a ponytail or clip in her hair but sometimes I win.  
• Has turned against using the potty (even for M&M's) and challenges getting her diaper changed.  
• Wants to get dressed and undressed "all by herself".  
• Is very affectionate and has started hugging her friends when it's time to go home.  So cute. 
• Stopped saying the 'naughty word' but sometimes tells people "I don't say ______".
• I can't figure out if she's getting her 2-year molars because she won't open her mouth to let me see. 
• Loves, loves, loves playing outside in the snow.  
• Loves, loves, loves being pulled in her sleigh.  If I can't make it to the gym I know I'll get a workout pulling her around because she won't let me walk.  "Run, Mommy, run!!!!"  
• Can spell her name!  

Mr. Leo

• He's still trying to figure out sleep.  The longest stretch we've had is 5 hours straight.  (twice).  
• He's still a very mellow guy.  The girl who snags him will be very lucky.  
• Loves watching Ruby do anything at all.  
• I think he'll be getting teeth soon.  There's A LOT of drool.  
• Said drool is taking a toll on his cute little face.  It's all rashy around his mouth... poor guy.
• Loves being tickled.  
• Has the cutest giggle in town.  

That's about all for now.  

The days are getting longer already so maybe the extra light will energize me or something like that and I'll get to blogging more often.  Or, maybe not.  :)

Later dudes.
