Time Flies

I have meant to sit down for weeks and update this blog with some 'milestone' information, but time keeps getting away from me.

Before I forget...around 8 months Sam started putting himself into a sitting position (from lying down) and started crawling.  For the past week he's been pulling up on everything.  As his daycare teacher says "he's great at getting up and not so great at getting down."

Julia is as active as ever doing more after school activities than my wallet can handle (thanks maga for taking care of those! ;).  Last week she found out she'll be moving up to the next level in gymnastics.  She also received two mini-stripes on her Tae Kwon Do belt which means after 1 or 2 more she can test for a yellow belt.  She continues with ballet as well.  Luckily soccer is on a hiatus.  We find out about kindergarten & school assignments in the next few weeks.

When I can come back and think of all the wonderful things they've said, I'll add them here.  The only things that occur to me now are how Julia tricked (i.e. lied) to us on Monday and conned Chris into bring her back to his work vs. school after a lunch date and how Sam ended the evening with two to three (depending on who you ask) projectile vomiting episodes.  Good times at our house.  Good times.

Lobster Dog

Conversation the other day after watching Lilo & Stitch

"Mommy, when Bandit dies, can we get a Lobster Dog?"
"What's a Lobster Dog?"
"Oh never mind, maybe it's not a real thing."

According to the Internet, this is what they actually say during the movie:
Nani: We need something that can defend itself. Something that won't die. Something... sturdy... you know?
Lilo: Like a lobster!
Nani: Lilo, Lilolo! Do we have a lobster door? No! We have a dog door! We are getting a dog!
*Note:  Yes, I was appalled that she was inquiring about Bandit's demise!

In other news, Sam is sitting up and crawling backwards.  He wants to jump out of your arms and get on the floor so he can play.  It's only a matter of time until he is crawling all over the place.  He's going to wreak some havoc....bring it on - we're ready kid!
