7 Weeks Old

hello......anyone home?



Emme turned 7 weeks old on Monday and we took the opportunity to visit my job and my friends on International Working Women's Day. (The holiday is really on the 8th, but since it was a Sunday it was celebrated Monday.) We had a fun time and then we headed home. We got home to find an awful buzzing sound coming from the furnace/laundry room. It turned out to be the motor for the downstairs heat which was not working. So after a call to the oil company and an argument with them, Paul was able to get the guy out here. He shows up as it was time for Emme to eat and she was not having it. He was arrogant and ended up leaving without doing anything except handing us a bill for driving here because our second zone is not covered by our heat company. How stupid. At least now I know what the problem is and it isn't an emergency. Paul can fix it hopefully this weekend. That night Emme decided she was going to bed at 3am instead of her normal bedtime. She still slept for 8 hours but not the 8 hours I was hoping for.




I don't want to get out!



Tuesday Emme survived her first subway ride. We went to Brooklyn to apply for my Master's plus 30. Basically I get a nice pay raise for having 30 credits past my Master's Degree but since you can't trust the BOE if it gets mailed I had to go in person. We visited Grammy J afterward because I left Tom and Jerry with Smartie and Abbie all day. Later that night Abbie was celebrating her birthday at doggie class so we made Abbie Cadabby treat boxes for the dogs at class. We got cookies for the humans. Emme had a good time at class visiting Poppa Mike and !!!!!! OMG Lauren finally was brave enough to hold Emme. She even got to walk her first course! I figured all this excitement would be enough to make her tired but she ended up not wanting to sleep again until the wee hours of the morning. She got her eight hours but it was exhausting getting her to sleep finally.




Talk to the hand cause I'm not tired



Today we are hanging out at home for most of the day and Paul gets Emme all to himself tonight since Jerry and I have class. Jerry hasn't done much agility since October because 1. I was very pregnant and 2. He needed to "mature" a bit. Hopefully this time off has helped him and he will be able to put sequencing and speed together and hopefully Emme will not drive her Daddy crazy.
Jerry is so silly

Visit to Work


Today Emme and I visited my job and saw all the teachers. Unfortunately I was not permitted to visit with my students but we had a good time anyway. Emme was so good all day but now she is up past her bedtime with sleep no where in sight. I will be waking her up though early to nip this late night partying. That is if we ever get to sleep!

A Sunday Stroll


Today Paul and I packed up Emme, Tom & Jerry and took a nice walk on the bike path near our house. Emme fell asleep almost immediately but woke up just before we got back to the car. Then on the way home we visited my neighbor who has three girls (age 9, 6, and 4) who are completely smitten with Emme. They had so much fun holding her, feeding her, burping her and even helping to change her. They wanted to keep her! She is pretty exhausted and cranky now but hopefully all the nice fresh air and bath time will get her to sleep early tonight.





Quack Quack Quack


This kid sure loves the bathtub. Every night is a bath night! Even when it isn't bath time I console her screaming fits with running water. Even when the humidifier is on it keeps her sleeping longer then when it is off. She is just like Smartie. Let Smartie off a leash and she will swim in a puddle. We are going to have to keep a close eye on the two of them.

One minute I was watching American Idol and the next I was taking a siesta....



Taking a snooze in my car seat....like my cute miniskirt!
