Random Friday

I don’t have enough of a well-formed idea for a full post today, so I thought I’d go all random on ya.

• Thank you for all the love yesterday! 20 comments! Nice! Oh, and Carrie gets a prize for being no. 10 (because she asked so nicely). So, everyone go and visit her blog and tell her how adorable her boys are. Because they are beyond cute.
• To the first-time commenters – welcome! It’s nice to “meet” you. A bonus from those comments is that I got to add a few new blogs to my list. Yes, I read them all. And you wonder why one of my resolutions is to spend more time with my kids instead of just writing about them.
• We had a playgroup this morning with some of the moms and babies from my new mom group. How crazy that they’re all almost six months old now! Back in September we were all so new and they were all so tiny… no longer. It was very fun to see them all, and to have an outing on this rainy, chilly day.
• Daniel sat unassisted today! At said playgroup, I was supporting him as he sat in front of me. Took my hands away, and he stayed there for a good 15 seconds! Not bad! Then he kind of tipped and folded in half, but he’ll get the hang of it in no time. Rebecca doesn’t have much interest in such things.
• I had a rather hilarious audience as I ate my lunch today. We had just gotten home, and the kiddos were happy enough in their carseats as long as I was chatting with them, so I sat and ate some lunch while they were contentedly confined. They both just stared at me, mouths agape. I think maybe they’re ready to think about solids? Oh, and the dog sat and stared, too, hoping I’d drop something. Not this time… Long story short: I think it’s time to get ready for new adventures in food.
• If Rebecca could have a single nap longer than 45 minutes soon, I’d really appreciate it. I mean, she’s obscenely cute and full of smiles when she wakes up, but somehow that breaks down around 5pm. And that’s not cool.

Back later with something real to say, I promise.
