M.I.A.

Apologies to my 2 faithful readers out there. Things have been a bit crazy around here and honestly I feel like my little mundane life is hardly worthy of a blog and I hate to bore you with our day to day adventures. But I'm going to do it anyway. So here's a run-down of what's been happening up in here:
1. We celebrated 4 months of life outside the womb with C yesterday. And by celebrate, I mean did nothing out of the ordinary. I snapped a few 4 month shots with his little sticker on his muscle tee but that's about it.
2. For the past 3 days, C has been falling asleep in the car. Take a moment and re-read that sentence. Great, let's continue. My car is leaking coolant so it's outta commish because it threatened to blow up when I drove it last week. In the meantime, my mom's been kind enough to loan her Prius. Evidently we now need to buy a Prius (you know I'm only partly joking because I will buy anything that claims to make my child even slightly less HM...yes, he's still HM) because he's been falling asleep when I drive home from my parents house. Now, this is mostly because he's been up for like 3 hours which is his max these days and he's about to pass out but whatev, he used to spit on cars and give them the stink eye and think they were for the birds so we'll take it.
3. The Ferber method is in full-swing around here (again). And by full-swing, I obviously mean half-swing. He still wakes up around the 3:00a.m. hour crying for his paci/some comfort I guess so we used to run into his room and stick the cork in his mouth and he'd go back to sleep. But we don't want him to get used to us running in after 2.5 secs of crying....so we (I) am starting to let him cry but he doesn't fall right back to sleep and at 3:00 a.m. I do want to fall right back to sleep so I've been sticking the cork in and going back to sleep. Meh. We've (I've) also started phasing the swaddle out (yes we still swaddle). I don't swaddle during naps in the day but we still do at night. We can try an all night unswaddle during the weekend when B can get up and help. ALSO I've tried a couple times just laying him in his crib for a nap while he's awake. This doesn't work so well yet. Typically we bounce him on the orange ball until he's asleep but again, we don't want him to get used to being bounced for the rest of his life. I'm sure his future wife would really appreciate me living with them and bouncing my 30 year old son to sleep on an exercise ball.
4. I've been trying to learn the ropes of Adobe Photoshop for editing pics if I'm going to get this photog biz off the ground. Which I need to do like STAT but I'm nervy. Satan has been telling me I'm inadequate and that I won't be any good at taking pics and editing them. And lately I've been believing the lies as truths so I'm feeling pretty defeated.
5. And because I don't want to end this post on a pooptastic note, here's something postive: C is so close to rolling from back to belly I almost just have to blow on him to roll him the rest of the way.
Pics from our little photo sesh yesterday that I poorly tried to edit:
Actually, I don't feel like uploading them, sorry. Check them out on facebook if you feel so inclined. I'm tired.
