He swings both ways...

er, I mean, he rolls both ways! The kids has been a champion tummy to back roller since the ripe old age of 24 days, but now he has crossed the threshold into the realm of back to tummy rolling! Great, one more thing to worry about!! He really got it good late last night, early this morning while trying to get comfortable for bed. He rolled to his side, got a good kick with the leg, and picked up and swung his head, and voila, he was face down. Cool for baby, heart attack for mommy. Nothing like worrying about my little guy rolling into a faceplant in the middle of the night to make a mom rest easy.

Happy Freaking Birthday America!

I am a little late getting this in here, but I wanted to update it for the record. This is my list of things NOT to do on our countries birthday, all of which I learned at my family's 4th of July party.

1. Don't drink to the point where you almost get into a fist fight with your girlfriend's dad.
2. Don't make a scene in front of half your work, you will hear about it on Monday.
3. Don't play with matches and explosives while intoxicated, the results can be less than desired.
4. Don't stuff your face full of food even though it is readily available.
5. On the same note, don't fill your gut with booze just because it is also readily available.
6. Both of the above will most likely result in vomiting.
7. Make sure your bathing suit isn't worn out in the butt before wearing or everyone will be checking out your buttcrack.
8. Adults don't belong on the moonbounce, period.

Next year I might need to forego the family picnic and spend a nice, drama-free day at home. At least it won't involve drunken outbursts, heiney's, and old people boobs flopping on the air-filled bounce fortress.

The Big Chop

Well I did it, I finally took the plunge into the great unknown. I chopped off my hair. Yes I said it, I chopped off my 10 inches of hair and am now rocking a fun new bob. It is definitely different, but in a good way. It's summery, fun, versatile, and most of all, it's easy. As Chase gets older I have found that he tends to grab things and in the last few days of long-hairedness I noticed he was getting more and more interested in giving my tresses a little tug. Fun for Chase, not so much fun for mommy. My solution, a two for one! Cut off my hair to give myself a new look and less for Chase to snatch and a nice donation for Locks of Love! It's a win-win situation. For all of you contemplating whether or not to take a chance with a new cut I suggest a. think about it, don't make a brash decision that you will regret the instant you hear the scissors cut b. talk to your stylist, pick a cut that works for your hair type and texture and c. remember that it is only hair and it will always grow back if you are less than happy with it!
