In case you haven't heard...

As you may have noticed, I'm not so good with the blogging. Maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll get worse. Accept it and move on.

I realized that I've had a major life change since the last blog. I'm now officially a baby lawyer. That's right folks, I'm now licenced to be in charge of your legal future... bring it on!

I'm actually very excited. Things have been going well. I've already made one courtroom appearance and have another next week.

J,J, and D are all baby lawyers as well... we went 4 for 4 on passing the bar the first try... Hooray!

Us, Minus one J and plus A

Avery Update

Today was Avery's 6 month check up/shots (boo). She is 15lbs 3oz which puts her in the 32% of weight and is 29 inches long which puts her off the charts on height (99%).

It was a little chilly in the am, so she got to wear her jean jacket. It's a 0-3 month size and still swallows her whole. Well, except for the sleeves

She's also in love with my phone. (Prediction? I hope not) Here, she has my phone in one hand, and her bottle in the other. I just snapped the picture, didn't even have to aim. She's better at self-portriats than I am, and I use two hands.

We had to wait an ungodly amount of time in the actual room today, so things got a little out of hand. She really enjoys the way paper crinkling sounds. This picture was taken before I put her back on the table and she then managed to tear a hole in the paper and stick her foot through it. For Christmas, Avery would like 16 tons of tissue paper.

Gimmie Nuggies!

How can the students at Cincinnati University NOT crave chic-fil-a every day of their lives with a logo like this?

Avery loves the Olympics

Avery was getting really excited about the Olympics this evening. She straightened out her arms and legs and made hyperventilating sounds. It was quite amusing. However, Avery is still camera shy, so I have to try and sneak attack her with the camera because she freezes when she sees the camera. Also, the video was taken with our digi cam, not the video cam, so the resolution isn't that great... but here ya go!

I'm with him...

In staying with RG's latest post, I've decided to blow off some steam and make a list as well. These are in no particular order.

10 Things that Irritate Me

1. The fact that David Letterman insists on wearing white socks with dark suits and black shoes. Doesn't the man have a stylist? Shouldn't he be one of the LAST people to be committing this crime against fashion?

2. People who think they are more important than they really are. Seriously, get over yourself.

3. People who don't return their carts to the "cart corral" at supermarkets, and decide instead to leave the carts next to their (read: my) car. An extra 20 steps isn't going to kill you.

4. That my burrito from taco bell never looks like the burrito in the commercials. Instead, my burrito most closely resembles a wadded up sock at the bottom of a laundry hamper with taco sauce and cheese oozing out the sides and soaking through the wrapper.

5. People thinking that "taking the bar" is synonymous with "passing the bar". I already feel like I failed, but your added pressure of "Oh, I'm sure you passed" makes me feel like a SUPER LOSER when I don't pass.

6. Predictive text on the IPhone. Slang is IMPOSSIBLE.

7. My incurable addiction to Sonic Raspberry Sweet Tea.

8. Trying to find a parking meter downtown within 10 blocks of the courthouse.

9. People in the "right turn lane only" lane by our house that insist on trying to go straight in that lane. I guess they assume that because the paint is wearing off that the rule no longer applies.

10. Whistling

Holy *ding*!!

Why do RG and I find this so funny??

Because RG and HG are great at being awsome!!

So, RG and I discovered that our brilliant Chihuahua knows some more tricks...

After RG said, "Hello" and realized that elicited a bark from Chimi every time he said it (out of like, 10 times)... we proceeded to see what other words made Chimi speak as well.

After 15 minutes and a good 60 words later, we found that "Spaghetti Sauce" gets TWO barks!

So we tried alternating Hello with Spaghetti Sauce and we got a respective one and two barks each time...

This we found to be quite amusing and we were both laughing hysterically for a good 10 minutes. If you are our friends, expect this trick to become a regular fixture in Chimi's repertoire.



(I know you are all living vicariously... Don't be jealous of my incredibly exciting life!)

A new low...

Today, I wore Ryan's clothes....

.... to work.


This pregnancy business is starting to get old.

Quick update!

So, I'm bad at blogging apparently... actually, I'm just really lazy. I'm in the middle of finals, so I decided it was a great time to blog! I'd rather do anything than memorize the tax code... BLAH. Here's a bulleted list of new news because, well, I'm too lazy for detail.

• Baby Glaze is a GIRL!! At first, I thought it might be a girl... I don't really know why... but then someone said they thought I was having a boy, so I got stuck on boy. So, I was actually kind of surprised when they said girl!

• We're pretty sure it's a girl. From the angle on the ultrasound (to quote Ryan) there wasn't really any place to hide the frank and beans.

• I'm in the middle of finals, so maybe there will be a more informative/humorous post in late December... You can hope anyway.
  

It's baby Avery!

And she's got nothing to hide!
