Not much new has been going on. I’ve been battling Travis about naps. He doesn’t seem to want to take them. I know I personally would love to take a nap…I don’t know what the problem is. This week we started Travis on peas. So far he’s eaten brown rice, acorn squash, sweet potatoes, and bananas. He seemed to really like the peas so that was promising. I don’t know why anyone would want to start their baby on solids sooner than now. It’s so much easier just to pop the boob in and be done with it. I’m enjoying making the food for him though so that’s kind of fun and I guess it’s sort of fun to see his reaction to different foods. I’ve started giving him baby food puffs as well. He gums away on them. They’re pretty tasty! I would eat these as a snack myself.
We bought a new laptop last night. The hard drive on our old one finally bit the dust after threatening to for about a month. This new one will be good enough for us to play our games on. This will be good when I get my wisdom teeth out in a couple of weeks. Here’s a piece of advice for you…get your wisdom teeth out as soon as your dentist tells you to. Even if, like me, your dentist doesn’t tell you to, do it anyway. The oral surgeon (yikes…scary saying that) says there’s a 30% chance that I will have permanent nerve damage in my jaw from getting my wisdom teeth out at my age (all of 32!). That plus the insurance company has to have special proof that you “really” need your teeth out and then they take their sweet time in approving it…blah blah blah. I should have had this procedure done back in August, but I couldn’t because of the stupid insurance company.
In other news, I’m learning how to be a gramma…
…by teaching myself how to knit! I figure why shell out close to $100 for a pair of wool pants for my baby boy, when I’m perfectly capable of making them myself with a little a lot of practice? Plus my family will have a life time supply of hats and scarfs when I’m done.
It’s so not gramma-like though! There’s a ton of people “my age” that are doing this sort of thing. It’s actually fun. I found myself thinking about knitting while I was playing LOTRO earlier this evening….weird huh? The web site I was looking at to figure all of this out was instrumental in my pseudo success.
Here are a few pics…

I’m now working on a washcloth (it’s not quite finished…yeah I’m that slow) and after that I’m going to make a scarf for Elyse. It might be done by the time the weather gets warm again…we’ll see.
My husband was playing around with our pictures the other day and this is the result.
Don’t they look like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza?
