2 milestones
so on my birthday lily said her first word... at first i thought it was just babbling... "dad" but then she looked directly at seth and nodded as she said "dad" and i brushed it off and later i asked "where's dad?" and she looks at seth and states dad again... so she meant it... then today she got her first tooth on her bottom right. hopefully this means she will start sleeping better again. anyway she is growing up so quickly. she tries harder and harder everyday to crawl. the weather here has been "nice" we had a few days about freezing so about half the snow is melted and our parking lot is a lake. our apt is almost unpacked and the living room and kitchen are clean... so life is good.

reader beware
DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN I AM LEGEND.
so this weekend we went to the theatre for the first time since i was about 7 mos prego and saw i am legend. first i really liked it.. it was way too scary for me ( i had to walk out 3 times to calm down) but there were a few things that bothered me. first robert talks about how the dark seekers have lost all human characteristics... so i therefore expected him to later point out that they were still human and that love or something of the sort would cure them. i felt that when the female dark seeker was captured and the male dark seeker came into the light to see her it was because he loved her... and this is why he continuously leads the attacks on robert ... since she was almost healed when they attacked i thought that they would have been calmed by the fact that he had a cure and stop attacking. also they set a trap which is a a trait of humans. they also huddle together in the dark. the ending in general bugs me... first they shouldn't have gone to the basement... that was the only place that when it turned light the dark seekers would have still stayed there.. this does show that he had no choice but to use the bomb (except the above solution with love invloved) oh and it bugs me that we don't know if his family die or not. anyway i really did enjoy the movie and felt it was well done. tell me if you think i'm wrong or point out more ways they are still human.

so small
lily had a wic appt yesterday and she is 12 lbs 12 ounces and 24 1/2 inches long which puts her under the 5th percentile in weight and the 10th for height... anyway i got distracted and she woke up.. so here are pics of her feeding herself.. she would only eat the food off the spoon so it was really cute. we leave for provo fri to see my sister in law who is recovering from brain surgery.

inspired by ash's post
i am already so frustrated with nursing lily.. in the last 5 days she has spent 3 nights awake from about 2-5... last night from 12-5 just wanting to nurse but not to sleep... the prob is she is going through a phase where she refuses to nurse unless i was in bed with her and that would keep seth up. (hes a light sleeper and she can't hold still or stop "talking" for anything and if he moves she wants to play with him) she also takes about an hr to get her down breastfeeding now and then half the time she wakes up within an hour. we started her on daily solids and it seems her appetite has picked up instead of slowing down. anyway grr... its frustrating. i've considered weaning her but i'd be lost without breastfeeding because that is the only way she will fall asleep. anyway this started out as a comment on ashley's wall and turned really long so here it is now as a blog. question.. ash how do you get blaise to sleep without nursing? you said before that roy puts him down to start the night... how? and to everyone else... lily refuses to leave my arms... and i'm afraid that if it doesnt end soon her development will slow down because she won't try to crawl anymore... she used to but not anymore. any suggestions (this of course all started because of the move and being on the road and then having our apt covered in boxes) anyway random blog..

21 below
yes i mean zero... that was our low last night... now here are a few interesting facts that many of you may not know about temps below zero (ashley read carefully before roys interviews in cold regions)
#1 your nose hairs freeze at zero. (its an odd sensation) but its kinda fun cuz you walk outside and know if its below zero with a few seconds.
#2 it is painful to breathe often resulting in coughing
#3 your doors freeze shut and are hard to open
#4 dead bolts are hard to lock and require both hands and alot of strength
#5 the roads actually get safer... the ice freezes so solid on the roads that it has traction
#6 stores don't blow their parking lots completely so EVERYTHING looks white... well brownish dirty gross white.
#7 bikes don't do well on ice... yes people in rexburg still try to ride bikes to school in january... if you think its funny to see people fall walking you should see it on a bike. (there are places on campus where the sidewalks aren't well heated and have ice and people flock to those spots for some laughs)
#8 no amount of layers keep you warm
#9 did you know that when its really really cold it actually won't snow.. the flakes get smaller and smaller as the temp drops and when its about neg 15 the clouds just give up in frustration.
#10 snow can cut you... when it warms a little and the top layer melts just slightly then it drops again what looks like nice soft snow becomes evil sharp snow... seth found this out the hard way and he has cuts on his face to prove it...
#11 kids will always still want to go outside for a few mins no matter the tempature... even lily
anyway its late and that all i can think of for now... just a few things for ash ;) and to remind katie why she doesn't miss snow. anyone want to make wagers on when we will next have temps above freezing? my guess is the 10th of march... make a guess and i will let you know who is closest.
