Sloan @ 4 months
Sloan is growing so fast! He was 4 months old December 19th. He now eating rice cereal twice a day in addition to formula. I'll start him on green and yellow vegetables in a couple of weeks.He's a good baby. Really only cries if something is bothering him or he is hungry. He's already had 2 ear infections - poor thing. He may need to have ear tubes at some point.

Trilby's Visit
Trilby came for a visit this weekend. We all had a great time! By tonight (Sunday), Bryce was exhausted. I think he fell asleep while his Dad read to him at bedtime...
Halloween 2006
Can you believe it? A new post and a family picture! Bryce is 4 yrs. + 2 months and Sloan is now 10 weeks old. He's finally sleeping for longer stretches; unfortunately not the same hours we sleep at night. Oh well, I don't feel nearly as sleep-deprived these days.

Bryce and Sloan
Here is a picture of Bryce meeting his brother Sloan for the first time...Interesting fact: Sloan was born on Bryce's 4th birthday! They are exactly 4 years apart. How often does that happen?
Fortunately, we had Bryce's birthday party the Saturday before and only because "My Gym" was booked on the 19th. Funny how it all worked out.
Bryce is very excited that he's now a big brother and asks lots of questions about Sloan.

Happy Easter!
It has been ages since I have posted on our blog. (I'm not even sure anyone even reads it anymore) I meant to post sooner, but so much is going on right now. On Jan. 1st, we found out we are expecting our 2nd! My due date is Sept 10. I'll have the big ultrasound that could possibly determine the sex of the baby in about a week and 1/2. Also, we are selling our house in town and moving to the 'burbs. Gotta have more space!Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoyed beautiful Spring weather!

'Jump the Couch' is the Slang of the Year
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- When Tom Cruise celebrated his new-found love by cavorting on Oprah's sofa like a deranged monkey, he did more than just become fodder for late-night comedians. He also unwittingly spawned a new phrase -- "jump the couch," meaning "to exhibit strange or frenetic behavior." After scouring the soft white underbelly of the English language, from bathroom walls to the Internet, the editors of the Historical Dictionary of American Slang have chosen "jump the couch" as the Slang of the Year for 2005.
"Jump the couch" began popping up just a few weeks after Cruise excitedly professed his love for new flame Katie Holmes by leaping onto the guest couch during the May 23, 2005 Oprah Winfrey Show. The phrase has since appeared in The New York Times, The Dallas Morning News, and innumerable blogs around the world.
The term builds on the older slang term "jump the shark," meaning, "to diminish in quality; to outlast public interest or popular support." To "jump the shark" stems from an episode of the 70s TV show Happy Days, in which uber-cool Fonzie flies over a shark on water-skis.
"A new slang term was obviously needed to describe this behavior. Jumping up and down on Oprah's couch, in front of millions, is truly bizarre," noted Grant Barrett, project editor of the Historical Dictionary of American Slang.
