Ellen's Melon

Man these kids are crazy. Mara is non-stop. She's got guts man. She'll climb up anything. She'll fall off the couch, the bed, the chairs, the coffee table. Maybe wimper a little, and right back at it. She's learning words all the time. Like when you ask her what her Mommy says, she says "Nag, Nag, Nag." I'm gonna get her a trike this weekend. Mommy won't be here to stop me.




Ellen is an absolute peach. She is eating a ton and sleeping through the night religiously now. She is definitely one of those babies, that if she's on track, great. If not, look out. Dr. Jeckyl / Mr. Hyde syndrome. She went back to the doctor Tuesday to get her head measured. They said the size of her head is off the charts. So I say, "Well, my head is big. My dad's head is big, his dad's head was big." So then the Dr. breaks out the graphs. Her head is big even for people whose families have big heads. So now we gotta go back for a CAT scan. Nothing really to worry about, just precautionary.

So as forementioned, Stacey is leaving for the weekend to see her friend Becky. She is really looking forward to getting away. I however, am scared shitless. I don't know how I'm going to handle two nights alone with the girls. I'm sure we'll make it just fine, but, I'll let you know.
