5 Random Things

I stole this idea from Danny. I figured I needed to give him a mention since he’s plugged our blog a couple times so in honor of you here are my 5 random things.

1. I have a friend named Danny. He’s really cool. You should check out his blog www.blog-of-danny.blogspot.com

2. Elijah weighed 9lbs 10oz on Saturday which means he’s probably closer to 9lbs 14oz by now. He’s a little chunk. Not really, he’s putting on the average amount of weight. They grow up so fast *tear* He’s starting to outgrow all his newborn clothes. We still try to cram him in them sometimes though.

3. We’ve been watching a ton of movies lately due to the fact that we have a newborn and its winter. Unfortunately we have hit a string of really bad movies. The only one that was any good was the Illusionist. It’s a little different and very clever, you should check it out.

4. I just finished reading Stolen Lives. I’d tell you the author but I don’t remember the name. It’s a true story about a girl who was adopted by the king of Morocco to be his daughter’s playmate. Her real father was a very powerful man in the Moroccan government as well (head of the army) and eventually tried to over throw the king. In retaliation the King kills him and throws his wife and all the children in prison. Including the one that he helped raised. They’re held captive for 20 years before finally set free. It’s an excellent book. Sucks that it’s true.

5. Elijah is still sleeping pretty well at night, WooHoo! Unfortunately it’s only if he’s sleeping on one of us. I’m pretty against co sleeping so I intend to try and correct this soon. It appears that placing him on his stomach to sleep may work, but they recommend “back to sleep” until the baby is 3 months old. Although when he sleeps on us he’s on his stomach.. oh the dilemma. Last time I tried to fix it he didn’t sleep for a week afterwards. I don’t know if one had anything to do with the other, but it’s surely something that concerns me.
