Internet At Last!

After living in our new house for the past 4 months, we finally have internet and cable!  We have had internet on our phones through our data plans, so we haven’t been completely unplugged, but I realized just how careful I had to be in keeping track of my data usage and trying (not always successfully) to not go over my limits.  But Comcast has finally laid the cable in our neighborhood and we couldn’t be more excited!  They haven’t buried all the lines yet, so there are nice big cables running through our yard, but I don’t even care because I can actually use my computer again, watch netflix and hulu again, and we even splurged and paid 10 extra dollars for some basic cable.  No more library dvd rentals for us!  If Rob and I gain 15 lbs in the next week or 2 its because we are sitting on our butts catching up on our favorite shows (Parks and Recreation, The Office, 30 Rock, Community, Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy—this one is all me), and I’ve even started branching out and trying new shows like Terra Nova, and Mad Men.  Any other suggestions? 

In other news, Bobby is growing up so fast!  He is crawling everywhere (mostly commando crawling, but he’s just starting to get up on his knees more often), pulling up to everything and climbing the stairs!  He still puts everything in his mouth.  I have to watch him like a hawk!   He also eats like a horse.  He will scream if he sees food that is not in his hands or his mouth and I don’t think he ever gets full.  But he’s not a huge kid.  He’s heavy, but more like solid heavy, not chunky or big.  He is absolutely a mamma’s boy.  He can say a few sounds, but no real words yet.  And he LOVES cords!  He will find them, no matter how well we hide them.  If there is something plugged in in the same room as Bobby, he will race for the cord as soon as he gets in the room.  And when I tell him “No” he just looks back at me, smiles, and then turns around and laughs and squeals as he crawls as fast as he can toward the cord.  He’s at such a cute age, but very tiring for me!

Adeline has transitioned to a toddler bed and does great in it at night.  However, she has stopped taking afternoon naps, and instead, plays in her room.  Luckily, she will play quietly and happily in there by herself for 2-3 hours (don’t worry, I go in a check on her every now and then), so I still get a nice break during the day.  But it also means that she is ready for bed by 6 pm and that’s when Rob gets home, so she’s usually pretty grumpy by the time he is home.  She talks like crazy at home (I can’t believe how big her vocabulary is getting), but is very shy in public.  She’s a loner and doesn’t really like to play with other kids, but loves to play with adults.  She is excited for Halloween, but really has no clue how much she is going to love it.  I can’t wait to get her and Bobby all dressed up.  They are going to be too cute!  Of course, I will post pictures afterwards!  Maybe I’ll even get the posted before Christmas now that I don’t have the excuse of no internet!
