I am not kidding about this. I&#8217;m actually a bit shocked that one 18 lb. baby can produce this much fluid.<\/li>\n<li>Stephen has a secret project brewing which he will hopefully be finished with and announce sometime today. Geof, it&#8217;s time to duck and cover.<\/li>\n<li>Because of Stephen&#8217;s secret project, I did pretty much zilch this weekend and I had a great time doing it. Stephen&#8217;s story might be slightly different.<\/li>\n<li>Liza&#8217;s sleep is still for crap. Which means my sleep is for crap as well. And no I AM NOT CRABBY about it!<\/li>\n<li>All of Eli&#8217;s stories now involve: Mario, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, star bits, &#8220;Mmmmm, chicken!&#8221; (I told him about us playing that Douglas Adams adventure game from 10 years ago and he thinks roasted chickens coming out of a vending machine in the wall is funny.) and some form of the question, &#8220;Why did Anakin make bad choices and become Darth Vader?&#8221;. I&#8217;m pretty sure that we&#8217;re not going to be able to get him to understand the morality there until he&#8217;s about 12 but we still have the conversation on nearly a daily basis.\n<li>We still haven&#8217;t rescued Christmas photos off of Stephen&#8217;s old laptop, so still no Christmas photos.<\/li>\n<li>Liza has learned how to say, &#8220;DaDa!&#8221; with a sign that I think is the Dad sign but could just as easily be, &#8220;Dada puts me on his head and says, &#8216;Liza Hat!&#8217; and I love that!&#8221; or &#8220;I love me some bald Dada head! It&#8217;s good for licking!&#8221; and &#8220;MaMa!&#8221; which she doesn&#8217;t need the sign for because she just chants it over and over and over and over and over. These are her only spoken words besides &#8220;Pop&#8221; which she chants whenever Stephen&#8217;s dad is around.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of Liza signing, she can now do: more, milk, eat, all done, dad, bath. She recognizes and is trying to make: ball, Eli, water, light. I&#8217;ll be working on next with her: play, please, fruit, music, sleep.<\/li>\n<li>To answer a question from May: There won&#8217;t be any posted photos of Eli&#8217;s birthday at JumpZone! because I didn&#8217;t want to go to the hassle of getting written permission from all the parents to publish photos of their kids on our site. Regardless, the highlight wasn&#8217;t even photographed and I only heard about it yesterday. Apparently, Eli got himself some birthday smoochies from that little red-headed girl, Mackenzie.<\/li>\n<li>Liza has also learned to stand on her own. She usually has to have a toy firmly grasped in both hands to accomplish this but she can do it. She still doesn&#8217;t know what those meaty things are on the ends of her legs, so steps are still a good ways off.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update:<\/strong> Oh, and I totally forgot: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popcap.com\/games\/peggle?s_kwcid=peggle|2255978328&#038;gclid=CJ3HrYfZvJECFQIUPAodLyZwCQ\">Peggle<\/a> is the biggest time suck on the face of the planet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eli still has an ear infection so we will be retuning to the doctor sometime today for more antibiotics.
