1. The following conversation I had with Henry Saturday evening:
henry: What's the story with the pancake situation?
me: What?
henry: The pancake situation...
me: As in the pancakes we had for breakfast?
henry: Yup.
me: We finished eating them. At breakfast. Hours ago.
henry: Oh. Good.

"Pancake situation"? The kid's talking more and more like his mom everyday. Scary.

2. Listening to Holly grunt and groan in the wee hours of the morning, trying to get some gas out. Every time she toots or poops I want to stand up and cheer because she's putting in such a man-sized effort.

3. The fact that, despite the wee-hours-in-the-morning grunting sessions, she's a pretty good sleeper. Granted, we've been working really hard at getting her to be a good sleeper, I think she also brings a certain laid-back attitude to the mix. I'm better rested now with an almost one-month-old than I was during my last month of pregnancy. Not shabby. And not at all like it was with Henry. I'm totally grateful over here. Now if only I could get Dave to go to bed at a decent hour...

4. We got a drawing in the mail on Saturday that features a little girl holding an umbrella. Holly's name is worked into the picture (ie. "Holly" is written in the shape of the umbrella, her middle name is the little girl's arm, and her last name makes up her dress), and it also has her birth date, weight, and height. It's absolutely adorable. We also have no idea who sent it to us. We don't recognize the name on the return address, nor do either of our sets of parents. Intrigue! So if it was you, tell us. Google was surprisingly unhelpful.

5. All of the meals we've been getting from people in our playgroup. It's such an enormous help. We're really feeling the love over here.

6. Dave put this up on his status bar on Facebook last Friday and as of yesterday I was still laughing about it: "Dave while sleep deprived and lecturing at 8am, said 'elephants' when he meant 'elements'." Actually, I can say that as of right now I'm still laughing about it.
