...hopping down the bunny trail

well, hi! we've been busy these past few days. let's debrief, shall we?

sunday: we got up, finished packing and got everything and everyone loaded up in the car, and headed to church. we enjoyed the annual easter breakfast, although i had to bolt my food in order to get to bell choir rehearsal in time. so, bell choir rehearsal, then regular choir rehearsal, then the service. all went well. afterwards, i fed ian, and then we got on the road, although we did need to stop back home because i forgot a couple of things. got up to kimberly, and relaxed the rest of the day. ian was pretty sick with a cold, so he was miserable and didn't sleep well, so that was BAD. bad, bad night. around 4 in the morning, i decided that we would go home monday night instead of tuesday morning, because there was no way i could handle another night like that.

monday: brian was awesome and let me sleep for a while. got up, and we just pretty much hung out. had takeout from koreana for lunch (california roll and vegetable spring rolls), then we headed over to menasha. cory, hayden, and james showed up around 4:15 or so, and then we had dinner. around 6:30 we were on the road back home. ian slept the whole way home, but abby didn't sleep at all. so, she was pretty tired by the time we got home around 8:30, and slept till 9 this morning.

so, that was our easter weekend. not particularly relaxing, thanks to mr. phlegm monster ian, but it could have been worse.

this afternoon, ian had his 4-month checkup. he now weighs 16 pounds 1 ounce (76th percentile), is 25 1/2 inches long (75th percentile), and in the 80th percentile for his head circumference. that's the lowest percentile for head circumference that abby OR ian have ever had. :) and he's finally kicking this cold. he also got 3 shots that obviously he wasn't terribly pleased about, but was a happy boy the rest of the afternoon.

we've entered a new phase with abby: the sassy phase. i've seen it coming, but today it really hit. i told her to stop pushing on my leg, trying to get onto the recliner footrest while i was feeding ian, and she said, "no, YOU stop it!" sigh. i'm not ready for this.
