Annoying Obsession

Not mine. His:
This cat, is OBsessed. Majorly, annoyingly, obsessed. With what, you ask? Me. Yes, strange but true. I can't move without him, and he refuses to leave me alone for even a second.

When I was pregnant for Kian he laid on me, on my belly, and then when Kian was born he laid curled around Kian. But, it was never to this magnitude. It's insane! If we are outside he claws at the windows and screens and meows pitifully until we come in. He lays on my bed, on my pillows, on my belly all night long, to be as close to me as possible.

Rocky's always had a "foot fetish" but last night was ridiculous. He was licking the bottom of my feet, biting my feet and rolling all over them. He's so weird, so strange. Maybe he needs some drugs. If he gets too hot at night, he gets under the bed, claws around the box spring, lays there and meows to me. I really just want to call him retarded, but I know that's not appropriate to use that word. Moron is what I have been calling him. It's something to do with this baby, maybe he knows something I don't know, but it's got to stop soon. Unless he can predict this baby's arrival...

Playtime with daddy and cats

I know that you all (cuz there's so many of you reading) would rather see pictures of my cute boy instead of reading my random ramblings...so without further ado:

*this was before bed the only reason for the pacifier!

Funday

What's funnier than cats in baby jerseys? Seriously?

Stuff around the house

Not a lot going on around here. It's warmed up but become icy due to melting snow, then low overnight temps and some freezing rain turning into rain. Got all that? Blah. Bring on spring already. Snow's only good for Christmas. Then it's annoying.

Kian has some new 'skills' as of lately. He's begun giving me slobbery "kisses" when I get him in the morning. He grabs my face and plants an open-mouthed kiss anywhere on my face. So cute. He is doing a half army crawl thing to get to where he wants to go. He gets anywhere around the room. He has started shaking his head 'no' a couple times. I thought it was a fluke but then he did it to my grandma so I know it's starting. Great. Already. And peek-a-boo. He loves to do that. He tries to play it with the cats, but obviously they're not great companions for that stuff.

Other than that, it's been a pretty quiet weekend. Kevin's grandmother had to move into a nursing home because she needed around the clock help (at 88 what can you expect?) So we went out to her house and helped clean up some stuff and picked out a few things we wanted-couple dressers, patio furniture. She has a lot of knick-knacky things that not many people want.
And I made some new babyfoods. But I didn't have the patience or time to take pictures. Besides once you do one, they're all the same. This time I made fruits for breakfast: pears, peaches, bananas (which you don't have to cook) then I made a fruit mix of those three with some cooked mango in there too. Peaches: 1.99, pears: $2, bananas: $.87, mango: $1, for like $5.86 I got about 100 cubes which is roughly 30-50 meals depending on how hungry Kian is and if I add cereal or not. Can't beat that price. One bag of frozen green beans: 79 cents, made about 20-35 meals. I would have paid 79 cents for one jar! Anyways....

And my cat has a new annoying habit: Rocky gets on the bathroom sink and looks in the mirror and meows loudly at himself then swipes at the mirror. Which would be fine if it wasn't an expensive hanging mirror. It's not a vanity type that's screwed on. oy vey. I have no idea why he does this or just started. Odd.

This was a really random blog, but since I haven't blogged in a few days I thought I ought to put something up there. Maybe later during nap time I will start another holy war with the Vaccination/Immunization thing...

I Love...

This man:

This is my most favorite picture of him. Ever. After 2 non-sleeping, non-showering, sweaty and intense days he still looks good. The tattooed tough guy exterior melted to mush by that baby. He's funny, he's silly, he's extremely ambitious-always wanting to do things, fix things(sometimes making it worse). He's tough, or likes to think he is, but he's a big mush. I didn't say that though. We are complete opposites, he's social and talkative and outgoing. I prefer to stay home and not talk to people. He likes burgers and pizza, but he's been willing to try my food, like the Chicken French I made last night, and he complemented me on it!


This baby:

He's got my blue eyes and my heart forever. He's the sweetest baby I've ever met. He started kissing me when I get him in the morning and I melt. (OK it's more like a slobber, but he grabs my neck and face and slobbers on my cheeks and it's too much) This baby rarely cries, is happy 99% of the time, loves food, loves veggies, loves to laugh and loves books (yes!). If he's not smiling and laughing then he's watching the world and taking it all in, really thinking. I think he's oh so smart too.

This cat:

Ace, our first cat. The one that wakes me up in the middle of the night to put a paw on my face and lick my nose. He talks to you. He's more of a thinker and watcher, but when he gets going, he can be downright aggressive. He always wants you to talk to him too, not much for picking up and petting, just talk to him.

This cat:

Rocky. The baby. The naughty. For the first 2 months I think he thought his name WAS "naughty". Someday I'll compile all the pictures I have of him getting into everything. He follows me around the house all day long; lays beside the baby and lets Kian grab his fur or tail or ear. He never sits still, always looking for trouble. You'll find him in the dishwasher, the dryer, my drinking glass cupboard, and his favorite place-on top of the DTV receiver. He also loves to attack your feet in the middle of the night.

These cookies:

Good Lord Almighty! I am addicted. This is a horrible picture I know. They're cranberry oatmeal cookies. I'll post the recipe someday. Only that recipes says to used dried cranberries. Blah. I use FRESH cranberries, I love that tang. Excuse me while I wipe the drool off the keyboard.

This game system:

I'm in love, and may have little wii's running around the house someday. It's fun, it's physical. It's the best thing in my house, well except the things I named above. I use the boxing and tennis as part of my 'workout' after I walk/jog on the treadmill or elliptical. It's great. Excuse me while I go play Mario Vs. Sonic Brawl.


This food:
Homemade pizza. I find it better than other stuff, but Kevin likes commercial takeout pizza. Maybe it's because I actually like making stuff too... I like to put my pepperoni on a certain way and use veggies I choose in the cuts I like them to be cut in. Or maybe it's just my Type A crazy OCD personality taking over?

This food:

Is there really, seriously, anything better than garlic? I could live on garlic alone for months. Cooked, sauteed, roasted, garlic salt, garlic powder, you name it I want it. I use garlic in about 99.9% of my cooking (no not baking, cooking). I'm in love with Garlic, obsessed slightly, perhaps.

This pastime:

Board games & cards. Uno, Life, Connect 4, Monopoly, although Mall Madness is still my favorite! I do not, however, like Sorry. Sorry, I just can't get into it, it's *gasp* boring to me haha. And yes, all my games also have the Simpsons counterpart to go along with them, thanks to my Simpson obsessed hubby.

This:

Nothing better than sitting by a warm fire. Well a fire and a good book. A fire, a good book, a cup of hot chocolate AND one of those cranberry cookies, while my baby sleeps. MMM yeah. That's it.

And what do YOU love?

ps-Jon, stop gagging. Go say hi to mumbles, that will make you gag.
