Killing time

Books read:
Catching Fire excellent, makes me long to read Mockingjay, which I'm number 116 for from the library (down from 261 originally)
Hide in Plain Sight free on Kindle, light and breezy Christian mystery. Did I mention free? not bad.
One for the Money
Two for the Dough
Three to get Deadly

I got sucked into the Stephanie Plum series. It's not really my type of reading; or rather, it's the type of book I would have read 10 years ago except that I hate those kitschy title tie-ins so I never did. They are enjoyable and quick reads, and I think I'll continue the series as in-between books while I'm not reading other things. I finally just took back Shutter Island, because I obviously wasn't going to read it right now. Also around and waiting to be read: I am Number Four, My Name is Memory, Life as We Knew It, So Much For That, and The Maze Runner.

I also have 1-2-3 Magic, The Baby Whisperer for toddlers, and The Baby Whisperer on DVD. Noticing a discipline-issue trend?

Movies Watched:
The Lovely Bones very good - it had been long enough since I had read the book last, so any differences didn't bother me.
Fame cute, and Spencer sat still for at least half of it, which is better than any animated movie thus far.
You're So Cupid hideously bad
The Break-up Artist innocuous and cute
When in Rome innocuous and cute
Halloweentown ABC Family ... cute :)
I Want to Marry Ryan Banks also ABC Family - did you know they play these movies on Lifetime Movie Network? Thank you, LMN.

I also watched another ABC Family movie, but I can't remember the name at all. I'm sure it will come back to me, or else I'll remember when I try to watch it again.

I finally paid off all of the bills related to labor and delivery. I was going to set up a payment plan for the one large bill from the hospital, but I was afraid I wouldn't remember, so I just paid it all outright. It killed me to spend all that money (and not even on shoes!) but it needed to be done, and I feel better now that I don't have any Henry-related debt. I can't imagine what it would have been without insurance, but I saw the EOBs. Ick.

I still haven't started working out, but I did strap Henry to me yesterday in the carrier and took a walk around the neighborhood with Spencer. Evidently "toddler pace" is not an acceptable rate of speed for the cardiotrainer app on my phone because it kept pausing my workout and I finally turned it off (I really was just interested in how far we went) but we were out for about an hour, and then came back to play outside for a bit (I read).

Henry had his two-month appointment yesterday, and he's 12lbs 1 oz (60%), 22 3/4" long (45%). He seems more proportional than that, but he has a lot of muscle on his legs since he's always trying to scoot himself across the floor or kick his bouncy chair so the lights turn on. We've switched him to sensitive stomach formula because he wasn't sleeping very well, and he rewarded us by sleeping for 36 hours almost straight. Now he's back on a more normal sleep schedule but I think he still sleeps a little more than the average 2-month old. Maybe he's just catching up? I got both kids the flu vaccine and still had to hold Spencer down even though his was only up the nose. Because of that, he actual napped which he doesn't do anymore, but he then woke up hysterical and I threw him in the shower to stop the crying. He does this every time he takes a nap and I don't know what to do about it. Sometimes he just needs to sleep, you know? Do I have to have 30 minutes of screaming after he wakes up? He's such an amazingly happy child when he wakes up from overnight (even though he's sleeps terribly). I wish he would be like that every time he slept.
