Seis Puerqueños

On Sunday night we had the great fortune to eat an amazingly delicious dinner with our dear friends Nate & Chica. While eating Nate sensitively informed me that my blog had indeed turned into a “Mommy Blog”, which I had vowed to avoid. Chica then jumped in and told me I was “not that bad” and managed to name several mutual friends who had “mommy blogs” that were “not that bad”. Chica also assured me she still read my blog, but Nate wasn’t shy to admit that he has kicked me right out of his RSS.

As I sat later that evening and pondered this dilemma, I realized that most of the “problem” stemmed from spending all my time with Harmon. Now this is not really a problem, other than most of what I think about are baby things and my available time to blog has been significantly reduced. So, here’s a resolution to bring more balance to this blog, as I would be sad to find I had lost any more Nate’s out there. So you can now expect a “mommy/rude letters to strangers/really great stories having nothing to do with babies (probably)” blog. Oh Nate, you’ll understand someday when you have kids.

As such, here is a letter for you:

Dear WSDOT,

I understand that probably someday you will be adding a new lane to 405 between our exit (#9) and the Coal Creek exit, but I was just wondering if you could possibly make it any unsafer in the meantime? It was one thing when you took away the nice on-ramp to speed up on, making it virtually impossible to merge without getting mauled by a Mack truck. But then you decided you needed a yield sign, making those cars already in the lane on the freeway thinking that it’s ok to run you off the road. But now you have added a barrier(!) so now I cannot even see my impending doom. It’s scary enough driving in the Seattle area, can’t we cut out the blind merging? Seriously.

Waiting impatiently for the new lane,
Kelsey

PS I realize the snowstorm slowed you down, but it’s not snowing anymore, why aren’t you working?

You are watching TV and it says “the snow continues” and you don’t believe it so instead of looking outside you check the weather on the internet, and then when it confirms this, you then go to look outside and are shocked when you pull up the blinds and there is an inch of snow.

My baby liked to sleep. And now he doesn’t. So all you get is photos. And if you want more because you are a grandparent or someone who really likes to look at our lovely baby, you can see some new ones here.

We have been MIA a lot lately due to lack of internet. Probably we miss the internet a lot more than you miss us. But if you did miss us, here are one million photos to make you feel like you were here with us. And if that’s not enough, click here for even more.

Tomorrow we celebrate the great anniversary of two months since Harmon’s entry out into the world. In honor of such an event we saw the pediatrician today and would like to report the following statistics:

Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz (75-90%) (90ish)
Height: 25 inches (97%)
Head Circumference: (75-90%) (83ish)

We are proud of our giant, as he manages to keep a trim waist and be the tallest baby of the bunch. They told us he will start to taper off in height to his genetically predetermined height, but we’re convinced that height is super tall. Also the pediatrician (whom we had never met before, our was out of town) stroked my ego by telling me that I produced the largest baby ever naturally delivered.

I love this baby. He really is the best most greatest baby ever. No offense to other babies or my future children. He’s just real awesome.

Because sometimes your husband is out driving to get you Christmas presents and slides down a hill and gets his car totaled All parties were not hurt, unless you count 2 month old trucks, and other people’s jeeps, then those were hurt. Does anyone know a good body shop?

Dear Guy Pushing People Up the Hill and Pulling Them Out of Ditches,

I think you are real great. I wish there were more people like you in the world. I totally love you.

Love, Kelsey

PS You are a good husband too.

Just a small update on a big dude. Today at 6 weeks old my giant weighed 12 lbs 3 oz. And my muscles are getting bigger too.
