Jonathan and I were drawing and coloring together downstairs. At one point, I had written his name, and then when we were cutting things, I cut a heart out around his name. Soon after, I went to change Noah's diaper.
March 22 - He was pretending that his cereal was "vitamins" and counting them out to himself, "It's Saturday [eat one]...it's Monday [eat one]...it's Wednesday [eat one]...it's tomorrow...."
After Noah's doctor appointment, we went to the grocery store. I had parked forward-facing to a curbed, sloped sidewalk. On the side of the walk opposite the parking lot was a railing. Because of the curb, I did not push the cart to the trunk of my car as I usually do. I turned it perpendicular to the sidewalk and rested it against the railing.
24 pounds, 9 ounces. 30 inches tall. He didn't cry a single whimper for his shot or any of the blood drawing for his hemoglobin and lead tests. What a brave, tough guy!
We went to Florida for vacation with the Daleys for one week and the Wightmans for another week. It was a great time. But this leaves me behind on posting, so here we go...
I try to take Jonathan's questions seriously and answer them as accurately as I can. This morning, I could not think of a better answer than "well, the cells, they just do." (Which is not very satisfying.)

Here is the answer to that problem - a list of how to get to a real human when talking to a computer for lots of different companies.

From Talking Out Of Turn
We got our gas bill for February - the highest we have gotten in a long time. Apparently, the average temperature was eleven degrees colder than last year, causing us to use two and a half time more gas than we did last February.
We did leave our heat on more last month than usual, but that was because our furnace can't quickly (in less than eight hours) raise the temperature of our house ten or fifteen degrees like it can when the temperatures are warmer.
I hope this global warming trend doesn't continue - otherwise, I'll probably have to spend the time and money to insulate my house.

Jonathan: "I know why Isaac died."
Mommy [thinking she'd like to know]: "You do? "
Jonathan: "It's because his body stopped working."
