Stilly teensy, part II
So, the 'bean had her 7 month check up today. And yes, she's still teensy. But bigger than before!
Now, she's back up to the 5th% weight, at a WHOPPING 14 lbs, and is in the 50th% for height!!!! She was in the 35th, so she's getting tall!!!
Way to go Jellybean!

Feminists march on Manhattan...
As a Manhattanite, Monkey gets an almost daily dose of safety lessons for walking on the sidewalks, across busy streets, etc. This occurs both at home and at school.
Approximately a year ago, when I first started walking with Monkey to school (i.e., walking to the bus stop and not using a stroller), I started a dialogue about the "walking man" and the "red hand that means stop."
By now, Monkey has it down pat. In fact, if you start to cross before the "walk" signal has officially turned on, she'll pull you back and chastise you "no mom!" (cough, not that I've done this....ahem)
However, last week was the best. On the way to school with a very happy insane toddler, I announced "let's go, it's the walking man".....
Monkey immediately whipped around and loudly announced "No, it's the walking GIRL!"
That's my girl!

Best Out of Office Message, ever
We have an awesome babysitter I'll call C. She's not here in NYC this summer, but at home with her family and working with a reptile show. She popped in earlier this summer when visiting NYC and showed us the bite the baby gila monster gave her. I know, right? I trust my kids to someone with a baby gila monster scar on her forearm. Cool.
Anyway, I sent her an email this morning about setting up a recurring babysitting night (gym night for me - huzzah!). And she has her "out of office" message on. I about spit out my coffee laughing at this one:
Greetings! I am nowhere near a computer. I am, in fact, exposing
myself to hantavirus. I will get back to your email on or around July
15, assuming of course that I don't die of any mouse-born diseases.
I would normally say you can text me if necessary, but, I won't have
my phone at all. Try smoke signals! It could work.
Via con dios,
C
