CROCKBABY

Yeah, lame title, but I am dying to gripe about computers. I don't know if all of you know, but I got a new laptop a couple months ago (because James' old one died and we were sharing my old one). It has caused nothing but headaches since we got it, due to Vista royally sucking. Luckily, James got it all sorted out before he left for tour (he downloaded Windows onto it instead). But now???? My computer has a virus - some spyware got installed on it because apparently, I was looking up "penis toys." Seriously, those words appeared in my Google search dropdown list. Bizarre. Anyway, I was downloading a news video off CNN the other night when all of sudden, I was taken to page that told me I had a virus and now all these boxes keep popping up telling me to install "antimalware software" to get rid of it. Really just a con to get you to buy the software. I can still use the laptop, but it is most annoying because any time I try to change the page or access a different folder on my computer or open a new picture of my sweet boy, the box pops up and I have to close it again! And everything is running a lot slower than normal. James says he can fix it and I'm not going to lose anything or cause any damage by not getting on it right away, but in the meantime, it's driving me mad!

So no headers on these pictures again...I figure you can work them out. The ones with the cell phone are when James and Dori were talking - Dori really knows it's his daddy - he smiles and tries to eat the phone. :) The ones with the other baby (his friend Denali from my moms' group) were at our first music class yesterday - Dorian LOVED it. He smiled the whole time (not for the pictures though, of course). And, he was really starting to interact with the other kids! Although, I think it was just because he thought "Ooh, something new to chew on!" He was really going for Denali's ear!

In Dori news - he is not letting me exercise because he hates his strollers at the moment. All three of them. He'll last about 5 minutes and then start screaming and I end up carrying him AND pushing the stroller. Not the workout I had in mind. He wants to be carried and held ALL THE TIME. Even at home. It's been very difficult to get work done this week because he doesn't even want to hang out in his jumperoo or playmat at the moment. He is a little fussy. Maybe he knows his daddy is gone and everything is "off?" He also says "Mum," "Mom," and "Mummy" all the time...you can see where we got those words from! But it makes it very hard when he's crying while I'm peeing in the other room..."Mum, mum, mum" he says. It's all I can do not to run to him with my pants round my ankles!!! He is sitting up for longer and longer periods of time. He keeps rolling over onto his tummy and then not knowing how to get back. It is very cute. Last night, he kept doing it over and over and over again in his crib. I'd put him on his back and he'd flip onto his stomach and not be able to get back over again and he'd start crying hysterically. But he just didn't learn! I must have gone in there 8 times! He is still waking every 1-3 hours. Although last night I went to bed with him at 7pm because I was so exhausted. He slept until midnight! Maybe he just needs me to sleep with him ALL THE TIME? I don't know. Anyway, we're off to a moms' group picnic at Lake Temescal. The weather is gorgeous and hot here at the moment. Dorian will try out his new shorts, sunglasses and sunscreen today and play with 8 other babies. Pictures to come in a couple days, of course! In the meantime...
