Falling back into the bad habits of working better at night than during the day. Great for productivity, but don't think I'm supposed to be doing that. Love getting warm blueberry cream cheese croissants from Treasure Island. So good. Best I've had? Possibly. The ones from Specialty's, which I might have to get when I go in to work on Monday, those are more like danishes. Still good, but different. Random observation: I was a slow walker. I meander. Take my time. But after Lucy was born, I tend to be more direct, faster, purpose driven in my walking. It's odd. As far as I can tell having a child was the reason. I wonder why? Speaking of Lucy, she's getting marginally better at napping on her back. Up to 25 minutes even. On pillows in the play pen area. Looking forward to the unofficial weigh-in tomorrow, because she's definitely getting bigger. As for videos of her, I've decided to screw it and just make 2 copies, one for iPhones and one for iPads. Better than spending my time trying to figure out all the different x264 options to send to Handbrake to make it look good. And space is still relatively cheap. Also posted Lucy's first Youtube video. Shows up on her website according to date/time posted, not actual date/time of the video. So I'll have to adjust that after they get imported to Storytlr. Ended up just using iMovie to post it. Might do some editing to post others, but that takes effort. Had an affogato today at home. Good stuff. In-laws came in to scout out where they'll do the substitute daycare when my parents are out of town. Had dinner over there. Of course, didn't take any photos.

Spent pretty much all day thinking it was Thursday. But it wasn't. Didn't have to do nighttime feedings, or even morning feeding, since Tracy had the day off. So I got to sleep in, but because I didn't get to sleep until late, well, kind of wasted that bonus. Whoops. Summer's just flying by, when I realize that July ends this weekend. Crazy. Changed my haircut appointment to Friday instead of Sunday. Returned movies to Redbox. Didn't get a snack or a cookie or anything. I do get to have pastries for breakfast tomorrow. It's our once a week treat. Missing sweets a bit. Oh, installed Flipboard on the iPad today. Even though I don't have it personalized with Facebook and Twitter, it's still one of the coolest things ever. Seriously like living in the future. Magazine from online sources. From multiple online sources. Very slick. Something I'd actually want to pay for. Watched My Boys and Eureka. Both great shows. The flashbacks to NU dorm life? Funny stuff. Matches up with my timeline pretty well. Spot on. Tiny little backpack indeed. Also noticed I got defriended by Meghan on Facebook. That's funny. Amusing. No idea when that happened. Reminds me that I was also defriended by high school Rebecca. Odd that it was also timed with having kids. Weird. Not that I interact on Facebook at all. I just lurk there. That might be why. Oh well.

So we implemented a back only sleeping policy for Lucy, which mostly applies to Grandma's daycare, but also to ourselves. Apparently something we should have been enforcing all along. Especially hard because of how well she used to sleep on her tummy at Grandma's. Well, after laying down the rule on Monday morning, she really hasn't been sleeping much during the day, instead of the sleeping all the time like before. So besides trying to get her used to sleeping on her back again consistently, we're also starting to sleep train, or at least try to. Which we've been trying, or at least paying some attention to for a month or so. We try and have her last meal as close to bedtime as possible, which we think is currently 9pm. Last night she went down then and didn't wake up until 5am, which led to an actual argument between Tracy and I. Tracy thought I should have put Lucy back down after her feeding as if it was a night feeding, while I thought Lucy was done sleeping for the night, and it was her wake up time. Could go either way, especially since Lucy isn't all that scheduled right now. But Lucy's definitely looks more tired, seems crankier, fussier. Although it also seems like she's growing, longer. She actually feels like she's getting a little leaner. I've also taken to putting socks on her when her feet get cold. And the new SwaddleMe is still a little too big, so it's just as easy to get her arms free at some point in the night. Besides baby stuff, rented Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hot Tub Time Machine from Redbox. First time in a while for that. Worked a lot today too, well into the night. Trying to also be a little better on snacking, and eating healthier. Helps there's no desserts in the house.

Go figure, I'm actually typing this up on my MacBook. Tracy's been using the iPad, or poop machine as we like to call it, to play games. Current addiction is Harbor Master. Wondering when she'll actually ask for her own. Starting to get so used to f.lux that I'm wishing the iPad had it too. It's super nice. Almost makes me sleeping working on the computers. Friday met up with David Morse for lunch down at Xoco. Good to see him. Brought back some churros for Tracy. Also was really hot out that day. Got some supplies from Amazon, 3 different shipments, 2 of coffee for the Keurig, 1 of stage 2 Born Free nipples. I think it was 2 different UPS trucks and 1 FedEx truck in the morning. All free shipment. And ordered on Wednesday. There was also that giant storm, really loud rain. Figured Green City Market would be muddy, and didn't want to drag Lucy though the rain and mud, so just walked down to Nettlehorst French Market. Weather cooperated, so ventured down Broadway, stopping at Radio Shack, Threadless and World Market before settling in at Wilde for lunch. Yummy Irish Breakfast. Just had leftovers for dinner. Sunday ventured out to the 'burbs for a BBQ at the in-laws. Wanted to do some shopping on the way out except Lucy wasn't very happy about it, so just ran in and got things at Babies 'R Us (Large SwaddleMe), Home Depot (keychain garage door opener), Dominick's (bread for bruschetta), and White Castle (lunch). Also been trying to figure out how to transcode the GF1 videos to a universal format for iPhone and iPad. Hasn't been easy. Very annoying even. I want to keep the home movies in iPhoto, which I think causes the problem, because the same movies imported to iTunes, sync and play no problem, but throw the "movie could not be played" error when synced through iPhoto. I probably should just edit them in iMovie, but it would be nice to have a quick little process to get them on the iOS devices for quick sharing. Finally vacuumed today. Been procrastinating on that for a while, but when we got home last night and Tracy immediately started sneezing and oozing snot, I figured it was time.
