Happy Anniversary to my darling husband who summed up the day like this:
'Wow, 2 years.....and they said it wouldn't last.'
Yeah, we've been married 3 years.
Happy Anniversary.

And now for a non-baby post...
This past week Owen was working like a mofo as one of his co-workers was on vacation. Eilish and I killed a lot of time in several malls across the GTA and I made a few observations I'd like to share with you all:
- There are a lot of strollers at a mall on a Wednesday afternoon.
- I am no longer American Eagle's target demographic. The large is SO NOT large and while in the change room I heard a bunch of girls talk about what they were going to wear on the first Friday of school - it being casual and all that. So yeah, me in the wheelchair change room with the babes and three 16 year olds sharing one change room picking out what to wear on dress down day. Au revior American Eagle!
- There is a difference between $50 jeans and $200 jeans. I was killing time while Eilish was sleeping and wandered into one of those stores that carry high end cloths. I couldn't resist trying on a pair of jeans. They were like butter. The softest denim you could find. The perfect rise, the perfect seat, the perfect everything. I however am on the pogey and did not buy them. But I wanted to - I really, really did. Sigh. I shall dream of them tonight.
- If it's shit, it's shit - even if it is 50% off with a Polo horse on it.
- Your toddler wouldn't scream so much if you didn't have him ON A LEASH!
- H&M sells the cutest baby clothes. For all you who think I don't dress Eilish 'girlie' enough, I can't wait until you see the skull and crossbones shirt I have my eye on!
- Nine West remains the happiest place on earth

Brute
Pronunciation: 'brüt
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French brut rough, from Latin brutus brutish, literally, heavy; akin to Latin gravis heavy
1 : of or relating to beasts
2 : INANIMATE
3 : characteristic of an animal in quality, action, or instinct: as a : CRUEL, SAVAGE b : not working by reason
4 : purely physical
5 : unrelievedly harsh
OK - so this definition of 'brute' doesn't really do what I want it to do which is describe to you how giant Eilish is. Perhaps measurements from today's doctor's appointment will be more helpful:
Weight - 17 pounds (up from 15.05 last month)
Length - 27.5 inches (up from 26.5 last month)
All the kid eats is formula but she is growing like a weed. Dr. Star says that it will all even out and her growth won't continue in this manner. Good thing too, I was beginning to picture having to shop at the Big & Tall store for clothes for my 7 foot 1 year old!
New pictures (of Eilish looking very serious - the kid won't smile when I put the camera in her face!) under 'Photos'.
