Quirky, nerdy and more than a little sarcastic at times, this is my life, in blog form.Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04494754507674506020noreply@blogger.comBlogger91100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37321317.post-68918081048394169162008-11-23T17:23:00.000-08:002009-09-01T13:43:27.979-07:00

Okay, so I'm kind of liking Tumblr more than blogger lately, so you'll probably find newer stuff over there:http://jennmartin.tumblr.comgmail: neliamne

So I've finally joined the Youtube ranks- I imagine most or all of my videos will be of the baby.  Anyone who knows me knows my feelings on being in pictures, much less video.Here's Elinor laughing:

So Elinor is 5 months today- I can't believe how fast the time has passed!  We had a doctor's checkup and she officially weighed in at 18lbs 10ozs and 27".  Apparently the breastfeeding is working (I had been originally thinking we were doing something wrong)!She's been doing some fun stuff lately- namely grabbing at everything!  I'd also say I think now she really is teething, but I thought that

Before:After: Her new thing is to close her eyes for most of the photos I take, so she looks sleepy in this one. This rotation was an accident, but I suspect she's not far off of turning over on purpose.  Once that happens, I'm really in for it.

So I know I don't have a ton of posts yet, but I couldn't resist seeing what I would get from wordle for the blog. Too much fun.Not a whole lot else going on- I added some pics on flickr (see link in list to left) and will end up starting a facebook page some time in the near future. I couldn't resist the lure of the social networking sites forever... now I'll end up on all of them- sigh.

So I thought it would be neat to weigh Elinor on Saturday, seeing as she was exactly 4 months old that day. At her last checkup (3 months) she weighed 15 pounds 6 1/2 ounces. We used my mom's digital scale (the pic is for illustration purposes only- it says 15lbs because she needed help staying on the scale) and came up with a number I hadn't thought possible... 18 pounds even. She's nearly

Ok, so now I'm sure E is teething. I had suspected it for a while, but the last two days really convinced me the little buggers are on their way. I knew teething babies can be more of a handful, but combine teething with being overtired and you get plank baby (think trying to hold onto a wiggly 2x4 that weighs 16lbs) who tries to chew on everything while crying. Whew. It's a good workout,

So now that I'm staying at home, I find myself wanting to blog again. We'll see if I can keep it up this time. Don't hold your breath- you can see my last post was quite a while ago. I was able to make the layout all pretty this time around, though.

It took me a long time to decide on a name for my blog. I wanted it to reflect my personality, but there are so many cool blog names out there, I didn't really know where to start. I thought about my favorite books and movies, my hobbies, all the stuff I think is really cool. My all time favorite book is part of a 'trilogy' of 5 books by Douglas Adams called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
