Two Months Old Already!

15422

Our precious Sophia is 2 months old already!!! How did this happen? Where did the time go? Everyone tells me to enjoy this time now because they are only this small for so short a time. How true it is. This past month has been filled with so much growth and change. She has gained some weight and is getting baby rolls (or chubs as I like to call them). She has gotten more beautiful, but that was to be expected. Sophia focuses her eyes on us and objects and reacts to them, mostly with smiles and babbling. That's another thing....she is 'talking' a lot right now and cooing. She is also on the very edge of getting a laugh out. It is so nice that my baby can now truly look at me and recognize me. It makes me feel good. She also knows what it means to get scared. I was feeding her the other night sitting next to BJ. He sneezed really loud and she got the biggest frown on her face and then started to cry. Her scared cry is so different from her hungry or tired cry. It sure helps for me to be able to interpret what she needs/what's wrong.

I also have people ask me frequently if motherhood was what I thought it would be. I tell them "No, it's even better." It is actually not as hard as I thought and much more fun. Sophia is a joy to play with (I feel like I will do anything for a smile) and a joy to care for. I'm sure I would be singing another tune if she were a difficult baby, but seeing how she isn't......motherhood is great!!

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
