I think I might have figured out what "Iggy" means. I thought it was his binky, but then it didn't seem like it. Last night when he was a bit fussy I gave him his favorite toy - a little giraffe blanket with bits to chew on attached to it. He said "Iggy!" and began cuddling it. I'm now wondering if he named his giraffe blanket Iggy. If not, it was a rather weird coincidence. If so, damn, he's already naming things at four months. We might have a smart little guy on our hands here.

Last night Flor came by after work. Her office has moved from Pasadena to Burbank and she's decently close to our place. She came over and Rob cooked his spaghetti with meat sauce recipe. We were going to do meatballs, but Rob said meat sauce was a bit less frazzling. Rob got home with the groceries around 6pm and Flor got to our place around 6:20pm or so. Rob cooked dinner and Flor and I chilled out with Gabriel. She is so good with kids! Gabriel seemed to really enjoy being held by her and when we put him in his bouncy seat to see if he would take a nap she was able to get him to sleep for a little bit. Wow. We had our spaghetti and garlic bread in a picnic on the floor just chilling out by a sleepy Gabriel (who woke up half way through dinner because he sensed that we were getting some hot food into us) and talking. It was nice hanging out with Flor again and I'm glad we just chilled out here. It was easier with Gabriel and we were just able to talk and catch up on things. Flor headed out around 9:30pm and when she left we got Gabriel ready for bed and headed to bed ourselves.

Today is an uber laundry day and I have so many loads to get done that it might spill over into tomorrow. I've noticed that I'm now doing at least one load a day. Damn. I have no idea how things get so dirty so fast. While I type this Gabriel is chilling out in his bouncy seat watching The Price Is Right (it's his favorite show). He's talking to the TV and I have a feeling he's bidding better than some of the contestants on the show.

Oh, one thing I want to mention before I forget that's sort of amusing. Last night when Rob got home from work he was a little shocked. He came into the apartment and House of the Dead (a bad zombie movie) was on the TV. Gabriel was on my lap (I was holding him facing me and standing so he could "dance") and he was having a giggle fit while I was saying "rarr, zombies" to him. It was a rather strange sight for Rob. I assured him that while I was teaching him what a zombie was (and that Gabriel cracked up laughing every time I said the word zombie) he wasn't watching the movie with me. He was facing away from the TV. I think that re-assured him a little bit. Though it is rather cute that Gabriel cracks up in a giggle fit at the mere mention of zombies. What can I say, the kid likes the shambling undead.

On another note, remember the snail I posted about who came onto the balcony window? The one I thought died? Well, he's still there and he's very dead. Ew. And somehow even though his dead little snail body has been sucked into the shell, he's still stuck to the window. I'm so not touching that. Hrm, snail zombies anyone?
