5k and blackjack

since annie is always looking for fun activities, the montgomery family got out and "ran" the encinitas 5k this morning. we couldn't quite keep up with the kenyans, but i am pretty sure we finished in the top 100 of the people with strollers category. annie came home and immediately registered for a 10k in three weeks. i, on the other hand, registered for physical therapy.

somehow the boys were the only ones who walked away with medals, which i thought was slightly unfair since they didn't really do anything besides sit there.

next stop, the la marathon...2023

other snippets:

1. annie had her first experience with tasting somebody else's vomit yesterday morning when ryder puked in her mouth. frankly i am a little surprised it hadn't happened before, b/c i am pretty sure this a fairly universal experience amongst moms.
2. ryder's new favorite noise to make is the motorboat, which sends drool flinging in every direction. it is cute and all, unless he starts in at like 5 in the morning.
   
3. isaac is so funny with his binkis. we keep like half a dozen in his bed at all times so if he wakes up he can pop one in and go back to sleep, but he has developed this habit of rotating them. he will sit there and suck on one for a while, then periodically swap it out for another. there does not seem to be much rhyme or reason, but he does seem to like some color combinations better than others.
4. isaac turned 21 months on thursday, which means he is officially 1 and three-quarters years old, or 1.75 for those of you who prefer decimals. i like 21, especially when you can play for like $3, but it is crazy to me that isaac is almost two. spoiler alert: the celebration will involve thomas the train.
