Awww crap!

Ullrich, Mancebo and Basso banned from Tour!

Basso, Mancebo and Ullrich's teams said Friday that because their names had come up in the probe they were being withdrawn from the Tour. Ullrich's T-Mobile squad said it also suspended rider Oscar Sevilla and sporting director Rudi Pevenage because of their involvement.

I was really looking forward to seeing if Ullrich could win this year.

Heh

I'm considering adding one of these outside of our office.

How to Cheat Good

Hey Gretchen - this one's for you:

The only people allowed to use the word “colour” are those with Indian surnames. “Weight,” you may argue, “I was bourne and razed in the english countryside.” I have no doubt, but your Commonwealth heritage is not easily detectable by your surname, so I’m afraid you will need to switch to Amerkin spelling for work in my classes...Otherwise, fair or not, it somehow appears that you have copied your work from another author.

9 hours and 13 minutes. awwww yeah!

First full night of sleep we've had in almost four months. Charlie slept from 8:47pm to 6:00 am!!! Keep it up buddy!

Trixie Tracker

So we're starting to get desperate on the sleep front. While we are tempted to compare Charlie to Claire, it's hard not to remember that Claire slept through the night at 8 weeks. Charlie's longest stretch of sleep was about 6 hours, but he's averaging about a couple of hour long naps during the day and he's sleeping 2-3 hours at a stretch during the night.

We're in the process of digesting several sleep advice books, but they all suggest that you keep track of the sleep patterns of your child. We're using Trixie Tracker to keep track of Charlie's sleep patterns. You can get really anal and track dirty diapers, but we're sticking to the sleep mode for now.

Once we have some telemetry under our belts, we will report back.
