Teething Intensity

He was not crying, and hardly even squawking, but here you see the fruit of his labor:



Ok, Lord. What is in store for us with this wonderful little guy?

Bound to Happen

Let it be known that on March 19th, 2009 at the age of NEARLY four months, Drake spit up on Mommy for the first time.

It was bound to happen. I count myself very fortunate to have non-urpy kids. The upside of that is obvious. The downside is I never have a burp cloth when I need one, and my reflexes to catch spit-up before it hits the floor are seriously lacking.

Do you feel sorry for me? No. I didn't think so.

Meet My Brothers

Hi! I'm Weston.
Wanna meet my brothers?

Gack

Dee-Dee

Bee-Bee Uh.
La-La taught me his real name, so now I sometimes call him Bee-Bee D.

(Aren't we cute?)

He Found It!

His thumb and first finger. He finally pulled it out of that vice-grip fist of his and is now enjoying the fruits of his labor. I have another thumb-sucker (they are so cute when they slurp-slurp-slurp).

Way to go, Baby Drake!!

A Lame Way to Save 24-Cents

So I have my two youngest laying side-by-side on my bed. One is still wet, wrapped in a towel and smelling like baby shampoo. The other is awaiting his turn in the bath but before he makes his big splash I must take care of one detail: the unmistakable scent of two-year-old poop under his size 4 diaper. (Odoriferous, wouldn't you say?)

As the diaper is removed from him, the newborn next to him - completely naked under that soft towel - is grunting up a storm. I try to console myself... "Well, at least I just saved the expense of a diaper."

Weston is now in the bath, and the sacrificial towel is saturated with stain remover. I must end this blog now, because our track record for poop in the bathtub is not good. (We are up to two episodes in two weeks, now.)

On the bright side of infants and bowel movements (you mean there is a bright side? and a dark side?), this is the first poop-or-pee-outside-the-diaper we have had in Drake's 6 weeks of life. (unbelievable! Not even a cheap shot mid-diaper change!) But there is a first time for everything.

I wonder when the first spit-up occurrence will be...?
