top 5 things meme from damomma
I have been tagged by DaMomma and so here I go…
(Some memes are fun and others give me a headache. Like the kind where you have to answer three hundred questions including things like which ice cream flavor, chocolate or strawberry, and that one was fun the first time I got it in an email […]

so how was your day?
I got myself invited out to lunch with some of the moms from my new Mothers’ Group. We walked to the restaurant. About 20 minutes, around the lake. It was awkward, me pushing the snap-and-go with its less than smooth ride, and the other two women with their tiny babies neatly swaddled against […]

monday’s mama is still learning how to use her new camera
Life is goo.
But wait, the new/used sweater must be viewed from front, too:

vaccination and new baby clothes
Who has time to read the whole book? I read the last four chapters. Well, skimmed. Enough to gather that I should be worried about aluminum in vaccines, and enough to find the two schedules the doc recommends — one very conservative one for when he’s beseeching anti-vax parents to consider a few, and […]

new baby, rev. 3?
Okay, now this is a baby I really don’t know.
He slept through our first mother’s group meeting this morning (this is not my mini-group-of-mom-friends that I’ve mentioned in the past, but a real, facilitated, large circle of women and babies I’ve never met that it costs money to participate in for the 8 weeks of […]

day 57 of the occupation
Our captor is wearing us down. But just as we were seriously considering giving up, he smiled at us. Really smiled. The face-splitting, eye-squinting grin. And he wasn’t even on the changing table when it happened!
Hooray!
Note: I find it very difficult not to write in the “we” form here, whether I am describing his […]

to ec or not to ec
On Friday, I held my boy in the “cradle hold” over the toilet and he peed into it. Twice.
Well, to be totally honest, the second time it happened I was watching his face (and he doesn’t really know how to aim) so it kinda landed on my leg, but I’m still counting it.
How did I […]

wednesday’s child went shopping
And Thursday’s child went to yoga and then out a-visiting friends.
Who is this new and improved baby?
Is it the fact that I’ve stopped eating dairy? Or is it a developmental leap he’s made? Or both? (I am too tired to figure out the new poll tool I’ve downloaded, so for now, please just vote in […]

same day, new baby
It’s completely amazing. He’s making eye contact. He’s smiling. He’s mellow. We took a bath. He loved it. He slept in the Moby for hours, didn’t cry when I put him in the bucket and took him to the cranial-sacral chiropractor, chilled through his appointment, complained initially when I put him in the Bjorn (rather […]
