Talking with my friend recently – this is a friend with a baby son only a month younger than mine – we realized something. Moms (and, it must be supposed, dads as well) do gross things in the name of parenthood. We were talking about when babies get congested, which led to the topic of…

Baby anecdotes
Top Tens by Dilovely and Son
Top Ten Things Dilovely is stoked about this week (in random order): E in overalls. I mean, seriously, can he get any cuter? Guelph’s Rainbow Chorus 15th anniversary concert last night. Pretty songs, solid harmonies, vibrant colours, happy (gay, lesbian, bi, trans, and friends) people, community spirit out the wazoo. Plus snacks. Did you know…
Baby Bits VII
Bébé E n’aime pas: the sound of breath whistling through a metal cylinder. Sean was trying to dry out the column of his fountain pen by blowing through it after washing it today, and E started to cry. He tried again a bit later, and the sound was so upsetting to E that Daddy had…
Baby Bit(e)s (Hard) VI
It’s been a trying day. I realize I have a lovely baby. He eats well most of the time, does lots of sleeping compared to many babies, smiles a lot, is learning like a li’l turbo-genius, and brings us immeasurable joy. Also, he bites. On his mom’s nipples. This is not so lovely. I know…
Baby Bits V
Sometimes I have Mommy Flash-Forwards. Today is the first day I deliberately got stern with E, because we were trying to have lunch and he decided that his newly re-found raspberry-blowing skills would go nicely with eating solids. Of course, he picked the magenta food to distribute in a fine spray all over his environs. …
Baby Bits IV
What a day today! E had: Long, awesome naps (like yesterday’s – exactly coinciding with the increased calories… hmmm). LOTS of rolling – especially after he was supposed to be asleep but was too excited – he would roll to the edge of the couch and his auntie would patiently scootch him back, like a…
Baby Barfs – I mean, Baby Bits III
Landmark day: E’s first projectile vomiting of solids! Woo hoo! He did seem to be eating an awful lot for dinner, but he has been doing so well with this that we didn’t think anything of it. Mashed peas and potatoes with a bit of canola oil (we realized a couple nights ago that he…
Seven Months Old
I cannot believe how time is flying! When I look back at the photos and videos of my baby E from a few short months ago, I am amazed at how much he’s changed. It is both heartbreaking and exhilarating. He is so full of life and fun, and I am so blessed to be…
Baby Bits II – A Holiday Flashback
There once was a baby from Guelph Whose mom dressed him up like an elf He looked so darn cute In his Christmasy suit That he smiled in spite of himself!
Baby Bits I
E has a newish habit of biting noses. You think you’re just playing with him, bouncing him on your lap or whatever, and suddenly he’s coming at you with mouth wide open, and before you know it your nose is covered in baby goober. I find it hilarious, love watching him become one-eyed monster baby,…
