Here’s the other key part: the first two dunks! They say that if you blow in your baby’s face, he’ll hold his breath for dunking. It worked for us. It was darn cute! I was so proud of how E took to this whole pool thing like a PRO. I think it’s because Daddy pours…

Cute Baby Learnin’ Skills with Daddy
Yay, it’s video day! Actually, it took quite a while to find success with this… I’ve had to venture into the world of YouTube so that my huge, HD videos can be accessible to y’all. I’m going to start with just one, and if it works, there will be another one tomorrow. Okay? This one,…
Top Six Moments from Today, in Chronological Order
E’s insistence, during potty time, on seeing Mama’s bellybutton and then launching himself forth to give zerberts; E’s shifting expressions of confusion, incredulity, and delight when, just for shiggles, I put the cap from his bottle on my nose; E’s shifting expressions of confusion, incredulity, and disgust when presented with a rice rusk that had…
Eavesdropping and Snow Dropping

Baby Bits XIV
I fear I have created a monster. We’ve only been giving E Cheerios for a few weeks, but already he gets all antsy and whiny if he hasn’t had a hit in a while. You give him some and he just wants more. He now recognizes the Oscar the Grouch container we’ve been keeping them…
Ominous Waiting
It’s like having a tornado heading your way. It looks bad – it’s touching down and hitting other folks – doesn’t stay long but wreaks havoc – it could hit me any time and it wouldn’t be pretty! – or it might just blow over. Every person in my house but me (that’s only three,…
Kudos to you, single parents.
Baby is sick today. There’s been copious evidence coming out both his ends, starting at pre-dawn… sheets changed, baby’s clothes changed, mama’s clothes changed, plenty of other laundry, an extra bath… several short naps, some eating, some dozy awake time, some serious (but highly successful!) potty time, and even some periods where he seemed totally…
33 Years Old, and Nine Months Old – and one day.
Happy Birthday, beloved husband! Happy nine months and one day, best baby ever! Here are some terrible “poems” for you (and please remember, I love you way more than these cheesy rhymes can express): He has eyes like the sea after a storm, He is the expert in the field of Snuggles, He keeps my…
