Mobile
Baby Anthony has been crawling for about a month now.The kid is clearly in love with being mobile.The Momma? Not so much.This is nothing new to the parents of an infant--nothing new at all, I know. No dog dish is being left unturned; no stray cheese puff, unconsumed. (This is why we got a dog! Slacker puppy! Eat those cheese puffs!)Thank heavens, I … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday
The Smiling-Slurping-Smacking Six-Month-Old EditionEd. Note: A year ago today, I was waiting & watching & wondering & worrying. “Would this be a sticky baby or not?” He was, and this Advent is oh so different.PS. And did you hear Kristen’s news?!! … [Read more...]
Shopping on White Saturday
Yesterday I took the kids to a cute little shop called Peapods.I had a gift certificate left over from my baby shower—thank you, Erin!—and I’d been wanting to go for ages.My hens, I think, were glad we did.I could have bought the store out, really, but I didn’t.I can be prudent like that.Instead, I purchased just two items—a wooden rattle and a … [Read more...]
First Fruits Part II
Now that Anthony’s gotten a taste of solids, he is keenly interested in what I’m eating. Nestled in my arms at the dinner table last night, he complained angrily about not getting a bite of my DiGiorno’s Pizza.It’s not that good, kid. Let it go.Clearly my 6-month-old wants more solid food than he’s getting yet I’m afraid of overdoing it, especially … [Read more...]
No Offense Taken
Angela: “Anthony thinks he is cuter than Jesus but he’s not.”Though evidently he’s still cute enough that his siblings share their candy.You know what all this hand-to-mouth nonsense means, don’t you? It means that I need to clean my floor! (This is so not one of my strengths.)And yes, I took the sucker away from him.Just as soon as Jem got a … [Read more...]
First Fruits
Actually, it was rice cereal.Not that my five-and-a-half-month-old minded.He was pretty durn interested regardless.Just look at him! It’s a bowl of mush and he can’t take his eyes off of it.(I don’t think he’s realized yet that this bland but delicious concoction is…for him. He has grown so accustomed to his momma eating in front of him that such … [Read more...]

Pacified
Finally! We finally got Anthony to take a binky.*Though granted, he’s still somewhat...indifferent.I don’t understand why some babies refuse to take a pacifier. Our Jem, for example, stood (or rather, lay there) on principle and never once gave into the transitory pleasures of the plastic plug. I realize it probably tastes funny at first and that … [Read more...]
