and this is all before my morning coffee
Is he eating enough? Is he eating too much? Is he too short? Should we be worried about that yet? Is he sleeping too much? …I know - just rude to even mention it… Is he happy? Should we let him cry more? Is his skin loosing it’s softness? …he’s growing up so fast… When will he be able to talk? I can’t wait for that… Stay in the moment! …You’re a bad mom for wanting anything other than what he is right now… Should we still be swaddling him to sleep? Will we have to swaddle him for the rest of his life? What if we’ve trained him only to sleep that way? Does he like us? Is he having enough fun? Is he learning enough? Maybe he’s bored? What if he grows up a holy terror? What if he doesn’t respect us as he gets older? What if we forget to respect him? Is reading to him at night-only, enough? Is reading two or three books enough? Does he care? Are we talking to him in the correct way? Is the high pitched voice I do in order to make him smile screwing with his idea of the English language? Will he be late to speak because I repeat his baby talk and also speak back in adult-human? Do we work too much? …yes… But, is he aware of that yet? Does he already think we love work more than him? Is there enough time to love him enough? If we sold everything and stayed home to play baby all day would he be happier? Would we? Is he as cute as I think he is? Could he possibly be the cutest baby of all time? Does having a baby clog your brain with too many questions?

In the order posed: yes, no, no, no, no, yes, no, no, around 12 months for the first word, yes, no, don’t worry about it, yes, yes, yes, probably not, he won’t, at some point he won’t, you’ll course correct, sure, sure, nope, yes, probably not, nope, yes, no, no, never!, no, yes, yes, of course!, yes.
These sound like good answers to me. Plus he can never be too cute. Also, congratulations to John and Kara and Owen on the arrival of the new little Dylan. Desley
I think he will become gay if you continue to talk to him in a high-pitched voice!{and all those fancy clothes]
not that there’s anything wrong with that!
