Baby Blase

We’ve been traveling to a far off land they call Oregon. It’s a strange and wondrous place with tall trees, rushing rivers and no internet.
Where babies get sick and have to be taken to Urgent Care centers in strip malls.
Where business gets unwillingly put on hold for a week.
Where people sit around and look at [...]

OK… I’m finally going to write about the trip to the E.R. that I eluded to on Tuesday.
After having such a bad experience the night before I was determined to pull myself together and let us all have a good evening together. Marc picked H up a little early from Finn’s house so that I [...]

I haven’t been writing because we have our noses tethered to the grindstone. Marc is waist-deep into tax stuff and I am just slammed with work. It is hard to imagine that taking 10 minutes to write a quick post is not possible, but, sometimes it just is.
Yesterday, while taking a quick break - probably [...]

I imagine it’s because it just happened and I have yet to get perspective and find some piece of humor yet, but, I am having a really hard time writing about the fact that half of our son’s face is dotted with scabby, dried blood and his left eye is still swollen.
THAT BASTARD CAT attacked [...]

The kid went from being a little short & chubby (25th percentile for height & 70th percentile for weight) to being perfectly average (50th / 50th)! Which is good because the baby-sized hamster wheel we’ve been making him run in all night was really not going with decor of the living room.

The baby was up for three hours at midnight on Tuesday night screeching like a possessed Howler Monkey. We were terrified that we broke him because of all of the traveling. That he would never again sleep through the night. Marc went to get him and he screamed and screamed. Marc could put him to [...]

Just got back from the doctor:
Big Brain - 90th% - 46.5cm
Big Belly - 70th% - 19lbs 4oz
Short Legs - 25th% - 25.5in
All is well. The doc was impressed with his sitting up abilities and said that most kids don’t usually sit up that well until about 7+months. She gave us the go-ahead to feed the [...]

We were about to revoke the kid’s Awesomest Baby In The World award (which he received last week in a momentous celebration for his brilliant portrayal of a perfect baby human - after finally getting used to the nanny) when, on Sunday night, the kid woke from his usual all-night slumber at 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, [...]

2 month check-up - 2 weeks early - 5 shots - 1 perfect baby.
He rocked his appointment today. He cried for about 7 seconds after the nurse stuck him with 5, did I mention that there were FIVE?, shots and then chilled out with a pacifier. The pacifier is not a necessity for him, and [...]
