Hoodlum Routines
Here’s a typical hour and a half in the life of Abigail. Please note the cute hoody. Wake up, diaper change, feed, then hang out on Mommy or Daddy’s lap for 10 or 15 minutes. Get bored of lap and require something more stimulating like the bouncy seat with singing fish theme (more on that […]
Peanutbutter Farts
To administer Gretchen’s anti-biotic three times a day, we’ve been wadding the pill up in a ball of peanut butter. After a week of this, she could give Mr. Peanut a run for his money. The only thing more tedious is the appointment to have her bandage changed every 2 or 3 days. Eh. At […]
Folded in Half
Jen got a new sling for Abigail. Those little yellow and orange things by her chin are her feet. The sling works well. She doesn’t seem to mind, but it’s pretty silly to see. – b
Gone to the Dogs
I have one that’s dying and spends the majority of his wakeful time going out and coming in. Sometimes he doesn’t even make it off the deck before he decides he’s had enough and wants to come back in. He’s even decided it’s now appropriate to bark to let us know he wants out. He’s […]
They Grow so Fast!
Just when you think “Yeah she is getting bigger” Jen takes Abigail’s little diaper pant thingies and puts them up to my boxers. She’s still tiny or I’m a fatass. – b
Foaming at the Mouth
Have gotten lots of questions about the dogs and the baby. By the looks of this picture, it’s the dog for which we should be concerned. In reality they get along fine. Gretchen’s only interested in licking Abigail and Abigail pretty much ignores the dogs. If a person walks up to Abigail, she finds their […]
Long Overdue
Finally got the pictures and commentary up from the December trip to the Adirondacks. See them here. Makes me want to do another trip soon. – b
Daddy’s Big Day
Jen’s going back to work in a week, so yesterday we ran some tests. First Jen took Gretchen to the Vet. for a checkup on her paw. This coincidentally occurred the same time Abigail was to be fed. No problem. I grabbed some previously pumped bottles and did the feeding. Feeding done it was time […]
Baby Formula
Medela says: By the end of the first week of life, women who are breastfeeding one baby normally make between 19 to 30 oz of milk each day. Infants between one (1) and six (6) months of age normally drink an average of 19 to 30 oz a day.* An average size “meal” for a baby […]
Spring Rain
Riding up through the hollow the green around us seemed to breath. There’s a certain vibrancy the leaves take on after an evening spring rain. The green comes alive and huddles all around. As your shoulders brush along branches you don’t just get wet, you get touched. The sky was like a wound. Everything was […]
