For your viewing pleasure... :)





Here's some pictures of our cute boys. The last two are of them yesterday in their Indian get-ups. :-) We have been reading The Story of Thanksgiving and Dominic was quite impressed that he looked just like the little boy in the book with his head dress. Unfortunately, by the time I got to taking pictures of them, they were both tired, crabby, and generally uncooperative!

GO BUCKS!!!

Friday, November 16, 2007

Well, dare I even type this...? My baby has slept through the night the last six (count them... SIX) nights. I cannot tell you how much sweeter and more precious my darling baby looks after an entire nights' rest. ;-) Unfortunately, he has super crabby during the DAY the last couple days to compensate and has officially won the "Super Puker" title. We aren't sure what is going on in that department, but his doctor wants him back on the reflux medicine. On the subject of puking, it's funny how easily you can disgust a childless friend by catching baby barf in your hand before it hits the sofa. ;-) As I always say (well, maybe have said for the last 3-1/2 years or so...), a hand is much easier to clean than upholstery. Hehe.

How to run an errand...

How to go to Target without children... Drive to store, select and purchase needed items, drive home (perhaps stopping for a leisurely cup of coffee on the way to/from)...

How to go to Target with children... Debate for several days whether a trip to the store is absolutely necessary anyway, try to come up with alternate plans of action to avoid the store at all (e.g., use Kleenex instead of toilet paper, shampoo for dish detergent, etc.). When a trip to the store is, in fact, deemed absolutely imperative (all Kleenex have already been used as TP), make a shopping list. Get interrupted 10,000 times while making list and start new list. Repeat. Gather 3-4 partially completed lists and haphazardly compose as one master list using staples, tape, or Dora the Explorer Bandaids. Plan to leave the house at 10am for said errands. Leave at precisely 12:48 after repeated requests for snacks, diaper changes, nursings, etc. Arrive at store. Circle parking lot approimately 5 times waiting for a good spot to open. Unbuckle and get out three-year-old repeatedly saying, "Stand RIGHT by me!" as he is distracted by cars' mud flaps, trucks, and any insect within a 20 foot radius. Get baby out. Walk to store. Remember after children are in cart (as three-year-old screams he is TOO BIG for the cart) that you left some essential shopping item in car. It doesn't matter what the item is (wallet, list, etc.) - it's just left in your car. Retrieve item and begin shopping. Detour to snack bar after repeated requests for "popcorn!" and to keep three-year-old content in cart. Select one item (after choosing an alternate because they are out of the exact thing you need), pick up crying baby. Return to snack bar to nurse baby. Deny three-year-old's repeated requests to throw something in the trash can. Resume shopping, while carrying still-unsatisfied infant, and pushing cart (yes, the one with the squeaky wheels that veers to the right). Hurriedly gather remaining items on list(s) whilst promising child a visit to the toy department if he can behave. Victoriously scratch last item off list and head toward said toy department. Mentally pound head against wall as baby poops his pants. Visit bathroom with crying child, forced to leave toy department against his will. Change baby and head to checkout line. Wait in line for a godforsaken amount of time (new cashier). Wait in line even longer as new cashier calls management because she doesn't know how to process a coupon. Meanwhile, child pulls approximately 38 rolls of Breathsavers off of the shelf. Leave Target, head toward car. Get children buckled in. Remember forgotten item. Begin new list.

I know, I know... You don't have to tell me how ridiculously cute my baby is! :-D He is 11 weeks old today and, when he wants to be (!!!), he is so smiley and happy. He's beginning to discover his hands and feet, too, which is the cutest thing EVER!


Dad and Adrian catching up on world news... (Being a baby is serious business!)
