Do You Mind?

I'm trying to have tummy time.

Should I Spin the Wheel or Eat My Hand?

Pool Time!

Yesterday afternoon we slathered you with sunscreen and headed out for your first trip to the pool. I wish I could say for certain that you had a good time, but from the look on your face it appears that you simply tolerated it.




You did a lot of things at the pool. First you splashed with mommy...




Then you snuggled with your daddy.




You played with your hat in the water.




Then you walked on water (kind of).




You spent a little time working on your tan.




And topped off the whole experience with a nice nap on the living room floor.

Lefty Ate An Entire Tube of Bottom Butter

Look At You!

You continue to amaze us. Today I put you in your exersaucer thinking that I could buy myself a couple of minutes to wipe down the kitchen counters. I know you're still a little small for the contraption, but I needed a place to put you and the exersaucer was nearby. Turns out you're not too small for it. Your little feet barely touched the bottom, but you really liked playing with all the little toys attached to it.



You spent a good half hour bouncing up and down and drooling (literally) over the all the toys within your reach.



Your dad taught you how to spin the little spinny thing. It was pretty neat to watch you learn something that your dad taught you.

It's My First Mother's Day

Nightmares

It seems almost every TV show I've seen since giving birth to you has involved some kind of injured or murdered baby. But it wasn't until I got my beloved People Magazine last week that I began having nightmares. The story was about twin boys who have some horrible heart condition. One of them received a transplant and the story ends. What I couldn't get over was the sidebar detailing where he got his new heart. Apparently the donor heart came from a 4-month-old who was accidentially smothered by a pillow during nap time.

I knew as I read the article that I shouldn't have been reading the article, but I couldn't tear myself away from it. Thus followed two nights of waking up in a panic to check on you. I seem to have moved past the nightmares with only a few short-term side effects (a cranky disposition for a few days and a sore backside from hours of sitting in your rocking chair watching you sleep), but I can't help but think this is just the first of several nightmare episodes I'll have about you.

Why can't People Magazine just focus on the important stories, like an in-depth investigative report on why Nick and Jessica split?

Marshall's Competition

Hello Hank!

You Can Always Count On Guillory...

To Photoshop inappropriate objects into an otherwise adorable, innocent photo. Is that a domestic brew or one of those fancy European lagers?

Georgia's Opinion on Amoxicillin

You are 12 weeks old today, and to celebrate you had a double...double ear infections, that is. Although clearly not a fan, it's important for you to take your medicine, so we trick you by hiding it in your bottles. How you don't like the bubble gum flavored remedy is beyond me. I remember begging for a sip from the pink bottle in the refrigerator when I was little. I wouldn't mind taking a pull now, to be quite honest...
