A Phase I Could Do Without

See that cute little guy? The one extremely happy to be playing with his mom (and chewing on a pencil)? He doesn't love me anymore.

For going on two weeks, the only person BB wants is his dad. I took it in stride the first week or so; I know this is just a phase. But the other night, when he pushed me away and wouldn't let me rock him, I cried a little bit.

Back Off, Devo

Billy and I get a kick out of trying BB's baby food. The peas, green beans, squash, etc., taste remarkably like, well, peas, green beans, squash, etc. A few of the stage 2 mixed fruits have even been quite delicious. However, I learned this weekend that the chicken with chicken gravy does not taste delicious - and it smells like Devo's dog food.

What I Learned this Week: 7-Month-Olds aren't Stationary

More evidence that you have to watch babies All.The.Time.

Since when does BB crawl up steps and pull himself into a standing position?

Needless to say, there was some serious baby-proofing going on around our house this weekend.

What I Learned Last Week

Prunes do in fact have laxative-like powers.

What I Learned this Week: Teething

This week I learned that I don't have the stamina, patience or energy to have twins - because of the lovely little period called teething. If I can't soothe this little boy's pain, how the heck could I handle two babies?

My hat is off to all of you out there raising twins.
