Sanity Breaks for Mom


Yesterday, for the first time, he took the bottle! Granted, it was Mommy's beverage, but it worked!! Now we'll see if I can make an 'escape' one of these days.... He actually took 2 bottles, 1 in the a.m., when I was experimenting, and then at his last feeding, with Dad. Both times I had to "step in" with the real thing to give a little extra, and perhaps, reassurance.
Ahhh, the swing~ This, as it turns out, has been a "life saver"! I can now do things like cook, eat, shower, run down to the laundry room- basically, leave baby unattended for lengths of time, without him fussing! I set up the radio on classical, 99.5 f.m. so he's getting a music education at the same time. In fact, he's in there right now, as I update the blog! Thank-you to Auntie Wendy for letting us borrow it! :D

August 22nd

Today, Katie came to visit us and meet Andrew for the first time! It wasn't easy for her: she lives 2 hours away in Greenfield + had to find a sitter for all 3 kids! Thankfully, Nathaniel and Ella will be starting school so we'll be able to see each other more often.My little munchkin. Katie loves lions & tigers so Andy wore this outfit. He outgrew his newborn outfits & now is out of most of the 3 month sizes... Onto 3-6 months!
We went for a stroll along the Charles (swamp in background, coffees in hand).
And saw this cool painted turtle (a few of them!)...
This morning, look what Andrew accomplished in his play pen!
He was very excited! His favorite thing to look at is the frog :D
He likes its eyes and coos and smiles at it.
