General overall cuteness

Sparks

This thing with Sadie's getting more intense.  It's like we know what the other's thinking. I've never felt this way before... complete comfort and total synergy.  

Babies Who Lunch

Eight-Hour Boy!

I did it, I did it! Slept 8-hours straight. My parents have never kissed me so much, so hard.

Really, we're just friends

Sadie and I are pals from way back - like almost 2 weeks ago. Sometimes i wonder whether we could ever be more than friends, but i can't let myself go there right now. It'd be too weird. So i'm just gonna play it cool and see where things go. 

Our Moms are Freaks

And we've got the video to prove it: 

So suddenly I've made fast friends with a bunch of different babies born in June. Apparently all you gotta do is pay $75 to the woman who owns this store in the neighborhood, she puts you on a listserve - and boom! - instant friends.  My mom swore she'd never join, but... (I'm seeing a pattern here.) These moms, they barely know each other's names or what they do for a living, and yet they spill their guts about all kinds of crazy things from gas (ours, not theirs) to clogged milk ducts. The one thing they seem to have in common is being completely clueless when it comes to motherhood -- the great equalizer.  (I'm the Zen Master in the blue birdie onesie - clearly my father's son...)

Swaddle Talk

Fair readers (all 14 of you)-

My apologies for the lapse in communication. I was already behind when our cable/phone/Internet went down for almost a week, which made my web-dependent parents go a bit batty (Time Warner be damned). We missed out on all kindsa stuff- including the Bill Clinton/Al Gore reunion in N. Korea.

As for me, gosh, so much has happened... In no particular order:

- I passed the 10-pound mile-marker
- Had my two-month vaccines (i was tough as nails)
- Within five hours of posting to the Park Slope Parents listserve (another group my mom swore she'd never join), got the deal of the century: a brand new(ish) swing - with working mobile!
- Outgrew a bunch of clothes
- As you've probably noticed, I've gotten more chatty
- Started sleeping 7 hrs at night (!!) (I'm told that's a big one)
- Graduated to size 1 swaddlers (mom learned this the hard way when my poop exploded up the back and out the sides of my
shorts at a very fine lunch establishment)
- Too many playdates to count

I'm sure there's more, but those are the biggies.

Oh, and I saw my first movie (Funny People, rated-R, 11 AM screening). Mom and I sat in the way back (I hung out under her hooter-hider) and anytime I made the slightest sound, she just shoved boob in my mouth, and I got more milk! That worked really well for a while, but after getting jacked up on too much dairy, I let a big one rip during the only silent part of the movie. The five other people in the theater turned around and naturally assumed it was my mom - the only person they could see. So I did it again just to screw with everyone.

That’s pretty much what I’ve been up to. Photos of said milestones (and more!) below (and in Older Posts at the way, way bottom).

2 Month's Old!

Good Vibrations

I'm starting to get way more into my bouncer - just didn't have the emotional maturity a few weeks back to appreciate its full potential.

See See My Playdates

Beatrice is so sensitive.  One fresh remark (it wasn't even that bad) and she let me have it...
