I admit it.  I have a pretty bad case of the new mom over­whelmed.  Maybe it’s not even a bad case, it could be a per­fectly aver­age case, but either way it is tak­ing a toll on me.  I’ve been get­ting out dur­ing the day, try­ing to get out with just Sher­man, try­ing to be […]

I guess I under­stand John McCains cur­rent rally strategy…I mean going and not hear­ing about “Joe the plumber” is like if you went to a Jour­ney con­cert and they didn’t play “Don’t Stop Believen” …   
Except that Jour­ney rocks and John McCain…well he’s just an ass.

Eli­jah and I went out today.  Great morn­ing for a walk but also to see an old friend. 
Sher­man and my anniver­sary is on Mon­day.  Our wed­ding anniver­sary.  We have other anniver­saries though, days that we should have writ­ten down, the ones that were big for us.  For exam­ple, the first time I told Sherman […]

Well, Ijah has a full cos­tume now…not a bad one I don’t think…he isn’t sure what to think of it at all…

I got Sher­man an anniver­sary present yes­ter­day.  I’m excited about it and keep try­ing to tor­ment him into want­ing to open it.  He is a rock, he isn’t tempted at all.  We did have a fun game of “Itsa” last night though.
You know…“Itsa”
Itsa elec­tron microscope…a mum­mi­fied finger.…a folded up Swiss flag.…the worlds small­est accordion…you know…stuff […]

Yes­ter­day was a bad day.  The kiddo has been cranky for a cou­ple days, you’d think that I would be fine with this sur­viv­ing colic and all, but hon­estly I think it’s worse because it is unex­pected and I don’t know whats caus­ing it.  Maybe he’s hun­gry, could be teething, who knows…it could also be […]

I am glad I can blow my own nose.  It is a skill I had never really thought about, but hav­ing a baby makes me appre­ci­ate.  I find that I am on booger patrol a lot, Ijah has had a stuffy nose pretty steady for a cou­ple weeks so I try to keep things clear […]

Nope, we don’t have a car, no SUV, no minivan…we do how­ever have the mother of all strollers…I mean if this thing was a car it would get like 7 miles per gal­lon.  But the cargo space…seriously…I’ve had cars that can hold less…

I am a fan of breast­feed­ing in gen­eral.  Its good for the baby, good for me, con­ve­nient, and free.  It is, how­ever, quite strange on occa­sion.  This even more so as Ijah gets big­ger and more…well…person like. 
Ideal sit­u­a­tion: Baby in jam­mies or some sort of cute baby jumper thing qui­etly sits in lap feeding, […]
