Ben's Latest Nickname for Dexter...

Stankasaurus Dex.

Oh, My Aching Wrists!

Lack of sleep, tender nipples, sore arm muscles, fewer showers, sporadic eating - I expected all of these discomforts to come along with the joys of motherhood. But I didn't expect my wrists to ache so badly! Between holding Dexter's head and my boob at feedings, my wrists feel like they are about to break! Last night they hurt so badly I couldn't lift Dexter out of his basket for the 3am feeding and Ben had to hand him to me and then put him back to bed. If anyone has any advice on how to stop this awful pain, please share!

the Pee Pee Incident

It wasn't the first time, and it won't be the last time, but yesterday's pee pee incident was worth sharing...I was changing Dexter's dirty poopy diaper, had wiped him clean and was preparing to put some Desitin on his red bum when suddenly I felt a warm liquid on my forehead. By the time I realized what was happening, Dexter's aim had shifted and he was peeing on his own head, arms and legs a'flailing. With my Desitin-covered hand, I tried to prevent the pee from getting all over his face but only succeeded in getting his hands and feet covered in Desitin. All I could do was laugh... then give him a bath and a fresh outfit.

Santa's Helper

Much to the amusement of neighbors and passers-by, My Bologna pulled home the Christmas tree on the red sled today.

Focus

Today Dexter focused his eyes on and reached out for a black & white cow hanging above his boppy! Everyday something new...

First Bath

He hated it.

Tummy Time

Tummy time is My Bologna's favorite way to interact with Dexter. Dexter doesn't mind it either. Yesterday, Dexter surprised My Bologna and me by turning over from his tummy to his back. Thinking it was a fluke, I turned him back onto his tummy and he did it again. He did it again today for Daddy. He's so strong already - how long before he's running and climbing?!
