Spring Walk

And remember,

Crazy Baby = Crazy Mom

I know, I know - I shouldn't wait to send off the taxes until the last day. But, I figured that all I had left to do was check over the math, seal them all up, and walk over to the neighborhood post office. Right. A shrieking baby makes simple addition and subtraction somewhat difficult. Hah!



We finally made it to the post office in the afternoon; at least the Little Dude enjoyed the stroll! Perhaps the shrieking indicates that he's bored? Or perhaps he is challenging me and the cats to a screaming contest, of sorts. The cats usually prefer quiet baby - poor Lotus was awakened from her slumber multiple times today (sorry, Lotus! Perhaps he'll be quieter tomorrow?).

New baby tricks? Well, Boy Friday likes to play on the floor with his toys and is pushing himself up pretty far. No belly off the ground, yet, though. Apparently his booster seat/high chair indicates "time to shriek at the top of my lungs." Until some food is found that he's interested in, anyhow. Chester is VERY interested in the little guy's meat sticks. One of these days I'm going to find him sitting on the tray chowing down. Oh, and the Little Dude has discovered cabinets - he can reach the handles from his chair! I'll check through my videos and see if there's anything fun, but the little guy seems to know what I'm doing and stops anything interesting as soon as I point the camera at him.

Teething Pains.

We've had some teething issues this past week (or so it seems)! One night Baby Friday woke up and cried for almost an entire half-hour. Bummer. Poor little dude. It doesn't look like any new teeth are in just yet - I'm hoping for soon. The Little Dude has also been practicing his screamy voice lately - you know, all day long. Oh boy! The shrieking is somewhat taxing on the human (and cat) ears. We're hoping for a calmer, more playful, less um...noisy baby soon. Sure.



Tigger says "Happy Easter!"



There is some (minor) evidence that we are, in fact, in SPRING and not WINTER. The snow that fell yesterday all melted before noon today. And there is some plant growth, even!
