The Rundown

It has been a long time since I blogged! Here is the rundown of all the blog topics and personal anecdotes that I "thought about blogging" since my last post.

  • It takes less than a week to go from a "he's perfectly healthy" diagnosis at a well-baby visit to "he has pink eye, two ear infections, a cold, and the start of a sinus infection."
  • After two infernal weeks of constant "dada" salutations, I was greeted yesterday with a big "momma!" He has yet to say it again...
  • No matter how old (or busy) you get, it is always good to make new friends.
  • One of the hardest parenting lessons to date: You've got to let him fall. No matter how hard it is to watch your awkward, wobbly semi-standing baby, he isn't going to learn if you rush across the room to catch him every time he barely starts swaying. So hard!
  • I'm detoxing from my addiction to Coke/Dr Pepper products, regular and diet. I'm operating on the current mindset that I shouldn't add any unnecessary chemicals to my body. I'm serious, I think about Cokes all the time! They are my cure all. Headache, drink a Coke. Tired, drink a Coke. Bored, drink a Coke. Just like Windex on My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
  • A Baby Story can be so disturbing. Just barely a week after a friend detailed watching a rather shocking water birth (with placenta saving), I watched an episode today where a guy was actually giving his cats a bath. No kidding!
  • HDTV is pretty cool. Our new 52-inch TV is ready for the Super Bowl. Party anyone?

And thank you for getting "Informer" into my head for the past two days.
