a southern spin on the nor'easter

it's snowing today - 2nd time this fall. it's not real snow - more like flurries that melt as soon as they hit the ground and the sun is out. i think i'm going to like the weather here...

I...am...so...tired...

if i had been able to pull together a coherent sentence the past 6 1/2 weeks and had been posting on a regular basis, this is what the title of almost every post would be. last night sucked. baby j was up every hour and a half and then j was up at 6 am to leave early for work and then little miss k came into my room at 6:45 am. this is when i really need to skip over the decaf and head straight for the hard core stuff - nursing be damned...

Baby book - soft copy style

ok - i still need to buy a baby book for baby j. until then, i'll have to use this to remember the big milestones that i have already forgotten with t-man and little miss k. so here's my first online entry - baby j officially smiled last night at 6 weeks and 3 days! i can't remember with little miss k but i do remember t-man smiling at 5 weeks and 3 days (i still remember this because that was when i decided we would keep our very colicky first child).



i admit i've been on a mission to get her to smile the past week because she has been lagging. i read that babies smile between 4 and 6 weeks and i know that my first 2 had smiled around now so i've been a bit anxious. also i wanted to prove that i'm not a bad mom to my 3rd child - that i'm not completely ignoring her while referee-ing between my 2 older hoodlums and that i'm not providing a completely unstimulating environment. poor baby j.



P.S. - the wait was worth it, she's got a pretty damn cute smile in my humble opinion...
