life with a new baby
Nom Nom Nom
He’s teething again… and biting anything and everything he can get those teeth on! We have all kinds of teethers that he can bite on, but he won’t use any of them. He prefers to nom on HIS OWN FINGERS and will even leave little teeth marks on his skin as evidence of his misery. Or he teethes on stuff he shouldn’t… like the coffee table. Or his crib rails. OR MY CHIN (yeah, that wasn’t very pleasant).

A pain in the neck
about 6 days ago - No comments
Owwwww. And I do mean OWWwwWWwww. Yes, I am complaining. My neck is killing me, thanks to my extremely strong-willed toddler. I initially hurt my neck in December… it sucked, but compared to how I feel now, the pain was more of an aggravating nuisance. I was trying to get Nathan into his car seat and he bucked up More >
The New Year is here!
about 1 month ago - No comments
I hope everyone had a happy New Year! Regretfully, I did not. But only because I had food poisoning from (I’m pretty sure) some gravy I ate for lunch on New Year’s Eve. I started feeling queasy 3-4 hours after I ate it… and then about 8 hours after consumption, it hit full force. I More >
I hate sickness
about 4 months ago - No comments
Wow, this has been such a long, stressful week. Nathan got really, really sick on Monday with a high fever that stayed between 104 and 105.3 degrees. I took him to the doctor who said he had a nasty virus and a respiratory infection. He tested negative for strep and the flu. I had never More >
The bigger the group, the better. For Nathan, anyway.

Nathan is in this phase where he LOVES to group all his toys together. Especially when said group happens to be somewhere rather inconvenient. Like in doorways. Because I have a bad habit of not watching where I’m going (I know, how can I do that with a toddler in the house?), I end More >
Getting back to normal
about 5 months ago - No comments
So it turns out that my ninja-warrior antibodies aren’t so ninja after all. Yeah, I got sick. That sore throat morphed into a head cold. But on the bright side, I am doing exponentially better today than I was yesterday. I still have some cold symptoms but I don’t have a fever or that feeling of More >
Go away sore throat!
about 5 months ago - No comments
My little guy has a bit of a cold that he’s (almost) passed on to me. I say almost because I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a really sore throat. Only that was not okay. You see, I have big plans this weekend with a friend of mine, so getting sick is absolutely More >
The sick germs are here…
about 8 months ago - No comments
Well we have had a very sick little boy on our hands. Yesterday evening was the worst. Little guy was breathing fast and had a fever of 103 along with lethargy and possible body aches (it’s hard to tell since he can’t talk, but he was rubbing his knees and joints as if they were hurting.) More >
Be careful who you sing to…
about 9 months ago - No comments
Whew, it’s been a rough past couple days. The good news is that I can finally chew food again! See, on Monday, Nathan was squatting on the ground in front of me. I bent over to pick something up, and he popped up faster than a flea on a hot skillet and slammed his head More >
Prayers for Japan
about 11 months ago - 2 comments
My heart aches for those who are dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake and ensuing tsunami in Japan. I just can’t imagine the pain they are going through. One minute, everything was fine. The next minute, many people lost everything. Their houses, their cars, their family members. Now they are poking through the remnants More >
Still sick…
about 11 months ago - No comments
Yesterday, I took Nathan to the doctor. The poor little guy has tonsillitis, bronchitis, and fluid in both of his years, but fortunately I took him to the doctor before it developed into an ear infection. Apparently, it’s all caused by a mycoplasma bacterial infection, which is also known as Walking Pneumonia. Only thankfully, it’s More >

Oh, I get this. A few days ago, Tankbaby was mad about something and went to bite my hand in frustration. I pulled it out of the way, and he ended up biting his own fingers. Poor baby–he was equal parts “Wow, it feels good to vent my frustration by biting,” and “Owww! Someone’s biting my fingers!!”

That’s hilarious! Those teeth can sometimes feel like miniature daggers! Oh, the things babies do when they’re frustrated. Aside from biting when things don’t go his way, Nathan will also shove whatever toys are nearby away from him. And then he’ll dramatically throw his arm over his eyes and bawl.

I am sorry that he’s chewing his own fingers! LOL @ him biting your chin though. (Sorry!) I love biting people’s chins still… LOL. Ok, I only get to bite my husband’s chin, but Jay Leno often looks quite tasty to me…

Those little teeth marks on his fingers break my heart, but I have tried and tried to get him to teethe on other things… but nothing works. Poor little guy. Biting my chin… not so pleasant either! He just looked up at me and leaned in really close like he was about to be sweet, and *WHAM!* bit the crap out of it.
