Her milkshake brings all the dinos to the yard

June 10th, 2010

Sam’s starting to be a little more like a baby and less like, well, like a blob. He’s staying awake for longer periods of time. Granted, they mostly occur between the hours of 10:30pm and 3:00am, but STILL. He’s cooing and interacting and generally being more fun than, well, a blob.

Maddie still adores him. She wants to feed him and burp him and hold him and hug and kiss him. (“I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George!”) She’s super helpful and loves to put his pacifier back in his mouth for the 8793485734 time in an hour or run to his room and get me yet ANOTHER burp cloth for Spitty McPukesalot.

I managed to take both kids to a playdate with my new mom’s group this morning. It went Very Well and I feel like some kind of Super Mom. We came home, both kids had lunch and now they’re napping. I feel like just maybe I might get the hang of this. (Which we all know is the worst possible thing I could’ve written because now The Universe must smite me for my prideful boast and my life will be a complete shit storm for the next week as punishment.)

And just because it makes me laugh every damn time I see it, here’s a picture of Maddie nursing her dinosaurs. She refuses to play with any of her baby dolls and instead nurtures the hell outta these guys. It’s sweet and twisted all at the same time.

    That picture is possibly the awesomest thing I’ve ever seen. So glad things are starting to come together for your family! I hope you guys are able to keep it up.

    I spit hot coffee through my nose. It burned – but this is PRICELESS. Please frame for the first boy to come haunting your door wanting to date your Maddie!

    LOVE that picture. OMG she is going to hate that picture when she’s 14, which makes it even more awesome.

    Also, I love you for “I want to hug him and squeeze him and call him George.”

    That is the best picture ever. Nursing dinosaurs. That’s even better than Eli pretending to be pregnant all the time lately.

    Seriously, that picture is just about the most awesome thing I’ve seen in awhile. And, I hope the Universe wasn’t reading, and will give you a pass! YAY for making it to play group!

    Yes! I love that Supermom feeling. Keep going to your moms club stuff – I finally found my niche in my group. There are 50 moms, so naturally we’re not ALL friends, but there’s a good solid group that I can call friends (and many of them have signed up to bring dinner to me in the coming weeks!

    Aw. She has TWINS.

    Fraternal, by the looks of it, but STILL.

    Congratulations, Granny.
