1. Zantac is a wonderful thing. Brenden is doing much better – now he only cries at normal baby things – like dirty diapers and not wanting to be put down.
\n2. My mom made the coolest nursing cover up thing – it even has a pocket!
\n3. The cover up thing has given me the freedom to take B out in public for longer stretches. There was a time when I thought I would never be able to leave the house for more than an hour. That really limits your options.
\n4. Nordstrom’s at the Galleria has a great family room for feeding. So does the Cedar Hill mall – and most Dillard’s have really nice seats in the women’s room, too. I think I’m going to know about all the rooms at my local public places, like I did the bathrooms while I was pregnant. You could name a store and I would know where their women’s room is!
\n5. Sitting in the nursing room at church is a weird experience. It’s usually empty, so I’m experiencing corporate worship all alone. And a lot of people don’t realize that the “mirrors” are actually windows, so I see lots of people fixing their hair.
\n6. Brenden has started smiling for real, and he even laughs in his sleep. However, his default look is still very serious.
\n7. He’s looking more and more like his dad – down to the default serious face. Especially when they are both asleep.
\n8. Tonight I’m going to women’s bible study and Andy is going to the men’s, so B gets to experience the nursery for the first time. I’m trying to remember all the little things that annoyed me while I was working in the nursery so I don’t do them.
\n9. He’s still not sleeping through the night – I think we’re a long way off from that. But he only usually wakes up once in the middle of the night, which is nice. I’ve started watching a lot of the Food Network at 3 in the morning.
\n10. The boy is LONG – he’s wearing 3-6 month outfits already, just because the other ones are too short! We couldn’t button the 0-3 onesies anymore. And it seems he’s about to go through another growth spurt since he’s eating so often.
\n11. He really wants to roll over onto his stomach, but he hates tummy time. This could get interesting!
\n12. I’ve been trying to go through his toys and see what he likes, but nothing has sparked his interest. He’s more interested in the curtains or the changing table. Go figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
