Two bells tied onto some scraps of fabric. Watch baby go bonkers. Proceed.
I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

Ok, Seriously, I think Henry is singing this song in his head 24/7. I thought babies needed to be held, cuddled, fed, and basically have everything done for them.
Psh. Not my son.
If it were up to him, I think Henry would move out and get his own place. He wants to to everything for himself. He recently has started refusing to eat if he is in anyone's arms. In order to eat, he wants to be put down with his head as far away from me as possible and drink his bottle in peace. Most of the time he tries to hold his bottle himself, too.
When eating is rice cereal, he wants to hold the spoon. If I don't let him, he pouts. WTF?
When I know baby is tired, I try to give him cuddles and rock him in my arms. Nope. He arches his back so fiercely and tries to wiggle out of my arms. He does this until I put him down and he puts himself to sleep.
I guess I shouldn't complain about having an independent kid, but if only he could change his diapers himself, we'd be all set.

Boogers
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Who ever thought a nose so little could have so many boogers? Baby boogers freak me out. They're stringy and what looks like a tiny booger can turn into a huge slime-ball out of nowhere.
Somehow baby boogers is a topic that has come up multiple times between myself and some of the moms I chat with. Turns out there are many methods moms use to evict boogers from their baby's noses.
My favorite method is dad removal. This is where I wait until Tom is alone with the baby and hopefully takes care of the booger without me ever knowing.
The next and only other acceptable form of booger retrieval is the little bulb sucker thing. You know what I mean... This thing:
It's usually not too gross and removes the booger so I don't have to see it. Henry never seems to enjoy having this bulb shoved up his nose, but I'm sure breathing better makes it worth while.
Now. I had no idea there was a third form of retrieval. One mom brought this to my attention and I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Basically its a long tube that one end goes in the babys nose and the other end in someone's mouth ( I say someone because that someone would never be me ). The person then sucks into the tube like a straw and sucks the boogers out. Check it out:
Gross. Sick. Unacceptable.
Why would anyone choose to do this when the bulb thing works fine? What the hell is the point?
Someone please explain this nonsense to me.

First Weekend Alone! ( with just Hen and Dad )
Friday, April 15, 2011
With the exception of a day here and there, I haven't been apart from Stef and Henry for more than 48 hours! To make this weekend even more interesting I have never had Henry by myself for more than a few hours! I am not really worried but I am going to miss the heck out of Stef while she is with her family for the weekend in Chicago. I am also cheating a little bit by spending some time with my parents and brothers but even if I wasn't I am pretty comfortable with the little guy alone unless Demon Baby shows up...
However, as lonely as Henry and I will be without Stef, we already can't wait for her to come back!
Hot Mess

Instead of feeling sorry for myself as I usually do, I really just feel bad for him. Something obviously is chapping his ass so bad that he can hardly breathe between screams.
Yikes.
