My boy: the Human Garbage Disposal


My son will officially eat anything offered to him at any time of the day, regardless of the time of his last feeding. It used to be, as babies go, he would eat every 4-5 hours and this satisfied him. Now, we’re lucky to get 2 happy hours out of him before it’s chow time again. This kid is going through the biggest growth spurt of his life (so far) and yes, I’ve considered a feed bag. Here you go Little Elly, chomp away at your leisure, I’ll be over here.

All in all, of course, this is a very good thing, as you well know from my previous rantings about his not-so-hot 9 month doctor’s appointment. I do believe he’s gained almost 2 pounds since then. When you’re total body weight i sonly 15 pounds, then adding two is a pretty big deal. I just wish that food wasn’t the only thing that could keep him happy; it’s beginning to become tedious.

In other domestic news, Ash is out at Lowes looking for all things gutters and also, tubing to redirect water. You know – fun stuff for home improvement, which you probably couldn’t care less about. Hell, today I don’t even care and I normally LOVE me some home repair/improvement. No, today I have swept and washed floors – a complete and total MUST when you have a mobile child – and I plan on doing little else besides some laundry and minor tidying. I don’t know about you but when we have company – be it one person or five – my house becomes so cluttered.

Anywho, the menfolk return and I gotta get busy.
