Andy-Proofing

Our fridge is now sporting this stylish new buckle. Andy keeps getting into the fridge for juice. We never had this problem with Kate.

Sometimes you can't grab the camera.

"Don't get mad, take pictures!" is a phrase some of you might be familiar with from the scrapbooking (and blogging) world. If, for example, you discover that your child has decorated himself with your stamping ink, or covered the kitchen floor in plastic baggies, just treat it as a photo op!

The other day, when I was working on lunch, I discovered Andy squatting next to a pile of noodles in the middle of the living room carpet, with an empty colander beside him. I must admit that the camera was not the first thing that went through my mind. Whoops! Apparently I wasn't feeding him quickly enough.

Dozing with Daddy

Both of our kids have been extended nursers and co-sleepers, which means they end up nursing a lot at night.  It's a convenient arrangement in that nobody has to "get up" with the baby, but it does tend to drag on a bit.  Doug's been doing a really good job lately getting Andy to sleep at nap time and bedtime.  I'd say we've got him almost weaned. We just have to get over that last little hurdle.
