First Post

I have joined 2008 and started a mommy blog. Now all of Jack's (and my) adventures can be recorded on the internet like normal moms do. ;)

But I'm a little late, huh? My son is seven months old. Okay....quick update:
After a near perfect pregnancy, Jack was born on February 13th, 2008 at Bryn Mawr Birth Center. He was born five days over due in the middle of an ice storm during morning rush hour traffic. Jack wanted to make an entrance. He was fashionably late.

Since that day, Jack has mastered breastfeeding, pooping and wiggling. He can also roll over, sit up and crawl. He went through a squealing phase at about four or five months old. I bet the neighbors thought we were killing kittens in our apartment. Now he mostly just babbles.

He found his hands in April. Almost immediately after, he found his feet. To this day he still enjoys nibbling both. Currently, Jack's favorite body part is his penis. Typical man.

He has grown almost eight inches and gained nine pounds since birth. He also sprouted ungodly amounts of hair and two cute little teeth. Watch out! This kid bites. (What kid doesn't, huh?)

Jack is his given name, but this child had many aliases. The most common of these is Bean. He also goes by Wiggle Pants, Wiggle Worm, Munchkin, Scrunchkin, Stinker Pants, and Monchichi.

Sometimes we think Jack might have Pica. He wants to eat everything but food. He has rejected rice cereal, peaches, avocado, peas, cheerios, watermelon, applesauce and bananas. The only three things he will eat are lemons, butternut squash soup, and large quantities of breast milk.

Jack's best friends are his cousin Madi, our cat Holly, his stuffed fish Fishy and his parents. He enjoys long walks, boobs, Sex and the City, and rubber duckies.

That about sums it up, I think. :)
