  • Jordan's latest 5.1.09 SHOES is her new favorite word, and a totally new and exciting concept. I've quickly discovered the joy of velcro or elastic straps, as Jordan has no patience for mommy tying her precious little Keds. FISH - she now points at pictures, and the ones in the pond. So cute. YEP - when you ask if she wants to do something, this is generally her response. She also says NO, but usually it is a good natured "Yep". Drums - Jordan has always loved drums. They are her favorite toys. Now, she will pull 4 or 5 of them into a semi-circle around her, and will use 2 mallets to play them all, 3 taps at a time. She is bound to be a famous percussionist. Rocks - Since mastering her walking skills, we let her walk more and more often. Our driveway is gravel, and it is so appealing to her. It's like a gigantic sandbox - we put her down, and she immediately sits and plays with the rocks. She tried to eat one, and it was obviously distasteful, as she spit it out and hasn't tried again. She points out my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and says the word for each. What a smart little girl. Have you figured out yet that she is the love of my life, and not only that, but also a genius????

Oh woe are the tender red nipples They shy at the sight of the pump The baby has bit them to bleeding They’d like woop her on the rump Her teeth are like sharp stones of flint And her jaws remind mom of a gator They gnash and they slice and they chomp The boobs [...]

OWWWWCH!!!

Posted on February 3, 2009 by smashmom

Okay – something has got to give. See the TEETH on this child??? She is using them. And I’m not sure what to do about it, given the circumstances. What I am sure of, is that my boobs have taken enough abuse over the past 10 months. This may just be the last straw. The [...]

The thing about milk

Posted on January 26, 2009 by smashmom

I think that there is no endeavor so complicated and confusing as that of breastfeeding. Don’t get me wrong, I am a believer. I do steadfastly agree that giving a baby breast milk is one of the greatest gifts that a mother can give her child. Besides all of the research, it is quite simply, [...]
