i'm a weird mom. everyone around me with babies say that 'it's all going too fast'. for me, it's not going fast enough. i really can't wait until he starts to talk (... more than the current "boom!" and "pappa") and until i can read him children's books. not that i can't show him books now and tell stories, but he really preferes eating books over looking at them.
i guess i'm not really a baby person. shhh - don't tell the mommy maffia.

people are stupid
so when you're a parent you tend to frequent baby forums. i did anyway, until a couple of weeks ago. i now avoid them like the plague. the stupidty - the utter, mind-boggling stupidty displayed on these forums scares the shit out of me. people are weird, they are paranoid, they're extremely judgemental and completely ignorant.
and, mind you - these people are raising future grown-ups. SCARY, HUH?!!
it's a good thing there are still parents like me, to balance things out.
THAT WAS A JOKE.

spring is here!
it's my baby and i think he's the sweetest thing on the planet. he got so excited at the sight of the branches of the trees, with the sun peaking through them.
and....
yes, we shaved off his hair. GASP! MURDER! FIRE! EVIL PARENTS!
(in my defense: we needed to, to treat the rash on his head - which he gets from Other Foods, like this, apparently 'yucky', apple sauce)

baby talk
so we couldn't postpone it any longer - yannick is getting other Foods besides milk.
... and he hates it.
it's quite obvious he's not satisfied with Just Milk though, so i insist he eats his fruit and vegetables (and today even some rice and chicken. woohoo!), and every one of those 'meals' (give or take 10 mini-spoons) are a struggle. if he really, really dislikes what's for dinner, he'll throw up. and i never know in advance, cause one day he'll love apple, the next it's all over the wall.
what worries me is that you can really tell that it affects his breathing. it's wet and heavy. i hope he grows out of it soon. his skin is itching as well and chips/cracks/?. poor baby. i wish i had all the breastmilk in the world to keep feeding him. but my boobies are kaput. and to be honest, the little guy is so tall for his age, i wonder if he would have been satisfied with Just Boob Milk.
did i tell already that he's been saying some stuff for the last month or so? 'pappa' and 'hi' so far. it's quite cute. other than that, he's been himself: he only rolls over if we put him on his stomach because he Hates that, he won't sit unless he sees a bottle of milk in front of him (although i must say that he has better abs than i do - he sits up without pulling or anything, just from the gut), he'll try crawling from time to time, but who needs that when you have wooden floors and you can just slide on your back?
anyway- enough with the boring post. gotta give the little guy his fix.
