You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I would like to report that:
1. I had my first Master of Finance exam today, and I'm feeling fairly optimistic.
2. Ryan is now three months and one day old, and still gorgeous. He now weighs almost exactly 7 kg (15 lbs 5 oz in Imperial); he's moved up from the top 25% mark to the top 10% mark for his age in height, weight and head circumference.
3. Ryan also slept through the whole night for the first time last night! This does nothing to diminish his gorgeousness.
4. I have fallen in love with baby yawns.
5. My younger brother is engaged, to a nursing student from Kenya. I found this out, not from him, but from my even younger brother. He found out, again not from the brother in question (with whom he works), but because said brother had changed his Facebook status. They have been dating for about a year and a half; they've been dating exclusively for roughly two months. I'm not sure what this says about my brother's attitude towards marriage, but I'm sure it's significant.
6. My nephew (the one who had an aneurysm) is getting close to crawling again, so he's almost recovered the motor skills he lost after said aneurysm.
7. My dad still hasn't come to visit his new grandson. We shall be teaching Ryan to call his maternal grandfather "Wàigōng", and his paternal grandfather "Slacker Grandpa".
All in all, this feels like a pretty productive week.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Moving in the heat sucks. Hopefully, the move to Vermont will be in perfect weather, the drive will be scenic and not too stressful and askye will be more awake than I was for the drive from AZ to MN. When it happens.

This is wonderful to hear.

These are also good.

Handsome Glambaby!
Sleepy Ryan!
May your move go smoothly, askye, and the next one to Vermont happen soon.
I bought a used Bumbo seat for Kalee off the local parents' listserv and she lectured us all through dinner from her new throne. It was hilarious. Then I had to sign off the listserv because some people are convinced that the gov't is going to force us all to get swine flu shots filled with mercury that will turn all our children into zombies. or something. I stopped reading.

BT, I'm so glad your nephew is doing so well. And yay for Ryan continuing to be so adorable.

move out and draw fire
I don't see what people like that are worried about; sounds like they are zombies already.

I cannot stop watching the shiny new TV. I didn't realize how crappy the old TV truly was.

That's sort of how I feel about my new mattress. I woke up for the second morning in a row today with no back pain at all. I hadn't realized that waking up achy had become my normal state until it stopped.

When we're in that kind of mood we just call him "Rough Justice".
