Bables Firsts: playdate
Silas had his baby friend Truett over last week.  Looks like they hit it off: Truett is a month younger than Silas…sure doesn’t show does it? :) The funny thing about getting together with other moms and babies is that you never have a complete conversation. It’s total ADD because half (if not more) of your attention is taken up with your child.  Even when the kid is just...

I know I love Silas more than I’ve ever loved a living thing for many reasons. One of them: I care about his poop. I talk about it. I inspect it to make sure all is well. I’ve even sent Mr. Ables a picture of it via camera phone. He asked to see it because I changed quite a productive diaper while we were chatting. His words: “I don’t think I’ve ever heard that...

Bluum Baby of the Week
Hey, all. I feel kind of silly doing this, but also sort of excited.  Silas is up for Bluum’s Baby of the Week! If you don’t mind, would you head over to Bluum’s Facebook page by clicking here and voting for Silas boy by “liking” his picture? Thanks for helping out..and for reading this silly blog in the first place.

four months old
Okay, Father Time. Slow the heck on down. I cannot believe I am the mother of a four month old baby.  (okay, fine.  Four and a half month old baby)  Sweet Silas boy, you are growing up so fast.  And man oh man…you are one happy baby. You like: to move it move it (much rather be up and carried than down on the floor.  If your crib had a motor and wheels and could do laps around our...
