Matiss has found a new calling.

As a comedian. A baby comedian.

Lukas has a new trick.

1. Roll over onto stomach.

2. Take a moment to absorb new perspective. Then, because you're not sure how you got there, or how to get back, panic.

3. Repeat several times a day.

5 things I learned at dinner last night.

1. Babies poo anytime, anywhere...including the nice restaurant you're at, right before dinner arrives.

2. Even though you win paper-rock-scissors to decide who gets to clean the dude, and despite the fact that there aren't any change tables in EITHER bathroom, you will likely be the one cleaning the babe, since you're the mommy.

3. Changing a baby with no changetable sucks.

4. Make no mistake - the one time you don't bring your big-ass diaper bag with you (the one with the wipes and the change of clothes) will surely be the time the baby has a serious assplosion and needs both the wipes and the change of clothes.

5. Wet paper towels do not clean poo. They merely smear the poo around.

Oh, and after all that, I managed to get puked on while holding the baby for two seconds, while Matiss paid the bill. Yup.

The Sound of Silence

What does one DO when one has some free time? It's been so long since I've had an hour to myself, that I'm not sure what to do with it. The baby sleeps soundly for a change, so I've caught up on my email, styled my hair (despite the fact that I'm not going anywhere today), and had a real lunch. Now I sit, staring at a computer screen, trying to figure out what to do with myself. How is this possible? I've craved some free time for weeks...now I have it (bless you, baby swing!), and I find that I'm actually BORED. It appears that striking a balance in the madness of motherhood is harder than I thought. Oh well...here are some baby pictures to help you pass the time.

Lukas learning how to eat...mmmmmmm


Also bored, and trying to occupy himself


Hamming it up!
