Month One

The first month- pretty much diaper changes, diaper changes, and more diaper changes. That's all I remember from the first month. Oh- and getting peed on All. The. Time. I guess I breastfed somewhere in there and supposedly we slept a little. I honestly don't remember. Oh--except for week 3. Because that's when the crying started. Welcome, colic!

You know, Stella has been surprisingly great with the baby. We were a little worried at first, especially she has been known to ever so gently nip our guests (sorry about that, Mindi. Oh, and Jami. And of course, Lenny. and that UPS guy on T Street). At any rate, we love that mutt, totally insane though she is, and we were super anxious about how she'd react to a bambino. But thankfully, she has been AWESOME! She loves the baby, and acts very maternal towards him. When he cries, she is the first one in the room. She is constantly trying to groom him ,and if we let her, she'd probably try to carry him around by the nape of his neck like a puppy. So to all you doubters out there (Aunt Marianne)-- Stella did NOT eat the baby. Yet. :)
