hkellick: Dad and Boy reading a Hannukah book together! (Robert)
The boy's still doing really well. Some meals he handles better than others, but he's still doing lightyears better than before we went on the expensive formula. We're all set to see the GI Specialist tomorrow at 3:00 (in fact, I'll be working from home tomorrow so that getting to the office is easier. I might be able to stop into Chat, but I won't, likely, be able to Chat all day. Working from home is hard.)

Truth be told, I'm not sure what the GI Specialists is going to suggest. We SUSPECT she's going to suggest K keep pumping and feed the boy a mixture of breast milk and the expensive formula in order to continue to put weight on him, but.. we'll see, I guess.

The boy's doing so well, we got to go out again Saturday and stop over at a friends' house to play games for a couple of hours. It was good.

We've been enjoying the Taste of Summer. I even was able to find some fresh corn at the market yesterday, which totally made my day (I love corn. Corn and Fresh Peas in a pod are probably my two favorite foods.)

Mother's day next week and I still have to get a gift together. We've already discussed what I'm getting for father's day (So, says I. The new Sims 3 Expansion Pack is coming out on June 1st. When can I get it? Well, says she, I want to get back to work somewhere around June 1st.. can you wait til Father's Day? OK, I can wait until then.), so it's incumbent on me to come up with something relatively cool for her.

That's about it. Today's got slow day written all over it. It's warm and humid and I'm tired and not entirely awake.

EDIT: I FORGOT TO SAY!

So... K and I each have a favorite book we like to read to the boy. K loves "Goodnight, Moon" and has it memorized, whereas I love a book called "Snuggle Puppy" and have memorized it!

The boy has taken to smiling while we recite these books to him before bed. I'm not sure what he's smiling at.. if it's the attention, or that he knows it's part of bed time, or he's just amused by us, but it's definitely the book!

So, imagine a small child, wrapped up into a boy burrito with a binkie in his mouth GRINNING HUGELY while I go "OoooooOOoo, snuggle puppy of mine, everything about you is especially fine."

It makes it hard to get through the book without laughing.
