Feeding babies...

...lemons never ceases to be hilarious. Poor sweet little Bailey, he just kept going back for more and Mommy and Grandma just kept giving it to him and laughing hysterically. Even other people in Red Robin were partaking in the entertainment...

Freeway Off-ramps

I have always known that I rate pretty low on the scale of compassion. This last Saturday, I realized why. Since I've lived in Portland (because you know I had hardly ever driven on the freeway before that), I have NEVER, not once, given money or anything else to any of the people you see with the signs on freeway on- and off-ramps telling their sad story about why I should part with my money on their behalf. I felt very vindicated on Saturday when I pulled off the freeway and spotted a guy, sitting on a crate holding a sign that simply said "homeless". The first thing I noticed was how average he looked with an Old Navy type button up plaid shirt, jeans and tennis shoes...pretty much how my husband dresses. The second (and final) thing I noticed was that as he was sitting there, begging for handouts from people, at least he had his iPod to keep him company.

Buttons

Mary bought this Pooh cart, you know the type that is supposed to help kids learn to walk?

It has a bunch of buttons and an octave worth of a keyboard.

Anyways, Bailey hasn't done much with hitting buttons until today. He now slaps them with his hands and thoroughly enjoys making the sounds, to our great joy. :-)

We thoroughly enjoy having Bailey learn and develop so quickly. He really does try all the time to become more mobile and more capable by the day. He's also become quite a bit more vocal about how he feels, like today when he was actually cranky.

I know that some of you have heard that Bailey isn't cranky but for him he was. I needed to learn today how to readjust to a baby that could be fussy. How weird is that! :-)

Today I was reminded...

...of the time I went to Burger King at LAX and they were out of burgers...
