Day 919

The Lizard can unleash farts that sound like a moped.

Day 918

The Lizard is demonstrating a tendency towards hermitage. So she fits in nicely... But this probably won't help encourage me to leave the house.

Day 917

Cleaning rampages are somewhat less effective when sleep deprived - but more impressive. At least to the zombie(s).

Day 916

The babies are now actively conspiring together to ensure we get insufficient sleep.

Day 915

Celebrating the fact that it's Friday by reading Atlantic reviews of terrible movies with husband so that we can guffaw and read the best bits out loud.

Day 914

I accomplished my goal for the day: nobody died.

Day 913

The Lizard continued to come up with ingenious ways to avoid going to bed, like "pooping everywhere" and "staring at daddy instead of eating".

Day 912

The puppy doesn't like to poop in the rain. I have a vision of the future that includes Husband and I having to hold an umbrella over the little bastard's head so he can do his business...

Day 911

The most miraculous thing about babies is sleeping.

Day 910

Powerhouse parents accomplish all of the things on no sleep. Evil babies are most cheerful when they're supposed to be sleeping.

Day 909

It's hard to be annoyed with the Lizard for interrupting her feeds because she wants to smile at me so bad.

Day 908

Somehow, by ensuring the Lizard gets more sleep, we have started getting less sleep. That's baby science.

Day 907

If you want to hear about strangers' grandkids, take your baby out in public in the middle of the day.

Day 906

Lizard learning that it's okay to not be held my mom or dad at all times might be one of the best developmental milestones so far.

Day 905

Hopefully tonight we won't be so excited that the lizard is sleeping that we won't be able to sleep.

Day 904

Lizard put herself to sleep. We win at parenting.

Day 903

Early family dinners are an excellent invention.

Day 902

Apparently Lizard's stubborn streak includes crying forever without falling asleep, and her independent streak does not extend to being willing to fall asleep without a parent present.

Day 901 (corrected)

Sleep training a baby may be worse than birthing one.

Day 899

I now appreciate the luxury of eating slowly.

Day 898

It is somewhat disconcerting taking your three month old out and having people think she's brand new.

Day 897 (belated)

Stayed up late, partly because we were waiting for news of the birth of Lizard's new friend and partly because Lizard was overtired and hyper. I need all of the naps.

Day 896

I'm starting to get the horrible suspicion that's daughter is a morning person.

Day 895 (belated)

How can something so cute smell so bad?

Day 894 (belated)

The Lizard helpfully decided that it was time to prove to my inlaws that she can scream her little face off.

Day 893

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Day 892

You think you've got everything under control for when a guest comes over, and then the dog gets into something he shouldn't and the baby pukes all over you and herself. Multiple times.

Day 891

Lizard growth spurts, Mommy coffee drinks, Bertie stuff destroys.

Day 890

The baby can now laugh.

Challenge accepted.

Day 889

I used to think the puppy was happy to see me, but the giant grin babies are capable of is a whole new ball game

Day 888

The Lizard's pile of homemade blankets are a testament to how wonderful and talented our friends are.
