april milestones

april 9th: waving day! jack learned to wave, now he waves hello and goodbye to everyone. t is trying to teach him wrist wrist elbow elbow yada yada, but jack goes for more of a full arm salute.

april 10th: too small day! the pediatrician took one look at jack's stats and said "looks like he got all shrimpy all of a sudden." bitch. first off, nobody calls my baby shrimpy. second, have you seen me? you don't even say shrimpy in my presence without pissing me off! she then went on to describe all the reasons why his lack of growth would be my fault, or maybe it is kidney disease and here, take this tiny little pee sample bag and stick it to his balls and go to childrens hospital for some blood tests. then she got up and left without asking any questions about his developmental milestones or doing any of those early autism checks or any of the other things i expected for this checkup. so i left her office and drove directly to my naturopath and made an appointment for him. then i checked the breastfed baby growth charts and found he actually looks much closer to normal than she implied. bitch. failure to thrive? bullshit.

april 11th: baby's first dandelion day! khya and i bought a bottle of wine and 4 chocolate bars (after receiving a full lesson in the varieties of chocolate from a bulk grocer named "music" (yeah right, he totally made that up)) and took the kids to her house to lounge in the yard. the boys rolled around on the blanket while khya and i got tipsy and sun drunk and then jack ate his first dandelion. the day completely made up for the shitty day before.

i am still working on uploading and organizing all the pictures from the last couple of months, so go take a look at my flickr from time to time and see how big the kid is getting. and see how small eugene still is.

Dude! What the crap was up your pediatrician's butt on the day she saw you?! Unreal!
