Oh, Good Grief.

Wow. Baby Sweet-Pea-Honey-Child is FIVE months old! I can hardly come to terms with it all. And here is the best news, but also the 'I shouldn't get too excited about it news'- we started sleep training (again) last night! Woot woot! And this time it is WORKING. I woke up this morning and promptly told Dan "It doesn't hurt when I blink my eyes." He didn't know about that, and thought it was really sad, but I, I am rejoicing over it. My eyes don't burn! Now, cross your fingers, hail The Virgin Mary, and lets all hope that he continues with such behavior. Please, keep us in you good thoughts, prayers - whatever you subscribe to.

Dan thinks I should tell you all the whole Jude sleep story, but I don't know. I'll tell you all about it in person or even over the phone but I'm too chicken to post it on the internets mostly because I was pretty embarrassed about the lengths we had to go to to help that kid sleep. Serinda told me I shouldn't be embarrassed, but I'm still working on that (and btw, did you read her birth story yet? do it!). A baby needs what a baby needs and honestly, he truly was not ready for our program until this past week or so. And I know there can still be regression, good days, and bad days, but here is to hoping that we are turning a new leaf!

I must apologize about some more crappy cell phone pictures. Maybe with this new era in our lives I'll have the time and energy to plug my camera into the computer! Oh I'm gonna pee my pants!

That smile KILLS me dead! Here we were out for lupper while Dan was in Boston for work (again). We were out for dinner with my good friend Sally. Here is how it is- I go out for dinner with Sally when I have to make reservations or give my name. You see, my name is great. Patience. Oh people just love it, they just eat it up... once they get it. And it can take a long time for someone to get it. Precious? Patient? Blah blah blah. Geriatrics especially have a hard time with it and I worked with them for years. Those were some long years. Over the phone is also pretty rough. But anyways, I usually make reservations under 'Sally', cause she is great company and one classy gal. And if you don't get that name over the phone or in a noisy restaurant I don't know what to tell you.

Jude with Dan. Awe, my boys! 

And here is a proud Dan showing off the re-do of the heaping pile of salt we had for dinner a couple weeks ago. Except this time, he made it perfect, the sauce was smooth, creamy, lightly salted and low cal.
