Tuesday

I just watched as Paxton grabbed onto one of his toys hanging on his cradle and used it to puuuuull himself over onto his side, and closer, so he could get both hands on it. He LOVES this new toy my friend Kim bought him, it's a bug with chimes, a really gentle beautiful sound. I know it's just cause I'm the mom, but it's fascinating to watch how he is adjusting to the world.

(couple hours later)

Baked some lactation cookies, they are pretty delicious, but my brewer's yeast was so expensive! I need to find it cheaper somewhere else, unless almost twenty dollars for a can is normal.

Paxton was in my arms as I walked around finishing up the cookie clean up, and putting laundry on and he fell asleep in my arms. He doesn't do that often, usually it's on the boob or GTFO. I just soaked it in.

Need to pull something for dinner. Think I might pull out something that can be grilled.

Still sick, but improving steadily. Ears are still itchy, throat feels bruised, but so so so much better than before.

Kid is waking up and I want to take a nap!

I love watching babies learn. LOVE IT.

I really love lactation cookies. Too much. To the point I was in PAIN after making them once with Ben. I couldn't stop eating them. hahah Not so much after Zach though, they were a god-send when I had him. I also used up my yeast with the flax in my oats of a morning.

I remember someone talking about a person I know, saying "she thinks she's the first person on earth to be a mom". I just hope I don't come across like that, I just really love all of this stuff so much.

I think I ate 4 lactation cookies today. :P

well, I think there's a difference between enjoying your baby and expecting others to show the same sort of interest/joy/awe/etc. in your baby. lol I think YOU get that while we all think it's awesome, not everyone is going to get why it's squee-worthy. However that doesn't mean we can't enjoy your happiness, if that makes sense?

Yes! And my journal has always been for me, I'd be sad if I felt like I couldn't write this stuff here.

lactation... cookies...? explain! :D

heh, not as bad as they sound.. just yummy cookies filled with things like flax meal, brewers yeast and oatmeal, all things that help women produce more milk!

I seem to remember brewer's yeast being expensive in all cases. We keep it around because it's got vitamin b12. (I think -- the one you don't get a lot of if you're a vegetarian and none of if you're a vegan.) Also, my husband :) loves the stuff. You can probably get it in bulk at a health food store so that you're at least not paying for the container.

The health food store had nutritional yeast in bulk form for around $12/lb. Not sure how that compares to the can I bought, but if there is no difference between them, then bulk might be cheaper.
