Yesterday, Mrs. T-B. went through (for donation) a bunch of Mini-B.'s clothes that he had outgrown, less-wee man. She got nostalgic, sigh she man. The same will probably happen to me when I go through them to itemize them, miss littler wee man.

In Japan you lose money through weddings and childbirth but make money at a funeral-lol.

When you give birth, everyone gives you money gifts. The catch is you have to buy a present in return of at least the same value !

Eating PB and Jam. I have strawberry and the Tornado has white grape, she shares her crust with Lucas.

He has been practicing pulling himself up to a standing position when in the tub. Not sure why he insists on the slipperiest spot to practice but he likes it. Now when you put him down he wants to stand. He is so proud of himself it's so cute.

I think I need another sandwich
