We are back online!
Our computer problem was thankfully a $30 power cord problem (generic cord on ebay), not a laptop-ending ordeal!
Andrew is doing better. We think he just has those moments where he cries for no reason whatsoever. He’s a very happy little guy when he’s a happy little guy. When he’s fussy, he’s fussy.
Lois’ brother (Uncle Joey) had Andrew on Saturday for a good chunk of the day.
The last time they had him for 5 hours, he slept for about 4.5 hours. This uncle/nephew bonding day went a little differently than the last one. When we picked up Andrew on Saturday night, Uncle Joey met us at the door.
“I don’t know how you do it. God Bless you guys!” (This is usually what we say to him after we’ve spent an afternoon with one of his four children!)
I guess our little angel had a few of his fussy moments.
Joe made me laugh when he said “He was screaming such bloody murder after I changed him, I stripped him down again to make sure I didn’t catch his boys in anything!”

Yesterday, I had him for 5 hours while Mommy Loey babysat K*.
It started off a little rough:
We got a late start because I wanted to let him finish his nap. When I picked him up from the swing, he stank, I mean REALLY stank.
I threw one of these down on the couch and went about the diaper change.
Let’s just say this was an 8 wipe diaper! That’s the most wipes I’ve used in one diaper change so far.
He pooped out of the sides of the diaper. It was so full, I couldn’t get it off of him without him sticking his feet in it 3-4 times per foot. And it was NASTY!
I thought diapers didn’t get bad until babies started eating jarred food. Oh no, this was awful.
I got it on my hands, my arms, the wipe dispenser, the munchkin pad and even the couch.
As got the fresh diaper on him, I ran to the kitchen to wash myself from the elbows down and warm up a bottle.
He started screaming for food, the faucet is on high for hot water, the fridge is wide open, I’m opening the dishwasher with my foot to get the cup for heating bottles and the phone is ringing.
I answered the phone thinking whomever was on the other end would help me laugh at all of this. Salina did laugh as I told her the whole disaster that was our kitchen and living room, all caused by a little baby who was still screaming for food, by the way.
After this entire chaotic scene, we went to the “Club” (must be said with some snooty air) to meet my mother for lunch. She showed him off even though he slept through it.
He slept through lunch.
He slept through the car ride to the mall.
He slept through suit shopping, 2 elevator rides and running into clothing stands at Lord & Taylor
He slept through the car ride to Suz and K*’s and even slept for a while in his car seat.
When we switched off the baby sitting and Mommy Loey got Andrew, he was awake and cranky. Good timing kid!
I don’t even think he knows that he got to spend the entire day with me!
