who knew it was even possible?! i took two kids to the zoo today! i woke up at 7:30 so that i could shower, pump, nurse, eat breakfast, etc. and we didn't even get out of the house til 10:05 but i managed it without yelling at either of my kids! as a bonus, brady cried himself to sleep in this swing while i was getting abigail dressed and out the door. good job brady! but aren't swings supposed to be magical enough that they make babies happy without a binky in their mouth constantly?!
parking was a pain and the weather was nowhere near as nice as forecasted (15 degrees colder and no sun?!) but we met up with some friends and had an excellent time.
baby girl kept kicking her shoes off so i decided to let her exercise her agency and go barefoot (she was staying in the stroller the whole time) so my child was the one barefoot (with black feet from dragging her feet along the stroller wheels) in 50 degree weather.

we came home, ate a banana for lunch while watching thomas, had a quick bath and took a nap. oh, did i say we? i meant baby girl. i ate no lunch, took no bath, and had no nap. but i did sit in bed for three hours with a baby that refused to fall asleep. and baby girl stayed in her crib until after 7 because she didn't get down for nap til 3:30 and i wasn't keeping track of the clock to get her up by 6.
i took brady to costco and the library with me tonight. i got a lot of sympathy looks. in case you're confused, yes, he's doing so much better than he was before the zantac, but he is by no means a "happy" or "easy" or even "average" baby. and the reason i rarely post (or take) pictures of him? because they look like this...

K seriously, Brady and his tinyness are absolutely adorable. I'm sorry you're having a harder time though! My mom swears that first babies are just easier because they don't have older siblings to take time and attention away from them (and kick and punch and hit, she says... but that's not Abigail's style). I tend to think you just had an angel of a first child. Either way, as long as there's progress that's good! And in the case that you get tired of one of them, I'll take him/her. Just let me know! ;)
