Breastfeeding at 6 months in Eliot’s own words (as interpreted by his Mama):

I’m playing (with my book),
I’m playing (with my blocks),
I’m playing (with my toes),
I’m pla…I’m STARVING, STARVING, STARVING, STARVING, STARVING!!!!
(Mama shoves boob in E’s mouth)
Mmmmmm, milk is good.
Suck, Suck…
Is that my puppy?
(E wrenches his head and pulls Mama’s nipple off her boob)
Puppy?! Puppy?! Puppy?! PUPPY, PUPPY, PUP...I’m STARVING!!!!
(Mama puts nipple back on boob and shoves boob in E’s mouth)
Mmmmmm, milk is good.
Suck, Suck…
Look at my toes, I have toes. Do you have toes? Have you seen my toes?
I’d rather eat my toes.
(E wrenches his head and pulls Mama’s nipple off her boob again)
Suck (on toes), Suck (on toes), Suck (on toes)…
There’s no milk in my toes…I’m STARVING, STARVING, STARVING!!!!
(Mama puts nipple back on boob and shoves boob in E’s mouth)
Mmmmmm, milk is good.
Suck, Suck, Suck…
Suck (look at Mama’s pretty face),
Suck (I think I’ll claw it)
Suck (CLAWING MAMA’S FACE, CLAWING MAMA’S FACE)
(Mama removes E’s hands from her bloodied face)
Suck, Suck, Suck…
Suck (I have a face),
Suck (I think I’ll claw it)
Suck (CLAWING MY FACE, CLAWING MY FACE)
(Mama removes E’s hands from his bloodied face)
Suck, Suck, Suck…
Suck (sleepy), Suck (sleepy), Suck (sleepy)…
Who needs sleep? NOT ME!
(Mama needs sleep! Mama needs sleep! MAMA NEEDS SLEEP!!!!)

Repeat.

Life's a bowl of cherries!

Life can be the pits, but...


I bought these cherries at Whole Foods the other day and they ended up costing me over $12 for the bowl! Ouch! But when we ate them, we quickly forgot how much they cost. They were fantastic!! Probably the best cherries I've ever eaten. Yummy!
