it’s been a really fantastic week.  we had family-friends in town (and when i say family-friends, you know it’s from ABN’s childhood because when i was growing up we had family and we had friends but i’m not so sure we had so family-friends) and it was so fun to see them with EBN.  and to see EBN with them!  she entertains herself quite well but really if she had it her way (and let’s be honest, she does), she’d have someone (anyone!) staring directly into her eyes at every waking moment and this week, she pretty much got it.  the question is – do happy babies poop more?  and with more, how should i say this…force?  i’ll let you discuss.

EBN and her Kyung

in other news, my hair is falling out in a major(ly disgusting) way.  it covers every surface of my house, has clogged every drain, is caught inside the crevices of my car and is constantly wrapped around EBN’s tiny fingers.  but if that wasn’t enough i think it’s beginning to be noticeable on my head.  as a girl who has always had WAY too much hair, this dramatic change is making me totally and completely nutso (ask ABN – it’s not the only thing that’s making me nuts – i made be a laid-back mama, but i’m a bit nutty in general these days).  i know this happens to everyone – i was warned (i wasn’t warned about the swelling that occurs for a few days after you give birth but that’s another issue and yes, it went away by 1 week but at the time i FREAKED out) – but i just didn’t think it would happen to me .

i live in constant fear of the day that EBn is too big to use her swing.  will she ever nap again?

we’re off to our music class and then probably a stop at babies r us.  just don’t tell EBN – she hates BRU – i can’t blame her, it’s pretty gross.  then home to make a nice shabbat dinner (the KINERET CHALLAH is already on the counter defrosting – i’m so excited i found it in this city!!).  we are all in need of some family time at home.
