Losin' The Baby Fat - Tuesday

[Jefinner]

Ezra is hitting a growth spurt, I think. He's been on the boob all day long. Nonstop. I'm so glad I have Allison around, because I feel terrible for neglecting Anna. At least it feels like I do. You should see her with him though. She is already such an awesome big sister. I can sit him in her lap (holding him, of course), and she says "Awww" and gives him a big kiss on the head. Then she pats his back. I guess she sees us burping him, and that's what she thinks she should do as well. I just can't wait until he can entertain himself for a few minutes at a time though, so I can pay more attention to her. Then when he gets even bigger, I can just play with both of them, and when I can't, I'm sure they'll play together.

So many pros and cons to having them this close together.

Oh, has anyone tried any gripe water? I hear it's just awesome for any digestive/gas issues. Even cures hiccups. I've looked at the two major brands, but they greatly differ. The main difference is one has a tiny bit of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and the other doesn't. Both defend why they do or don't contain it. The "Baby's Bliss" brand does and "Colic Ease" doesn't. I just want something to help with his gas. It doesn't make him cry most times, but it makes him JUST uncomfortable enough to be really squirmy and not be able to sleep and such. And he has such a hard time getting it up.

Another thing... The other day I went to the grocery store, and they had a Starbucks inside. Hmmm... I got an iced decaf latte. Anna wanted some. So, sure... It's not hot... No caffeine... Why not? She drank half my damned latte!!! Thank goodness it was decaf or I would've had HyperSpeed Anna all that night!

So, I go get another latte today after going to Wally World, and guess who's in the back, just DYING to get out of her car seat once she sees what I have???

Allison's already such a Strawberry Creme Frappucino addict that I got her a $20 gift card for Christmas. Now I've got another... And it's one who just LOVES the real thing. LOL!
