Continue reading →: happy 7 months, GBSo I’m a little late, but on October 23, GB hit the 7 month mark. Weight: My scale is broken and says I weigh 20 pounds less than I do (I refuse to fix it, of course), so I really don’t know. I’m guessing he’s close to 17 pounds right now.…

Weight: According to my super scientific stand-on-the-scale-with-him-stand-on-the-scale-without-him method, about 15 lbs.

Continue reading →: craycation, or why am I going to the beach with a baby and a toddler?I’m envisioning that this will likely be the first in a series of posts on what I can only anticipate is going to be a very *interesting* trip to the beach.
