Is it already the end of November?

Little man turned the big 3 months old yesterday. He "celebrated" by screaming his head off from 6 - 8 pm. He and I went to Walmart last night at 7. I put him in the sling and he was out like a light, after about 5 minutes of screaming in the cart area. Ugh. I'll be happy when this phase is over. He is the happiest baby except for 6 - 8 pm.

It was a horribly traumatic "birth" experience that lasted 31 hours and ended in a c-section. A far, far cry from the 80-minute hippie birth of my daughter (who is going to be two in January)! We are the exhausted parents of two under two and a teenager that will be a freshman in high school next year!!! The ...
