Distracto the Wonder Pirate


Ay, Matey. I've plundered the deep and made the dreaded Kraken my pet. Nothing can stop me! Hahahahahahahaaaargh.

Liam has now moved into major meal-time distraction. Well, not so major that I have to crawl into an isolation chamber with him, but I do have to either 1. lie on the bed or 2. hold him standing up while swaying or 3. if I am lucky, sit on the couch in silence. This also means that it has become almost impossible to nurse outside. There was a MAJOR meltdown in H&M this week (I just want a pair of pants that fit me!)-- my friend Beate got a real earful. Anyone have tips? I've read about some kind of special baby necklace that helps them focus, and I want to research a little more how to nurse in the sling/wrap (the way I do it now, he is not very covered, so it doesn't help).
So no more watching TV or walking around a store. Oh well, maybe he'll grow out of it?

Great picture - he's so focused on you. What about that cover-up you had on your wishlist? I think Jes used something like that with Aila.

loving the pirate garb! Maybe if he had a little pirate-y eye patch he wouldn't get distracted....Nothing like sensory deprivation to stimulate a young brain :) okay, so I give terrible advice. I like your mom's idea!
