Wha?? It's been 2 weeks?

And Liam is now 4 months old!!

Well, the last two weeks have been mildly insane. I started school, which means Liam is with a BABYSITTER or Jeremy a few days a week. Eek! Luckily she is very experienced, but in the first week we were still trying to use the bottle, thinking that Liam would eventually get used to it, and he was WAILING by the time I got home. The poor lady had to call Jeremy on the second day to help. That following weekend Jeremy and I really put our heads together and came up with a two-fold plan of attack-- dropper and formula. The formula was definitively nixed, but Liam found drinking a teeny bit at a time from a medicine dropper pretty entertaining. So, for your edification, if you want to feed Liam, you must sit him in his seat in the kitchen and gently squirt milk into his mouth-- but beware!-- you must also remain standing the entire time. Crazy baby.

A different kind of craziness has also surfaced... because of an intestinal problem (ah, the common and all-consuming diaper fixation!), I am trying to figure out if Liam is intolerant to cow's milk (if he does, chances are that he will outgrow it by age 5)-- goodbye morning milky coffee hello tea and calcium supplements and way too many sardines!

Classes are going pretty well... I'm allowed to write in English, so naturally I feel more comfortable doing that then when we have discussions in German. I gamely try to participate but my efforts are either greeted by 1. confusion 2. a "hmmmm" or 3. a request to return to the topic at hand. oops.

But guess what? Liam can roll over! Wheeee! It's on, everyone!

Ooops again.

Go back to sleep, baby!
