A New Adventure: BUMPS #5

B M S
U P #5 Bumps in the road of life!

I haven't written a "BUMPS" post since Jeffrey was born. It was originally little things that happened while I was pregnant with a belly bump, but from now on, it'll be just the ups and down of life!

While waiting at the cranium specialist, a 5 year old boy saw me cover up and try to feed Jeffrey. He said, "WHAT are you doing???" I told him. He had 20 questions about it and I answered! His baby brother and sister that were being seen (twins) obviously eat from bottles! The funniest questions were, "Is he gonna be sick because he's eating from you?" and then, "Do you need to go to the store?"
An older couple stopped us while in line at La Madeline and admired Jeffrey in his sling. They asked me if I call it a papoose. They thought it was so cute how Jeffrey was sucking his thumb. I told them the thumb sucking was very new. On their way out, they came by our table to say goodbye to the new thumb sucker. My dad, Brant's mom and my sister were all big time, long time thumb suckers!
2 old ladies stopped by our table on their way out at La Madeline. One said, "Aren't thumb suckers the best babies?" I replied, "He JUST started sucking his thumb!" One of them told me she had a thumb sucker and back then a nurse told her to tie a ribbon to his wrist and attach is with a pi to his clothes so his thumb couldn't reach his mouth. She said it cured him of thumb sucking in three days!
An older man with a foreign accent stopped us in the produce section at the grocery store. Jeffrey was in his sling. The man said, "Is this how you were originally?" Ha-how was I supposed to respond to that!

Emergency diaper change. Brant said, "Whatever you do, DON'T get it on my truck!"

Brant calls this his Ralphie pajamas

We don't use this anymore, but I think this is a funny picture of the "straight jacket" as Brant says, (swaddle called a Wombie.) He's not glaring at me, it's just that the flash was bright...okay, maybe he's glaring at me!
