mythbusters

Myth #1:  Boys are easier than girls.

 Truth:  Not easier, but definitely different.  Also, I am willing to admit that I really don't know yet, since this boy is still pretty new, and my girls aren't in their "emotional" years yet.

 Myth #2:  Binkies, bottles and nursing will cause confusion.

 Truth:  This baby nurses, takes two different binkies (depending on his mood), takes a bottle, and loves his fingers.  Pretty much, he doesn't like his mouth to be empty.  That's when he gets confused.

 Myth #3:  Girls are more fun to dress than boys.

 Truth:  I'll admit, I have to stop myself from putting something in his hair, but I can't believe how much fun I've had dressing him in little masculine outfits, sports themes, baby slacks, cute little shoes, and hats!  It's too much fun!

 Myth #4:  Double chins are unattractive.

 Truth:  Is that not the cutest double chin you've ever seen?  I don't want it to go away!  (Does this remind anyone else of Monty Burns?  "egggcellent. . . ")

Myth #5:  Babies only smile when they're gassy.

Truth:  Okay, maybe that's true.  This smile looks a little mischievous don't you think?

I'm beginning to embrace his random schedule.  For example, the last two nights he has woken up at 1:30, then wouldn't go back to sleep until 4:00, then took 5, 20 minute naps throughout the day.  That stinks.  Then last night he slept for 10 hours, woke up, ate, and has now been sleeping for another 2 1/2 hours.  Every day is a new adventure, with no advanced notice on if a nap will be included or not.  

Fun stuff.
