how do you spell relief?

Adam is learning that letters make up words. The other day I heard him say "E-L-M-O. Elmo!" This afternoon, I heard this from the backseat: "S-T-A-R-B-U-C-K-S. Coffees!"

That's my boy.

two grand

In all the craziness of the past few weeks, I just noticed that we passed another one of those not-found-in-the-baby-book milestones: Adam has had over two thousand diaper changes. We average about five a day now, and so thankfully, that number won't increase as quickly as it did in the beginning. We also have a new leak record. Of course, that doesn't include leaks from the top end, which occur several times a day, but we have to rejoice in the small victories. I still love all the wonderful data he generates.

Diaper Data from Trixie Tracker:

Lifetime: 2050

New record! 940 hours since last leak
Old record: 693 hours set Apr 22

889 hours since last open-air accident
Best record: 1138 hours set Jun 15

proof of brilliance!

Adam's Magic Pacifier

When I put Adam down just now, he did not have a pacifier in his mouth. Note the proximity of the other pacifiers in the bed. When I just looked, he had one in his mouth! I'm thinking he rolled over, and it happened to be facing him just right, so he sucked it up.

Well, I guess it's really not proof since I don't have the "before" shot. You really have to take my word for it. I guess I could hook up the video camera 24/7...
