Brennan is riding front-facing more & moreI had a birthday on Friday - we celebrated by walking down the hill to have dinner at Zazie. Luckily it was warm enough to sit outside, and we lucked into one of the few sidewalk tables. This came in handy when Brennan decided it was Screaming Time. (Screaming Time happens every night, but he likes to surprise us as to when it starts and how long it goes on. Don't worry, it only lasted through the appetizers.) Bren and his daddy gave me a pretty ruby ring (the Leo birthstone) that was custom made by our favorite jeweler in Mexico. It's going to engraved with Bren's birthdate and initials. Then summer went away for the weekend, so Sat. & Sun. we napped a lot, while Daddy did a great deal of laundry and watched the The World's Longest Football Game.

Brennan had his 2 month check-up Monday. I actually managed to get there early, so we had plenty of time to get settled and look around the exam room. After I changed his diaper, I noticed a sign on the door, reminding me to take all soiled diapers with me. Oops. And this is the third time I've been in that room - but only the first time I've taken the dirty diaper with me. So after I pulled the diaper out of the trash, I began to wonder about it. Is it a health concern, or just a practical way to avoid full, stinky trash cans? From my experience in animal hospitals, I know it doesn't take long in a tiny exam room to realize someone's thrown away cat poop. I also wonder how a similar sign would go over at the veterinary clinic - "please take all dog/cat poop with you".

I was interrupted from my musings on poop to complete my transformation into The Meanest Person in the World. Not only is Brennan not gaining enough weight, raising the specter of Evil Formula, but I had to hold him down for 4 vaccinations. I'm not sure what was worse, the shocked look followed by the scream at the first injection, or the continued wailing for the remainder. Then, once home, I sent a email to my job to arrange my return to work. All in all, I felt like a very bad mommy, so I don't think I put baby B. down for the rest of the day. But after a dose of tylenol and a good night's sleep, we were in better spirits the next day.
