--We had to buy some disposable nappies this week, since Hosea has a recalcitrant nappy rash. Man, those things are friggin' expensive. And weird. They're, like, bikini-shape. Not so good in the coverage department. Anyway, I'm looking forward to being back in the cloth nappy realm soon.

--Man, those teeth of his reeeealy want to come in. Seriously. He's a toasty, red-cheeked grump right now.

--Church stuff is really hard right now. We're not really happy where we are but don't know where we're supposed to be. How do you find a balance between being okay where you are and wanting to be in a place that suits you?

--Mom's sending us a care package. I'm really excited about it. I heart care packages.

--We have Hosea in a bigger fleecy bear. It's white, and was a gift from the shower our vet school friends threw us. It's cute, but a lot more awkward to put on him. Like, it only zips down one leg? He looks like a baby polar bear. Or the stay-puft marshmallow man.

--right now he's in a plaid onesie and khaki trousers. Except for the lack of an animal tie, this outfit makes him look an eerie amount like a baby Dr. Mike, for those who know him. I'll post pics later.

--Right now he's making really cute sounds as he pounds out a relatively steady rhythm on the djembe. He's totally going to be a drummer.

--Earlier today he was sitting on the kitchen floor, and he fell backward, knocking the side of his head on the chair leg before thunking the back of his head on the linoleum. Yep, I'm a bad mama.

--Despite the aforementioned thunking, he's really good at sitting on his own now. And really cute.
