Yes, bottle feeding is coming along nicely. There is still the occasional wrestling match – but Colt’s figured out that eating from a bottle doesn’t HAVE to be torture and he’s decided to comply –…

What’s so funny?!

Smiling! Laughing, really. I think God knew what he was doing when he decided when babies would smile. It just so happens to be about the time they start crying real tears. While I am…

6 weeks old!

By Sarah Martin HoodJuly 30, 2008September 4, 2016 Categories: Uncategorized Tags: colt, xanga 3 Comments

Right after Colt was born, Nancy told me that 6 weeks was the magical time in a new Mom’s life that things seem to settle into a routine and she’s no longer the completely-clueless-crazy-person-with-the-new-baby —…

Not 2. Not 4. — You get 3 strikes.
