Oops

Well, I forgot to post yesterday. The first chink in the armor is showing.....actually, I was taking advantage of Aidan's naptimes to get some much needed videogame time in. I find demos of games so much more satisfying now...they fit perfectly between feedings and naptimes. I did almost diaper my Xbox controller. though. Oops.

So what's new? Well, my little guy is getting stronger. We had "tummy time" (the nauseating yet universal decsriptor for the simpl act of laying a baby on his stomach) and he managed to lift his head and turn it the other way. Away from me, of course. Can you blame him? But it was really amusing to watch, because he'd get that huge noggin halfway there, and then gravity would take over and slam it into his playmat. This startled him, so he'd jerk it back up and gravity would slam it down again. Gotta give it to babies.... despite all this, and the fact that he was facedown on the mat for long stretches at a time, he didn't freak out or start crying. He was way too focused to care that it probably hurt like hell to have his little nose smashed over and over. Kind of like I'm too focused on retirement in 40 years to care that it hurts like hell to have my soul ripped out of my body every day I set foot in that prison I call "job". (Sorry, that was off topic and gratuitous. But true.)

I, of course, sat by and watched. I only intervened if I though it looked like he was going to start turning blue or something. Which he didn't, so I think that I have pretty much exceeded everyone's expectations for me as a father.
