LOL, last night Jack was giving us fits going to be and I lightly tapped him on the rear when I put him back in bed for the 5th time.

His mommy asked me why I was being mean to her baby!
LOL!

Thank you, Blubayou!!!!!

from what my mother seems to think, I have come to understand that grandparents pray for and work towards paying their children back! LOL!

I am firmly convinced that grandparent spoiling is all about causing pain and suffering to their own children!

Someone make me feel better today!!!
I know more than one instance of breastfed babies that took 1-2 months to regain their birth weight. They finally did and were just fine. The fact that he is gaining and not losing means he's getting milk and growing.
