Pinch Hitter

So Mom was out of town for work last week for 3.5 days and one morning we were in the midst of getting ready for school and making breakfast and getting lunches made and all of a sudden Pax was hungry.

So dad makes a bottle and says, "Fin, to the couch! You're gonna have to pinch hit for me."

So me being the old pro I am, I get the kid ready...

And then I give him his bottle.

And everyone knows after a little man takes in six ounces of formula he needs to burp, SOOOOOO.

Yep, I think you can pretty much put it on the board. The pinch hitter knocked it out of the park.

Story Time with Pax

So there's a new member at the breakfast table (and apparently Mae's feeling feisty about that).

After we ate I decided to read him a book. This one was about Alfie and his mom teaching him how to say please.

He absolutely loved it.

Meanwhile, Mae was trying to get her bowl unsuctioncupped from the table, which was just classic Mabel (not the sharpest knife in the drawer).

Back to the book - by the time we got done he was asleep. Finley Skertich, Baby Whisperer, over and out.

Oh, but not to be outdone was Mabel Jane, who had her own story up her sleeve, which Pax also fell asleep to. By the way, this gave me a complex and I'm now questioning my baby whispering skills.
