It still ranks as the happiest, most exciting moment of my whole life.
And what an amazing human being came into my world that night. Today he's... gorgeous to look at, plays guitar, argues politics, has an acute sense of empathy for the oppressed and a deep sense of social justice, possesses a fabulous, dry wit and a low tolerance for hypocrisy, still makes time for his much younger sibs and cousins, has perfectly lovely manners, makes me think about things from entirely new perspectives, is learning to hackysack, weaves beautiful beaded jewelry...and I'd rather spend time with him than just about anyone else on the planet. I couldn't be prouder. Considering he was my "parenting guinea pig" (meaning I am learning this mother-thing as I go and he has been test case #1), he's turning out marvelously.
Happy b'day my lovely, big boy.

wow imagine all that from baby formula
Now, wait, can we conclude anything from H being a formula fed baby? And, being so smart and successful and all? Hmmmm....
maybe that it really doesnt matter as much as we think it does? maybe its a good thing to try but if it doesnt work out is it worth all the guilting that a lot of people wind up going thru at the hands of "lactivists"?????
What an inappropriate response to a birthday boy! You are crazier then any breastfeeding advocate I ever met.
The mystery is Why you waste your time on this blog.
He is adorable, Katie. What a lovely tribute to your beautiful son. Happy Birthday, Henry!
