killing me not so softly.

Jack has learned how to whine.  He’s got this high pitched undulating squeal-type thing that really just gets under my skin.  I know that this is due partially to he discovery of this new talent, and he uses it at any opportunity: to express frustration, boredom, hunger, happiness, you name it.  I am trying not to let it get to me, but sometimes it is strikingly similar to teaching middle schoolers.

Part of the reason I think he has been developing some of these interesting traits is due to his desire to be moving.  He really wants to be picked up and walked around forever, since he’s not quite able to do that for himself.  He’s so very close to crawling, and he knows it.  That makes it worse for him, in my mind (and probably his), since he knows if he just got all the bits of his body to work together he could move!  by himself!  Poor kid.  I think we’ll all be happier when he’s mobile due to his own efforts.

In the oven today:
