sock monkey?

The bump on the head and the subsequent bump on the head I gave myself later on yesterday (I ran into a cupboard door... don't ask) didn't kill me. I suppose all the calcium I take has paid off. My head hurt and I felt sick to my stomach but hey that is just a typical Wednesday for me.
Senor Onion had a check-up yesterday. It wasn't too bad. He has finally doubled his birth weight. While he is a trim kid, he has the world's biggest head. 90th percentile yo. And as usual he is gorgeous and intelligent and appreciates long walks in the park, rain and candle-lit dinners of pureed squash and whatever he can find underneath the sofa that is probably disgusting.
Since the doctor is leaving the practice she is getting us in to see the new fancy doctor that everyone is scrambling to see. Wee-hee.

Senor Onion has also decided to start standing on his own here and there. He keeps showing it off and then deciding, "yeah...hrm...I dunno." Of course this is when he lets me go for five freaking seconds. You know those nature films where the monkeys, gorillas and what-have-you, have little babies attached to them no matter what they do. They can swing from tree to tree or wrestle about and there is a baby stuck on like glue? Yeah that is me. Only less fur. I hope.

In less baby-related chatter, I am making Chicken and dumplings tonight. It comes from the latest issue of Saveur magazine. I realized while I have eaten this dish, I have never made it. So far it tastes pretty darn good. There is also angel food cake for dessert because we always need cake.

There is more in my head but I am distracted. Alright time to go back to playing with my velcro monkey-baby.
