Seven Quick Takes

1) When I was pregnant, I told myself that I wasn’t going to be one of “those moms” who thinks their kid is the cutest in the world. Surely not every baby can be the cutest. And I wasn’t going to fall into that bias of thinking that out of ALL the babies on the whole planet that mine was the cutest. Sure, he’d be cute. But I wasn’t going to be delusional enough to think that he was the cutest.

Wrong. He is.

2) Jack has slept through the night twice in a row. Ah, sweet sleep. It’s amazing. But here’s the rub: on the two nights where he hasn’t slept through the night, he sleeps like a newborn…up 6 times, if not more.

3) I am very VERY angry with IKEA. I’ll update you on that next week. For now, just know that I am full of Swedish meatballs while my house is empty of necessary furniture.

4) I thought I wasn’t a huge fan of roasts. You know…big ol’ hunks of meat cooked for a long time? I like my meat mooing…and roasts usually aren’t mooing. So I don’t like them, right? Wrong. I learned I was oh so very wrong. We had dinner at my friend’s house on Friday night and wowzas does Shayla’s husband make a mean roast.

5) My baby sister, Bridget, is back from her bike ride across the US. We’ve already put her to good babysitting use.

6) And in case you were wondering, Jack’s hat is awesome. But his identical cousin couldn’t be left out in the cold, right? He needed a hip hat too.

7) That Brady kid is pretty darn cute too. Especially when he dresses like a Cuban businessman. My parents must be pretty impressed with themselves for managing to have the #1 and #2 cutest boys on the entire planet. Well done, parents. Well done.
