oh what a day we had today. went to kaiser for my 5wk post-partum exam and a pediatrician appt to see what's eating gilbert grape over here. turns out its reflux. maybe. turns out i have to go dairy free for a week. turns out the seamonkey cries so loud that even the nurses who hold him seem surprised. even kids in the corridors look wide-eyed and ask their mothers, "why is that baby crying so loud?" he has been good lately. we thought he might be settling down for good. but today at the doctor's he was on his absolute worst behavior.
then we got his frenulum clipped. long story. luckily, he nursed right away and did not freak out.
but what i wanted to say was, the seamonkey is starting to smile now. little fleeting smiles like pink petals falling from the trees. these smiles seem like they actually mean something - for half a second. and its the sweetest thing.
