I'm still here~ just a busy, tired momma these days!

Lately I've written dozens of journal entries in my head, but rarely do I make the time to actually come on here and complete an entire post. The biggest reason is that it seems Facebook has simply trumped my journal. Most people I know/keep in contact with are on there, and it just seems so much more instantaniously fun and interactive than LJ

Most people just aren't used to hearing a baby cry, and therefore have a low tolerance for it. Ariana does have a particularly loud and shrill cry (as has been pointed out to us MANY times), but it did make me slightly defensive for my lil' Bug. The looks of "what's wrong with that child?" I hate when people call babies "good" because they are mellow, thereby labeling not-so-mellow babies "bad" by default. I looked back at my summer of 2007 journal and we also did a roadtrip and family reunion (different side of the family) when Rylan was 3+ months old, and he also was not the happiest camper. I think babies this age get overwhelmed with such a number of people and a huge change in environment and routine. My bad for bringing my babies out at such a young age, but we couldn't miss out on the opportunity for the family gatherings either, so it had to be done.

How did Joey do with the dentist? Rylan let the dentist examine his teeth, brush them really well, and then polish about 5 teeth... He wasn't thrilled, he had tears pouring down his cheeks, but he did NOT freak out!
