Slaves of the Grom.

2006-03-14 - 6:43 p.m.

Hurrah! Grampa�s home from Florida and that means Daddy can leave work earlier! J has been working seven days a week since we brought Grommet home from the hospital. On top of that, his hours got longer when his father, who works for him, left for Florida for a month. Now that he�s back, J can leave work a bit earlier, and he�s trained a couple of his staff so that he can take a couple of days a week off. Of course, he still has to do some business-related things on those days, but at least he doesn�t have to get up before the ass crack of dawn (3:30 on weekdays, 4:30 on weekends).

J�s dad also brought home some clothes for the Grom, including some way cute little sun suits and overalls. She�ll be a well-dressed baby this summer.

Speaking of the Grom (seven weeks old today, by the way), she is still being plagued by tummy troubles and we�re still finding blood in her poop from the fissure in her little bum. We feel so awful for her but there�s not a lot we can do but hope it heals soon. We�ve gotten the opinion from 3 medical professionals that no, there�s no treatment and it should heal on its own. If you took away all the crying we pretty much know can be attributed to this problem, she�d probably win an award for least-fussy baby around. Poor little munchkin.

She�s definitely smiling more. J finally was awarded one on Sunday and has been the thrilled recipient of several since then. I�ve noticed that she does it most when she�s hungry and possibly anticipating a feeding in her near future. I wonder if it�s a lure� �Look at me! Aren�t I beguiling? Don�t you want to reward my cuteness with food?� To which we, of course, reply, �Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! You are the cutest baby ever and we�ll give you anything you want! We�ll lay the world at your feet if you just keep smiling like that for us!�

Check out the nice houses here at Birdseye Building. We�re looking at maybe building this summer and I wish these guys were in our neck of the woods (and that we could afford them)�
