Beefing Up

Harvey is beefing up. He gained 7 ounces this week--and a 1/4 inch in the cranium. Tonight, while on the changing table, he exhibited the rare feat of peeing, pooping and puking all at the same time--a triple "p". Eileen, Laura's mom, commented, "At least his plumbing is working." He can also undo his swaddling before you can say Harvey Houdini even when we use use masking tape. Rest assured, we use the tape on his blanket not his mouth--an old neo-natal nursing trick. But we have to admit that we've been tempted a few times at 3 AM when he's crying incessantly, and it's times like these when the poet in me has noticed that swaddle and throttle rhyme. Laura just informed me that Harvey puked on the couch--another first!
