Milk Allergy?

CootieBoy is a fussy baby. I’ve mentioned that before, but today I found a few minutes to hop online and do some research. Now, I’m not like my mom – I don’t hear one symptom and predict impending doom (“Mom, I have a headache.” Her response: “It’s a tumor! Call a doctor!”) [...]

Some New Pics

Formula Woes

Yes it’s almost 3 a.m. – I’ve got slight insomnia tonight. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about. This is CootieBoy’s site, after all.
We’ve come to the realization that CootieBoy doesn’t like Good Start formula. It makes him gassy and he spits up a lot. You know what he [...]

Marathon Screaming

Tonight we had a church team meeting at the church office. I arrived around 4 p.m. for the first part of my meetings – to discuss the spa day my church is sponsoring (and for which I’m hosting a table). CootieBoy fussed a bit at the beginning, but once I was able to [...]

Update on Maternity Leave

So today I got the clean bill of health from my doctor, and called my boss to let them know that I’m available to return next week. And he HESITATED. He told me that they had arranged to have the former employee come in and temp, and that he would have to get [...]

A Little Frustrating

So some of you may recall that I was able to extend my maternity leave by two weeks because of the documentation I got back from my doctor saying my recommended return to work date was October 13. My temp replacement, who is pregnant and due October 5, works her final day tomorrow.
That leaves [...]

Gangsta Look

Rather Gangsta in my Gangsta cap. Watch me busta move.

100th Post, or Twinners? I Think Not!

This is the 100th post at Scratch Mittens – that’s quite an accomplishment consider Cootiepie is still hovering around 300 or so. But in CootieBoy’s defense, most of those posts were during the pregnancy, so they probably shouldn’t count.
In any case, I’ve noticed while looking back through the early CootieGirl pictures (as I’ve been [...]

Not a Big Fan of Cars

In many ways CootieBoy is just like CootieGirl, but there is one important difference: CootieBoy hates being in the car. Whereas CootieGirl would nestle in for a long nap from the first time we put her in the carseat for a drive, CootieBoy is a screamer. As much as a one-month-old can [...]

Picture

Yesterday while cleaning off Cooper’s crate I found an old memory card from Denis’ camera. He popped it in and we found pictures of CootieGirl from August 2003, when she was four months old. It’s amazing how animated she was. Which leads me to my point of the post: We are [...]
