cease and desist

I will no longer be reporting on any of Kai’s activities or progress. It seems that anything I write becomes fodder for the judgment cannons. It’s getting ridiculous. For example, I have mentioned Kai’s bowel movements exactly three times in the blog, and somehow I get told that Kai has very frequent bowel movements, and that we must not be nursing properly. Or I mention that Erin and I went to one wine dinner and those words get turned into Erin and I are alcoholics who drink every day.

So, here’s the latest update: Kai is still alive.

Just kidding about the cessation of updates, but I am amazed at how much unsolicited advice we get on child-rearing. Everyone, it seems, has opinions on the best way and if you’re not following their advice you are a bad parent. I, for one, am tired of it.

Anyways, Kai is doing great. He’s started to make a super-cute cooing sound, which I have not heard yet, and things are coming along nicely. Erin and I have begun to study sign language so that we can teach Kai to communicate with us. I’m really looking forward to the day that Kai actually signs back to us.

Until next time, let the good times roll.
