Bites, butts, and Bogey

I have pictures too; I just didn't want to ruin the alliteration :).

Bites - Owen is biting me and it hurts like hell! It used to be accidental, but now he's doing it on purpose. I tell him "no" very firmly, and if he does it again, I take him off the boob. Is there anything else I can do to get him to stop? It's so painful!

Butts - Owen has a nasty diaper rash right now. He is pooping a lot more frequently now, and (sorry TMI!) it's been this olive/neon green color. It's also a kind of slimy consistency too. Is this a normal result of starting solids, or should I be concerned? He's also started pooping in the middle of the night again, which he hasn't done in months.

Bogey - We finally got her into the house! The poor thing has been in the garage for the past 3 months, which wasn't so bad up until a couple of weeks ago, when it started getting really cold at night.

Brrr

* Josh Groban's rendition of "O Holy Night" gives me the chills, it's so beautiful.

* Had I known that Owen was going to nap this long, I would've started wrapping gifts! I'm sure that if I make my way towards the bedroom, he'll wake up, so I'll just keep my butt parked on the couch.

* Steve's copy of Rock Band arrived today, woo hoo! Now I can take the other one back to Target.

* I want to get some digital photo keychains for my parents, and I guess Steve wants one too. Other than that, and the gift I'm getting my brother (He wants The Bourne Ultimatum, which doesn't come out until tomorrow), I think I'm done!

* Speaking of brother, check out what I got my other brother. Is this badass or what?


Motorized, voice-activated replica of R2-D2™, the Interactive Astromech Droid from Star Wars™, will serve as your dedicated helper (an extendable utility arm holds a drink) and loyal friend.

He obeys commands, communicates with beeps and whistles, gestures, flashes his lights, swivels his dome, dances to a cantina song, plays games and navigates with sonar and infrared sensors.

Features three modes: Companion, where he's friendly; Game, where he plays tag, spins and dances; and Command, where he maneuvers in different directions.

He recognizes and reacts to 30 phrases; say Princess Leia's name and R2 emits excited wolf-like whistles, but mention Darth Vader and he shakes with fear!
