dylan: you’re well adjusting to our crazy, impatient and massively disorganized world (lives!) in realizing that the very survival of your little self depends on your mother, you’ve begun to coo at her (and other important women in our life). drag them in with your cuteness and them, blammo!, you’ll get a free meal. well, [...]

dylan: what an incredible month. you were born in record time, by your nearly bionic mother. since then, you’ve spent the month sleeping it off. you don’t cry much or make too much fuss. you have broken out in an incredible amount of baby acne. we think it is the testosterone. we think you’re going [...]
