On Terms of Endearment

One of the subtle, yet profound, changes that go along with a new child is the very gentle shift in Daddy and Mommy's relationship. Suddenly, it is not quite so clear to whom "Darling," "Sweetheart," "My love," and other pet names refers. Several conversations include, "What was that Honey?" "Huh? Oh, I was talking to Xander..."



Just a preview of things to come, I'm sure.




Side note, for the fecally minded: His stool has changed from the sticky blackish green pudding to dark yellowish-brown soup. Mmmmmmmm...Daddy even had the fortune to change him serially as Xander promptly filled the second diaper before it had even been firmly closed (the fortune part is the fact that the yellowish-brown soup remained inside the diapers).
