		<title>Three</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Henry was up this early morning at close to his birth hour (which some of you may recall was 2-something in the morning), hysterically screaming that his tushy hurt. Apparently, he was awoken by a wicked diaper rash. He carried on long enough that I actually contemplated taking him to the emergency room. It was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Number Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We found out today that Number Two is a girl, and we are very, very excited. Raphe is over the moon because, as I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard him say, he&#8217;s counting on the fact that a little girl will want to hold his hand longer (i.e., until she&#8217;s older) than a little boy would. We&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s New</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, not very often, but sometimes, it&#8217;s actually sunny here. And Henry stops to smell the peonies. (The rain destroyed them the day after they all bloomed. Damn you, rain!) Here he is in the big boy bed. As you can see, it&#8217;s just his crib with one of the sides replaced with a short [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring of Our Discontent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hesitate to call what we&#8217;re experiencing in Chicago &#8220;spring&#8221;. It&#8217;s been rainy and damn cold for what seems like forever. We get a peek of sunshine maybe every 10 days. When I say the Chelis are experiencing some very acute cabin fever, you have to understand that we are all going bananas over here.

		<title>Here&#8217;s the deal.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re having another baby. It&#8217;s been a little more difficult than when I was pregnant with Henry, what with all the puking and the reflux and the insomnia. Raphe&#8217;s had to shoulder a little more than his share of the household duties as a result, and consequently posting here at Barnabas Monkeypants dropped off a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Second Class</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now, as you all know, I love Henry. I adore him. I can&#8217;t wait to get him out of his crib in the morning (yes, we&#8217;re still in the crib&#8230;), and I love playing with him and eating with him and reading to him. He has made my life better than I could have ever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Current obsessions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Before Henry was born, Raphe began collecting classic cartoons so the two of them could watch them together. Henry watches his little DVD player in the morning while eating his breakfast, and we have an extensive library of stuff for him to watch. When he got tired of Thomas the Tank Engine and Yo Gabba [...]]]></description>

Now I&#8217;mma gonna tell you what we&#8217;ve been up to since Christmas, so y&#8217;all will get off my damn back. And I&#8217;m going to do it in photo essay [...]]]></description>

		<title>What We&#8217;ve Learned: Month 28</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often worry that we&#8217;re spoiling Henry. While we&#8217;re not buying him toys left and right and we leave Target without a Matchbox car more often than not (a great gift for under a buck), I often wonder if he has too much as it is, and, if he does, will it really affect him.

		<title>Merry Chicago Christmas, You All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Henry may actually burst from the excitement of opening SO MANY PRESENTS tomorrow morning. A package filled with wrapped gifts from Raphe&#8217;s sister arrived yesterday afternoon, and Henry was so pissed Raphe wouldn&#8217;t let him open them that he gave him the silent treatment. A two year old! Giving the silent treatment! Just crazy.]]></description>
