i'm starting to get a bit homesick. everyone has shown us tremendous hospitality, but i do miss being in my own home, with my stuff (and rex's stuff), being able to walk around in my undies if need be, and being able to be "off duty" socially.

i bought rex this awesome Hawaiian shirt onesie:

unfortunately he had an explosive poop today and it is very, very soiled. (fear not: it is soaking and will be "good as new" again soon)

i am reading the book "babyproofing your marriage" and am really enjoying it. i love the quotes and anecdotes because they definitely reinforce that everyone goes through similar types of emotions and that keeping our marriage strong while taking on this whole parenting thing is do-able. i'm also starting a couple of other mommy-lit books, i was a really good mom before i had kids" and "it sucked and then i cried". my friend wendy leant me the second one. have any of you moms out there read any of these, or similar books (like "sippy cups are not for chardonnay" or "i'm too sexy for my volvo" or "the milk diaries")? i could use some good recommendations.

if you're craving more rex action, here's one of the recent videos that i put up on that awesome video site, youtube. rex just recently got interested in holding a set of toy keys. i'm still fascinated by the way he throws them around:
