so, for an early lunch, my sweet little monkey decided to eat a catalog. again, it's just junk mail, but he does have good taste. expensive, but good- it was a tilley's magazine. i know he loves to rip paper, and since it wasn't doing him any harm, i let him rip away. and then it got quiet...
this is WHY it was quiet- his mouth was full of glossy, color-printed paper. yum.
this is what happened when i took away the shred of paper he was working on- he just went for the entire magazine instead. smarty pants!
and of course, once mommy started vigorously digging wads of paper out of his mouth, cole got the giggles. it was funny, i have to admit- me trying desperately to get every last mushy wad out of his mouth, him giggling and trying to hang onto it (good chewing, i guess), and to top it all off, his cheeks and tongue had this faint blue hue to them. and in the end, it was fun... cole was having a ball and there ARE worse things he could have been munching on. really, i'm not a bad parent- we DO feed him, he doesn't have to eat paper to survive!! :)

Cute pix of Cole giggling!
Just read your comment on Elissa's blog and wanted to make sure you know craving ice (especially during pregnancy) is a sign of iron deficiancy. I posted there about good herbs and supplements to take, but just want to make sure you get taken care of too!

thanx, audrey! fortunately, the water is not very good down here, so that's keeping me from eating much ice. i can deal with the unsatisfied craving (for now), because it's better than getting sick from the icky water... :)
Eating ice is not bad in itself, it's the craving of it that is a sign of iron deficaincy...try Floradix Iron with herbs, it'll work wonders!
