New Syllables

Ian's mouth has been uttering some adorable babble lately. Out little linguistic giant is starting to say his "i"s and "th"s. These past few days have been (phonetically): "eye eye eye, dye dye dye, bye bye bye." Yesterday he started with the: "thuh, thuh, thuh" with his tongue under his top gums and resting on his lower lip. And he's still going strong with the: "da da da da." So cute! He'll be speaking Japanese, Spanish and English by next month.

If I smell like maple syrup...

It's the fenugreek! I've begun taking this supplement since milky moms swear that it helps boost milk production. Sleep has been a declining commodity lately in the Hindall-Wright household, so this tends to make my supply dip. According to the angels at La Leche and the moms on the LLL forums, fenugreek is an herb with a proven track record. The best part is, it smells like maple syrup and people who take it also end up smelling like a stack of hotcakes. Yum!
