"You can't whine and bellyache because somebody else got a good break and you didn't."- John Wayne

June 23rd: Sometimes I don't know how to respond when someone asks me how Duke is doing. There are fine lines between closing people out about information about your child (i.e. poop, spit up, and other things that are TMI) and overly sharing (i.e. hourly updates on your child). I tell people Duke is awesome when they ask because....he is. He is always happy, he doesn't cry, he doesn't whine and every time I see him I can't believe he is mine. He sleeps through the night, he cracks up consistently and doesn't mind having other people hold them. It's funny when he plays with his bat and makes him fly, though he doesn't know how to fly yet. Just an awesome awesome kid. That's the best adjective for him.
