People love giving advice and Mary (that's me) loves taking it.
When Evan was a baby we were living in China and people would tell us that if we wanted Evan's head to be handsomely flat, we should make him sleep on a board. Too bad it didn't work though, stinking liars.
When Meici was born it was the dead of winter so I mostly stayed home. I got a lot of TV advice though, and ended up buying a magic bullet, an ab rocket and a couple cans of spray on hair.
This time around people keep telling me that I need to "sleep when the baby sleeps." This is a tough one because the baby sleeps like 20 hours a day and I can only manage 17 hours, 18 tops, before I just have to get up and do something.
What baby you ask?
That's right, I haven't introduced you to him.
Pardon me.
With all the sleep a new baby brings there's not much time left for blogging.
So... after three months of pushing, here he is:
His name is Oliver and his neck folds smell like a caesar salad.

Oh, those cheeks are so kissable! Many congratulations. I hope Meici and Evan are enjoying playing with matches and writing on the walls with permanent marker while you're sleeping.
Cute! Caesar salad neck rolls are totally worth 3 months of pushing.
Congratulations!! I've been wondering about you and the little guy. At least your baby's neck smells like a decent food item, my baby's neck smells like a cheese barfed on him.
I was just thinking about you today! In a super creepy, stalkery way.
Babies still scare me, but I do like fat babies, so he's in my posse.
Congratulations, Miss Mary!
Only 3 months of pushing?? Wimp.
He is so cute!! Peyton also had Caesar salad smelling folds :) Love his name too!! Congrats!
Welcome, Oliver! You're beautiful--I mean handsome!
For your mama, here's my mama's advice when I had newborns: Do whatever you have to do to keep the baby and you and your other kids alive, and besides that only do what you most want to do. (If you can even find a little time to do what you want to do.)
Oh my goodness!! He is adorable!
I'm glad you finally introduced him. I love the name Oliver. Enjoy those Ceasar Salad smelling neck rolls...the salad days go by quickly.
He is SO ADORABLE!! Thanks for sharing! I'm glad somebody's getting enough sleep...
He's beautiful!! I have so missed your posts!! Welcome back to blogland!!
Yeah, he's cute. Now will you go put him in his swing and please blog some more!
P.S. A flat back of the head is attractive? I had no idea.
He is adorable!!!!! I just want to smell him. I miss babies. Congrats on Mr. Oliver. Oh, and do share the details!!! Id love to hear a Mary birth story.
congrats!!!!! he is uber adorable and i love ceasar salad.
aww, only 16 lbs.. what a tiny little thing. love those cheeks. so so happy for you, congratulations. love the name!
Did you sleep on a board while you were growing him? Because he is one handsome boy! Congratulations, Mary (and Z)!
I want to gobble him up like an egg roll.
Wait, is that racist?
Is the cesear thing a good thing or a bad thing? The baby himself looks great:)
Oh my gosh, I love you! Hahahaha! It's behind my baby's ears that really is the treat---gym socks. I'm jealous of caesar salad though, no fair.
CONGRATULATIONS!
He's so garlic and parmesan stinking adorable!
I'm so glad you decided to make a new post...I was starting to wonder if you were still alive since I only ever hear from Zi on this whole deal. PLUS I had to start reading "Bossypants" by Tina Fey for comic relief and as funny as she can be she isn't have the writer you are. I hope you can figure out a way with 3 kids to spend more time with your blog baby
ha! very nice to meet your baby. the neck smell never seems to disappoint, except mine have never smelled like a cesaer salad. they always smell like butt.
Congratulations! He's beautiful.
Oliver is my favorite boy name. We never got to use it, what with all the girls we had, but oh how I love it. What wonderful taste you have.
You just have to try harder with the sleep thing. Eventually you'll work up to sleeping when he does. Probably around the time he starts high school.
Cute! And congrats!
Wow, so cute! I love all the pictures you posted of him on your last post. Keep on posting!
