ADub is 7 months old today! After my rotation at the coroner's office this past month, I have learned that keeping a baby alive is actually hard work. We must be doing amazing! Thank you for staying alive.....and for turning many rough days at rotation into wonderful ones at home. Happy Birthday, Baby Dub!
Accomplishments this month:
- Chompers. A total of three. Two lower front and one upper front tooth. It's been touch-and-go there with the pain, but we've made it this far. Only 17 more to go.....BUT who's counting?
- We used to pretend to suck out of a straw from Mommy's drink, but now it's for real. The kid has figured out how to retrieve liquid using a straw. He's no pretender.
- We are getting on hands and knees but then failing to actually crawl. Any day now, my friend, any day.
- Laughter is inevitable when it comes to the tickle game. "Nose, ears, RIBS!!!" "Eyes, mouth, BELLY!!!"
- It's called gravity. Anything that leaves your hand will drop to the floor. Then of course, it will return by any sucker who chooses to pick it back up; this is not gravity.
- He loves giving hugs, grabbing onto skin you never knew you had (neck skin??), and giving big wet, open-mouthed kisses.
- ADub talks all the time. God knows what he's saying. No really, I have no clue what he's saying. Sometimes I feel left out.
- It turns out, screaming will get you what you want....most of the time. I mean who likes a screamer?
- His favorite book right now is "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andraea and his favorite song remains "Ophelia" by the Lumineers.
And now for the photo shoot:
 |
| Hanging with Daddy-o at McAlister's. One of my favorite places to (not) eat. |
 |
| Walks are amazing, especially when I am carried or rolled, because you see, I can't walk yet. |
 |
| Mommy selfie. She's pretty cool. |
 |
| X-rated.....but come on, look how cute those cheeks are! FYI, diaper changes have become a fight with the little dude wanting to roll over. It's actually very difficult to change a diaper while in the prone position. |
 |
| More Mommy selfies. |
 |
| Sometimes going to sleep is the hardest thing in the world (the first world). |
 |
| There might be multiple teeth piercing and slicing through my fleshy gums right now, but I am still fairly happy. |
 |
| We celebrated Daddy's birthday! |
 |
| Prepping this guy to be a grandpa someday. |
 |
| Our first Jeep ride. This is what "thrilled" looks like. |
 |
| Impressing the hot babes. |
 |
| Great Grandma B makes me laugh....and laugh and laugh. |
 |
| Hanging out with Aunt E and clearly loving it. |
 |
| Ellie the Elephant stuck on Mommy's head. |
 |
| It might go in there, but it certainly fits in my mouth. |
 |
| Who says you need to spend hundreds of dollars on toys when you've got kitchen utensils and cardboard boxes (please refrain from plastic bags....they really can suffocate a child). |
 |
| Blue outfit, blue passy, blue eyes, blue hat. Catch a theme? |
 |
| Butt Check: CLEAN |
 |
| Check out my new kicks Aunt Sharkwhisperer got me. |
 |
| Seriously, any rough day can be made better with this big, yet so little, smile. |
 |
| Did you know that it is extremely difficult for a 3 year old and a 7 month old...... |
 |
| .....to cooperate at the same time? |
