I rang in the new month by spending the night before at a house in Wrighstville Beach with my friend and her family (and of course Slade came along). The next morning I helped her get ready for her special day! It was a beautiful day- one of the coldest ones since winter, but the sun came out after a night of heavy rain and it was wonderful!
It's only Tuesday afternoon and I've already had a very interesting couple of days! Yesterday morning Slade tried to eat a penny. I was minding my own business (very hard to do with a mobile child) when I heard him cough. I went over to check and make sure everything was okay- choking is one of my worst fears...I always panic and don't know what to to do. The first time he spit up I had a heart attack and thought he was dying. Anyways, I've kind of gotten over that fear because since he's gotten 6 (yes count them....SIX!) teeth he's able to chew bigger chunks of food, which also sometimes he chokes on. They've got to learn though right?! So, I picked him up and did a finger sweep and out came a...PENNY!! Delicious! My favorite thing about him is what I call his "scrunchy smile" which is kind of devious and much too sweet. He does it when he knows he's done something "bad" and then I can't help but laugh. Probably why every time he bites me (or anyone else) and I say "OUCH, SLADE! THAT HURT!" and then he does his "scrunchy smile" I start to laugh and so does he and the bad behavior is never corrected..he thinks I'm kidding! Biting came with the teeth and he left a serious mark on my shoulder the other day, and it's no joke.
I thought that the penny incident was exciting, until we got home from the grocery store later that afternoon.
If you don't have kids- you don't understand the planning and execution that goes into unloading a car full of groceries- especially if you baby can go places on his/her own. It involves a lot of arm strength (so you can get most of it in two trips) and quickness. I was lucky enough to inherit my old playpen and I should really use it more often...because when I got done unpacking our groceries I walked into the living room to find this
and not only was there water and wet cat food everywhere- he was crunching on some too. Yummy!
Today has been a bit more relaxed and I'm glad! I wore him out playing in our yard - he got nice and muddy and even though Dane broke our camera, I managed to get some pretty cute pictures.
