Who Is That Sneetch

with all those chins? I had to post this because it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
Sorry about the flash on the fridge. Daycare is always sending home the cutest crafts. Next to Sneetch Taevin you can see Eskimo Taevin, a part of Taevin's terrible towel and the edge of a heart that has a handprint on it. I'm a sucker for crafts!

The Amazing Tave

In a matter of 3 short days, Taevin perfected crawling...



and adopted a new goal immediately:

Yes, that's right, from the moment he figured out how to crawl, he was attempting to pull himself up on anything and everything he could reach. He was successful here, with the help of my laptop cord, which I was trying to get out of his hand, while taking a picture because I couldn't believe he did it.* Apparently my son would like to master every skill possible before he reaches seven months. Please slow down baby, I'm having so much fun with the crawling. I don't want it to end yet.

*How was that for a run on sentence?

We Have Crawl Action

REAL crawling. Not just the scooting and army crawling you have been doing. We are talking on hands and knees. Crawling. I got a video on my phone yesterday. Today I tried to get a video with the camera but every time I turned it on, you would stop to smile at me. Maybe being camera trained isn't such a good thing.... Oh well, will try again tomorrow.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

A Nap in Bear's Bed

I want to transition you to your crib in your own room. Right now you sleep in the pack n play in my room. Whenever you hear me at all, you freak out. Sometimes I give in and bring you to bed with me. It doesn't help either of us though. I wouldn't mind if you slept well in my bed, but you do not. You whine, whimper, thrash around. Unless I allow you to sleep attached to the boob. I'm sorry baby, you are getting a little too old to be sleeping attached to the boob.

Your morning nap was a little rough. I tried the crib first but after 20 minutes of flipping out, I gave up. I then tried the pack n play and got another 20 minutes of flipping out. I eventually gave up and laid down with you to nap.

Second nap, you fell asleep nursing. I carried you to your crib and put you down. 5 minutes of fussing later, you were asleep.
I think I'm nervous about putting you in your crib at night because you will be so far away from me. Hopefully after a few days of napping in there, I will be more confident about your ability to sleep in the crib for the night (or just more comfortable with letting you be so far away).

And yes, that is a stuffed animal and a blanket in bed with him...

Aw

6 month shots were today. My poor little sick guy did not enjoy the doctor visit. And was completely lethargic when we got home. He went to sleep sitting up while waiting for me to take my coat off.

Who is Sick?

Because you have been miserable for two days, I made you a doctor appointment. I got you home from daycare and suddenly my miserable little bear is happy, excited and into everything. So... are you sick or not sick? I will risk being called a liar and take you to the doctor, who will take one look at your face and say "This baby is sick?" Just like last time. Already trying to fool us all!
Now, of course, I am happy you are back to yourself and playing, laughing, joking, finding everything I accidentally forgot to put away. Perhaps the next time I want you to feel better, I will just tell you that you have a doctor appointment and that will do the trick!

Well, I am glad we went. You are on ear infection number 2. At the very least, I know my mommy intuition is right when it comes to my boy's health. You are on another round of antibiotics and hopefully you will feel better soon.
