Week 31: El Conejo!

That post your Dad wrote yesterday about feeling comforted by the fact that I stay home with you had me laughing for hours, little O. If only he knew the trouble we get to every day. Like today for instance when you were reading your favorite book (and of course eating its string) and then it fell on you sending you into a tizzy. And how when I was nursing you this morning a feather from our down comforter fell on my chest and somehow fell in your mouth but you wouldn't let me get it out so you swallowed it. Or how I terrorize you with spanish words all day in a weird voice..."el conejo!" "la nariz!" "chocolate!" I swear I must have tourette's syndrome.

I let the weird spanish voice slip out yesterday while we were all driving home yesterday. Your Daddy said it scared him. You love it though (I think).

The funniest part of our day though is when Daddy gets home. I have to start acting normal again. All day you're my captive audience and I do all kinds of weird things including acting like a horse (I actually have a whole farm animal repertoire). Sometimes you laugh, but most times you just look at me. You're so much fun sweetie! It's like having a toy, best friend, and pet all at once. I love you!

Week 31: What a life...

Every morning I go to work and leave you and your Mommy sleeping next to each looking so cute! I say goodbye to the both of you and kiss you both, only you stay asleep when I do so and your Mommy doesn't. All day I think about the two of you and love it when your Mommy sends me pics of some stuff the two of you have been doing.

Once I'm out of work I rush home to hold you in my arms and kiss your Mommy! And then there just aren't many hours in the night where I can play with you before you go to sleep and I'm stuck waiting until 6pm the next night.

During the day your Mommy tells me in addition to nursing and sleeping you mostly have fun with her playing all kinds of games. If you ask me since you've been staying home I think things are much better! You seem happier, healthier, and cuter than ever!

There's no price you can put on the security I feel while at work that your Mommy is taking good care of you, something no matter where you were in daycare I could never feel. Just yesterday I overheard a co-worker talk about a child falling in daycare off of a sofa and needing staples in his head because of the injury. I don't have to worry about that with you staying at home with Mommy.

I also am excited because your Mommy now gets to spend some quality time with you and bond with you. She also seems real happy now.

So I guess there just isn't much bad I think about with regards to our decision to pull you from daycare and have your Mommy take care of you, and if there is something negative it is minuscule compared the positive of the move. What a life you have little guy. What a life. I love you so much and have so much fun just holding you and looking at you.

Chat later O.

Love,

Pa

Week 31: Happy cumplesemana!







Hi O :)

Happy 31st week birthday!

You were not very happy about taking your cumplesemana photo today. Perhaps it's because you took two photos last week for your cumplesemana & your cumplemes.

Likes this week: putting strings in your mouth, sticking out your tongue

Disklikes: Mommie sneezing (you cry instantly)

Week 30: Solids!

Hi O :)

So you finally ate solids for the first time on Saturday. We gave you a little bit of Earth's Best Whole Grain Rice Cereal. I was hoping that you wouldn't like it at all and say, "only boobie juice for me, Mama!" but sadly you didn't. You looooved the cereal and looked so cute eating it.

Since your Mommie and Daddy are rookies we completely forgot to put a bib on you. Sorry sweetie!


No pesticides for Mister O


1 tablespoon of cereal


5 tablespoons of breastmilk


O is not sure about this


Open wide Mister O




Delicious!


Messy O


You got more on Daddy than you did in your mouth


All done!
