Silly Baby

I have a little comedian on my hands. He loves to do all sorts of goofy things. The latest thing he was doing was "biting" Chris's finger and laughing when Chris would pretend it hurt. It was so funny. He still does the little pacifier game with me, only now he's branched out into using other toys. He was giving me his keys the other day and was doing very well with sticking them into my mouth.

With his new-found hilarity comes trouble. Now he doesn't like to be fed baby food. He just likes to blow it out all over everywhere. The only jarred foods I've been able to give him have been the spaghetti and the lasagna in a meat sauce, and I think that's because those are like mini Spaghettios. But he looooves to feed himself, although he will gum stuff for a bit then spit it out. So that's been a bit of a struggle. He really enjoys having Golden Puffs or Honey Nut Cheerios or even the occasional piece of cinnamon Life for breakfast.

We're finally getting the tip of his first tooth poking through I think. Or it's just about to. Kid hasn't been sleeping very well at night lately. Last night wasn't as bad, but the night before he talked to himself ALL NIGHT. SO of course I didn't get any sleep. But you know, that's how it goes.

Overall he's a good baby. Just going through some less than delightful phases but we'll get through them.

Chris and I bought some stuff for his birthday party next month. I can't believe my baby will be one in just over a month. It's gone by so ridiculously fast. I love where he is and I love seeing him growing and changing but man I miss my newborn. He had the hiccups the other night and I was watching him play and I just thought, wow, a year ago those hiccups shook my entire tummy. It's going to be fun but kinda sad I think. I don't know. I've been pretty emotional lately. It's stressful.

We are so blessed to have such a wonderful, beautiful, healthy baby. We love him so much.
