OK, maybe in just one place, but London has a tooth!!! I cannot express how much excitement I have via my blog, but it is alot!!! I found out that he had one while we were having an informal dinner party and London suddenly bit my hand!! Then I screamed, "HE HAS A TOOTH!!!" London's friend, Brady, who is one month older then London (exactly 1 month) got his first tooth awhile ago and I was slightly embarrassed by how excited his mom was when she found out but now I totally understand!! YAY!!
I am afraid that I am not baby proof yet. How much time do you think I have? 1 month? 2? Yeah right, London now does the downward dog pose...
only in baby form,
and he also does the baby rock while he is on his knees! He is insane!! He will be EIGHT MONTHS old so very soon!! I am so sad, but so happy at the same time. Boy motherhood is way more exciting then I thought it would be! Anyway ta ta for now!!
rockabye my baby now
rockabye my love
rockabye my baby now
rockabye my love
here's a little lullaby
here's a little song
here's a little lullaby
show you nothing's wrong
what you gonna take when you walk from me
what you gonna make of your world to be
what you gonna sing with your harmony
learn to be yourself and you'll always be
free
free
I love this song so much, it really says alot.
London is now scooting all over the place, and getting little things he shouldn't and putting them in his mouth! AHH!! The mobile stage has begun :) He is giggling more and more each day so that is very exciting. Yesterday we went to the KC Jiggle Jam and saw They Might Be Giants in concert!! They were amazing! London had so much fun! We had to buy him a little string puppet because the moment that he saw it he giggled, it was so cute! Other then that nothing new and or exciting has happened here.....
So I thought I would post the link here. Every place I put it gets me another entry!! http://www.alongfortheride.biz/contest-s/49.htmWin a Free Ergo Baby Carrier from Along for the Ride
I will post more relevant things regarding my life later :)
I have been telling myself for days now that I needed to post on her and of course that didn't happen. So my plan is to post what I had wanted to post over the last few days, all in one day. Here it goes...
April 2nd-
I am the mother of a five month old! I cannot believe that my little baby boy who not to long ago came flying out of me, is now five months old! Where did the time go, you ask? I am asking the time gods now, I left them a message and still waiting for a response. :)
April 7th-
When I first became a mom I was set on letting London tell me when he is ready for things, i.e. solids. As he became bigger I thought for sure that he would at least nurse a little less so I could have a break, but no, he still to this day, nurses every 2 hrs, just like a little newborn. So Bryan and I finally decided it was time, it was time to use the highchair for more than just a front row seat to mommy's cooking show, it was time to have extremely nasty diaper and say bye bye to the "easy to clean, breastmilk" diapers. It was time for solids. He is old enough to handle them so we are not doing anything harmful to him by giving him solids. We were fully prepared, bib, check, wipes, check, food not to thick, check. Everything was in order for a very messy experience as a little baby eats cereal for the first time. Well London took one bite, looked at us, smiled and opened his mouth for more!! We gave him more, and more, and more until the bowl was completely empty! Holy crap this kid can eat, he kept fussing everytime we weren't feeding him as fast as he wanted. He was totally ready for solids, no doubt about it! So now, not only am I the mother of a 5 month old, but I am the mother of an eating machine! You might also like to know that he STILL nurses the exact same amount as before, he even nurse before he eats cereal and still manage to eat the whole bowl and then nurses afterwards! As if he couldn't get any bigger!
Also today we went to the farm for the first time! London has an obsession with animals. Anytime Mocha is around he will stop doing whatever he is doing, whether it be screaming, nursing, whatever, and he will look at her! He loved the farm, although it could be possible that mommy and daddy love it more.
yes, he is sleeping and yes, he is a butterfly.
April 10th-
I had an interview today to watch a little baby here at the house. I don't know why I am so nervous, I just am. I hear back from her on April 11th, so wish me luck!
OK, did that wrap up the past few days? I hope so because it is 12:30 and I am off to bed!
That's right my boy is a rolling monster. Last night Bryan and I were celebrating Earth Hour
when all of a sudden Little Man decides he is tired of just being confined onto his back. No, he wants more, he needs to be mobile, to explore the world. That is exactly what he has been doing....exploring. My days of putting him on a blanket and walking away to do the dishes, or to check my e-mail are over, I am now needed to make sure that my nearly five month old son doesn't get into anything! Although he can roll onto his stomach easier than he can go back to his back because his arm gets in the way. So now I am forced to turn my house into some sort of a rolling baby arena.....
I hadn't realized how big my boy has really grown until I recently saw a picture of him fresh out of the womb. It is amazing to me how fast he has grown. When I put him on his tummy he immediately rolls over, when I laugh, he laughs, he loves to scream (not a sad scream), he loves to talk, and grab at things. I just wish it didn't happen so fast, and as I sit here and type this my little man is sleeping soundly and I miss him so. I love every minute I have with him, and I will cherish these days forever.
