If Anyone Else Threw Up on Me I’d of Washed my Pants Already

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Camper got us good tonight.  Power puked and rebounded off his swadle (oh, the swadle), then Daddy’s chest and Mommy’s pants.  Miraculously, none ended up on the floor.  Nice job.  He then pooped his clean pants and I swear, giggled.  He is talking SO MUCH lately.  He’s been saying, “Gooo.”  So today I decided to say “Gooo” to him.  I looked at him and said, “Gooo.”  He looked at me and after a minute said, “Gooo.”  John and I were amazed.  WE HAD A CONVERSATION.  Seriously.  We went back and forth with Gooo a few times, and then we were done.  I had a conversation with my son :)

In other news, I’ve been working on my vocab list for the GRE and my applications to the three universities (although I may cut that down to two…) I want to apply to for grad school.  I’ve also made a hundred phone calls, took a nap, went to the gym, and got us a $120 rebate from our insurance company.  Sweeeeeeet.

Parenting Tip #356

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Another little parenting tip: If your baby has had a day of lots of spitting up, if you happen to get the urge to look lovingly into his face as you burp him…resist.  Turn his head the other way, or, at the VERY least, close your mouth.

Just trust me on this one.

In other news, Camper had his very first awake smile today! (He usually just smiles in his sleep.) He’s been building up to it for a few days now with half smiles that turn into grimaces, but while I was changing his diaper today he let loose a big huge smile.  At me?  No.  At John?  No.  It was Jesus.  The picture of Jesus we have hanging over his changing table.  I mean, OK, that’s sweet.  He smiled at Jesus.  But is it ok for me to get a little bit jealous?  Lightening bolts?  Naw.  He understands.
