Photo woes

These are the kind of photos I get of Baby Boy these days. Blurry cellphone shots where he’s already out of frame before the shutter clicks. There’s no time to grab my real camera, because he’s most likely climbing onto a hutch or launching himself off a chair.

Oh, the days when every day was a photoshoot. When I would dress him up, lay him on a blanket or sit him on a chair, and snap away. I had so many good photos of him!

I fear that when I get time to scrapbook the last few months, I’m just going to have a bunch of these blurry running-away shots.

At least I will always remember this nonstop time accurately. As a time of constant motion!

Teefers

He’s got seven of them.

For a kid who barely had two on his first birthday, this is huge.

When he smiles, he is such a little BOY. He has actual teeth in his smile, and WOW I am not ready for him to go to kindergarten SO WHY DOES HE LOOK SO OLD?!?!

On the plus side, he is finally able to chew his food better. I have been giving him thin little sticks of food (apple, sandwich, cooked carrot) and he nibbles them like a bunny with all of those fantastic front teeth.

I heard rumors about kids getting one-year molars, but I suspect that is a dirty lie. Baby Boy will be about eight before he gets any back teeth, at this rate.

You know you’ve been at home with your baby too long when …

… an eye exam is a really fun solo outing, and you excitedly comment on their “fun games” — like the one where you look at blinking lights and click a button like you’re on Jeopardy OMG FUNNNN!

Toddler pizza

Whole-wheat tortilla with chicken, sauce, veggies (cauliflower, red pepper, green pepper, and yellow pepper) and oodles of cheese.

Totally drooling now, waiting for my adult-pizza to be ready!

My Husband Rocks: Passive agressive edition

Dear Darling Husband,

Thank you for spending so much of your time on Kijiji searching for used trucks, snow plows and tractors.

Even though we have no need for any of these things at the current time, and are putting all our money towards our House of Dreams, it makes total sense that you are devoting so much time to this search.

I really appreciate that — should I suddenly need a snow plow or John Deere — you will know exactly how much we should pay for a quality secondhand one in the area.

Love, your wife
xoxo

P.S. Haha
