Rock Star

Labor Day Weekend had us out of the house for a few parties and Max here had to make an appearance to do a number or two for the crowd.

He really likes getting out and meeting new people, doing new things.  I hope that never changes about him.  Seriously, he didn’t even care about napping or eating.  He just loved being a part of a new adventure.

A good man

He stares and grabs at my breasts
“Sloppy kisser” is putting it lightly
Cries when he doesn’t get his way
Needy and clingy
Out in public, he always makes a scene
Farts whenever he feels like it
Burps after he eats
Sleeps during the day
No cell phone or car
No money in the bank

I’m so in love! xo

How to sleep better at night

My friend Colleen is pulling off this really amazing idea.  She’s raising $50,000 for her 50th birthday to donate to WriteGirl.  Well, she’s TRYING to raise $50,000 – so help her out – go to IndieGoGo and donate even just $5.  I guarantee you’ll sleep better at night.

Day job

We knew for awhile Max was getting frustrated with laying in his little lamb chair or bunny swing. He liked it much better when he was sitting up in his Bumbo chair.  In on the action.  Able to see what was going on.

But he wasn’t quite strong enough to sit upright for long periods of time so what do you do?  We’d end up holding him and carrying him around in a sitting position so he could be involved and see everything that was going on.

One day Max started sitting himself up and pulling foward while laying in his little lamb chair trying to see what we were doing.  So we knew that was it.  It was time for one of those bouncy seats – you know – those stationary toys where the baby can sit upright, bounce until their hearts content and play with all the little attached toys.  Hopefully keeping baby occupied for long periods of time.

But for now, I’ve dug out the booster seat I bought for him.  That seems to be doing the trick of keeping him content.  It attaches to a dining room chair and I fill the tray with toys and then put it in whatever room I’m in.

Since he’s not using the booster to eat from yet, I call it his ‘desk’.  And he and I work side by side.  Me typing on the computer.  He tugging, pulling, crunching, sucking, gumming everything and then throwing it all to the floor.  Sounds pretty good for a desk job.  Max seems to enjoy it – he screams with laughter! When is the last time you did that at your job?

Dog yoga

I know I have two of the strangest dogs. I enjoy every minute of their quirky personalities. Pixie must have been in the middle of some yoga positions and fell asleep.  And then woke up wondering ‘why the headache and sore neck?’
