I have thought long and hard about what to write about, as there is so much added pressure with blogging every day. Yesterday I had a ton of ideas go through my mind about some great topics. But I have Mommy brain, and I don't remember any of them save some small Andy things. Why didn't I write them down? Oh well, onto the baby...
Andy's first tooth broke through (although barely) on Saturday. He is no longer the gumless wonder. Yes, I realize that should be toothless wonder, but that doesn't sound quite as good. So now when we do "sitting on Mommy" time after his feedings, I have to be careful while he clomps on my fingers as he looks around the room. And I'm just going to assume he will never bite my nipple until he does. Because the thought makes me cringe.
Our other big accomplishment was yesterday. Suddenly, the jaw goes up and down when we whine, and with that there's a new D sound. So suddenly my son is calling out to his father all the time. Peter is stoked, and he's throwing it in my face all day long. But as Andy still reaches out for me, looks at me when I'm not holding him, and generally loves me (maybe only because of the milky goodness but who cares), I'm ok with this. But I'm also now pushing him to start with that M noise. And maybe I'll play with him mind and start calling Daddy Mommy as well so that Peter can't gloat for too long.
I was supposed to be on a podcast this weekend. It's been postponed, and I'm glad as the idea of everyone hearing my voice creeps me out to no end. I know I'm going to forget how to speak whenever I do it. I'll talk too fast, stumbling on my words, and basically everyone will know that I have an IQ that qualifies me for state aid and mental wards.
Finally, I am very disapointed with the number of kids I got last night. I think there were about 7. And some people actually just walked past my house. The porch light was on, my front light was on, I had the door open. Why would they do that? I made Peter get more candy on his way home from work yesterday because we ran out two years ago, and as we'd already started eating it, I thought we'd run out this time as well. Instead, I have a huge bowl full of my favorites, like Reeses Pieces, Reeses PB Cups, Fast Breaks, Reeses PB Cups with Caramel, and Reeses Inside Outs. So that baby weight is coming back on, just in time for the holidays.
