In a feeble attempt to cook dinner last week, I burned my nipple. I should never go in the kitchen again.
Sawyer started vomiting on Friday and didn't stop until after we took him to the emergency room on Friday. While I was cleaning up the putrid mess, and steam cleaning the carpet, I had a sudden feeling that something wasn't right. The steam cleaner seemed to be bubbling. It never did that...
Instead of pouring the carpet cleaner into the steam cleaner, I used DRANO. To clean the carpet. I didn't realize this until the carpet, was clean.
Working. Raising Kids. Dogs. Husband = I AM MAXED OUT...
However, it does provide for good laughs... and I am not embarrassed to admit my shortcomings.
He has dimples. And he is a boy. So, I am pretty much a sucker for the rest of my life.
See, in our house, since Scout was born almost 4 years ago, I have been the 'bad cop.' Because, Bob is a sucker for Scout, the little girl in the house. I play 'bad cop' with her and Daddy, is well, the 'good cop.' If she blinks... he does whatever she wants. It doesn't work on me. Or, lets just say - not all the time.
Now, with Sawyer and his dimples, I can see Bob's dilemma. So, perhaps this Mama gets to be a 'good cop' with Sawyer and he can be the 'bad cop.'
Sawyer is all boy now. He has two teeth on the bottom and two coming in on top. He is just shy of 9 months. He is rough and tumble. He giggles. He loves his sister. He thinks she is the coolest. When they giggle together, everything, everything makes sense to me. Those are my favorite moments - when my kids are giggling together.
He is on the verge of crawling and life as I know it will get busier then it already is. He is going to move fast, there is no doubt.
He is finally sleeping in his own crib - not through the night - but he is IN A CRIB... its a start. Co-sleeping is a beautiful thing. 9 months is a LONG time to not sleep through the night. Soon, the boy will learn to self-soothe, I am hoping.
He is a doll baby. And he is HUGE. He weighs almost 20 lbs. which Scout didn't weigh until after her 1st birthday. I do believe he is going to be tall like his Daddy! It is a pleasure to watch him learn each day. He is in the mode where everyday he has a new trick. Pretty soon, he and Scout will be stealing the car.
