6 months- I wait
with bated breath to hear my child call me Mama.
18 months- I wait
with bated breath to see if I’m successfully able to sneak through a
whole pee sesh without him banging on the door screaming MAMA!
6- Read to a baby
who’s more interested in chewing pages. Book = my choice.
18- Read to a
baby who’s singular goal is making sure I never, ever, EVER forget a single
word in the fireman book. I’ll probably be muttering it on my death bed
when I’m all incoherent and crap.
6- I write every
little milestone down in the baby book.
18- I find the
baby book in the toilet. Awesome.
6 – I can’t wait
to see him roll over, crawl, pull himself up.
18- I finally get
why people use those leash things.
6-If all else
fails, give babe boob.
18-If all else
fails, put babe on kitchen counter. What’s up with that?
6-Older cousins
own you kid. Don’t even think about playing with something for more than five
seconds.
18- You sit on older
cousins. You remind them you have tall parents. They don’t.
6- You eat every new
little fruit or veggie we puree for you. We applaud ourselves for raising a kid
who eats healthy.
18- Sweet potatoes
with Nutella? We do what it takes. Annie’s Mac & Cheese and Rocky All Natural
Chicken Tenders are my best friend. Sometimes you’re on a total hunger strike.
Just don’t chain yourself to a tree kid.
6- I’m sure that my
baby is the most beautiful/cute/perfect human that has every graced the planet with
his presence.
18- No change
here people. No change at all.
Eighteen and I’m even more in love. Believe it.
You are hysterical! Probably even more so because I don't have children yet.
ReplyDeleteYour little guy is super-cute! Can't wait to have one like him!
I say do it! Go to Italy, buy your house, settle in, have baby. Even if you don't want to, cause I love watching people have babies. *not the actual having part. More like the bringing home part.
ReplyDeletehehehe, i love your posts! they make me smile ... so happy to have caught up!
ReplyDeleteand i know that this post is suppose to be about beautiful Phin but i love your kitchen! loving the blue with the red accents ... that is what i want to do in our porch ... ok, sorry about that, back on topic ... that Phin of yours is adorable!! :)
HAHA! So funny and TRUE. I totally relate...especially to the leash comment. I was always one of those people, shaking my head at the mom with the child tethered close by...now I'm wondering where exactly I can find one of those miraculous inventions. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right, Phin is downright beautiful. :)
Haha! I love it! He's such a cute stud!
ReplyDeleteFaith - I have painting issues. I have painted my living room walls no less than 8 time and we've lived here 4 years. So while the blue is bright and fun, it's time is limited. Although I am feeling pretty lazy these days...so it's got that going for it.
ReplyDeleteAshley- I have one in one Amazon cart but I can't pull the trigger. I had to chase him through the TJ Maxx dressing room in my underwear tonight, I'm buying the friggen leash.
Audrey- Thanks! Are you counting down the days now. Seconds?!! I know I post something about your babe every five seconds, but I get so dang excited for people. It's the best ever!
I read this post yesterday, but today I kept thinking about how a leash really would make my life so much easier. No more battles of wills involving will she come when I tell her to. Ugh. So exhausted by this defiance!
ReplyDeletehahahhahahahahhahahahahhahaha
ReplyDeleteYou are such a great mother!
