Your first Labor Day. It was probably like any other weekend day for you but man, mommy & daddy sure enjoy the extra day off work. I guess we didn't do anything too spectacular - daddy was still catching up on laundry & I was doing dishes. We ran errands - Sams & Walmart. I put you in your sling carrier at Sams facing out and you loved it. I think you loved seeing everyone and being able to wave your arms & move your legs. You were cracking me up! It almost reminded me of being pregnant - you were shaking up my body with your little legs going crazy. We went over Great Gramma's for a BBQ where you saw almost all of your Lang family. You played in the bouncey bounce for an HOUR without even getting fussy. You missed it for over a week since we left it over Gramma Lang's. You even ate green beans and cheese potatoes while bouncing. After your bounce time, you had some of Great Gramma's Jello Cake - YUMMY. Mommy is dieting so I didn't get to eat but a bite of yours. However, you seemed to love it. You were covered with red jello cake and white whipped topping. Welcome to one of Mommy's favorite desserts young man!
You sure are in a good mood but you aren't feeling good. I think it is still your allergies and I wonder if you have another tooth coming in as you seem to feel a bit better after I rub some orajel inside there. Due to constant threats of people calling Child Protective Services on me, we no loner reach for the Jackie Daniels. :)
Something new to tell you is that we are trying to lay you on the floor to play more. We typically rotate you between your bouncer, walker and the recliner with us. But, you don't really want to hang out with us much anymore so now, you are spending more time on the floor with your toys. Well, I should clarify that I put your toys out for you but your favorite playthings are pieces of paper, shoes and hangers. :) Once you are done playing, you get fussy and then scoot over to the recliners to be picked up. You are quite efficient at scooting but still don't want to crawl.
Tuesday
Today wasn't too much of a stellar day for me & you, huh? Mommy just didn't have too much patience and you just didn't want to do your normal activities. You came home after your visit with Grampa Keith and we had Chef Boyardee for your dinner. You ate about 1/4 of a can. Daddy thought that you would like them so we decided to get some at Sams with the caveat that he would eat them if you didn't! Mommy really doesn't like Chef Boyardee or the smell of the sauce even. Afterwards, you walked in your walker for about 10 minutes, played on the floor for about 15 minutes then, you were fussy pants. Daddy wasn't home so it was just me and you. I think you sensed my weakness and decided to exploit it :) You were up until 9:00 and just couldn't get settled in anything. Finally, you ate some bottle and you went to sleep with no fussiness.
We are going to have to go get you some clothes buddy. It is getting cold out and when we did our shopping last time, I did 18 months thinking it would be warmer longer. Now, it is colder and your clothes are all too big or too chilly. Going to need to clean out the dresser and get you some new clothes. Well, new to you anyway :)
I will leave you with some scrapbook pages. As you may have been able to tell during your first 8 months, I go through cycles where there are a LOT of pages then cycles where there are NO pages. During those times, I am typically reading :)
