Spittin'

Elicia and I learned a long time ago that blowing in babies faces makes them hold thier breath. Until this week I always that that was just a fun way to teach them to swim, without thinking about the complications. Matthew is finally big enough to comfortably face forward in his Moby, so we put him in facing out, and headed out for a walk. All was fine until we rounded the corner into the wind. Poor kid is spitting and sputtering as he's trying to breathe while his reflexes are trying to make him hold his breath. We turned around and headed home.

Yep, he's spittin' a lot. Most of the time it's cute, sometimes it gets messy though. Poor kid has to wear a bib around all the time now.




We're pretty sure the drooling and spitting is a result of teeth. He'll chew on just about anything in site. Jamie got him Sofie the Giraffe to chew on and he loves it.


For those awaiting the bunny pictures, we couldn't find a cute bunny suit on short notice, so Jamie glued a tail to his diaper. I give you Baby Bunny.

(note the drool, it has a shadow!)

Matthew sleeps a lot of his naps in the ergo baby. For those unfamiliar, when sitting in this the baby faces you and wraps thier legs around your waist. The other day he took a really long nap on me. He was stuck like this for a while.



The other night, I got a unique treat, and Matthew crashed out on me and kept sleeping without the ergo and constant rhythmic bouncing. He hasn't done this in a few weeks. Isn't he sweet?



Jamie had me get out and set up the Jungle Jumper. He loves it. He's figuring out how to swing and play with the toys.





Gimme the camera!


Tummy time!


Summer is coming! Getting ready for the beach!
