Spoon wars

Peter verses the spoon. Peter has always been good about eating from a spoon. Now that he has his front uppers and lowers he has decided he likes to bite the spoon that feeds him. Tera said the first time he would smile at her while doing it. I haven’t played tug-of-war (I just wait patiently for him to let go), so maybe that is why I don’t get the smiles. And he doesn’t do it with plastic spoons, just the rubber coated metal ones.

Just for a second

I heard an ad for Travelers Insurance this AM. It announced that they’ve been under the red umbrella since Lincoln was president. My first thought was: they didn’t have color then…
Sigh.

I caught it right away, but in my defense: the pictures are always black and white. How would they KNOW the umbrella was red?

Sleep

Saturday AM I woke up at 5 AM. Peter hadn’t been up at all during the night! I snuck into his room, and he was still out!.
I woke up again at 6 AM, still silent!!!
At 6:45 I woke again. I heard him talking to himself quietly, so I let him stay in the crib. Tera woke at 7 and couldn’t believe Peter was will in bed. He heard us talking and decided it was time for breakfast. He slept until 5:45 AM Monday morning and almost 5 on Tuesday! Sunday was not so good (woke up twice) and up at 3:30 today, and but we appear to be moving in the correct direction with sleep… We just need to re-train Daddy!!

Deck is Done!

Some friends of Tera's came over and helped finish off the deck. Mostly they handed me stuff and I did all the hard stuff. Or maybe it was the other way around. There is a slight chance that they did most of the hard work ;-)

Tera and I also stained the front of the house from a dark natural to a sage green.

What's that on the floor?

That's never a good thing to hear. The thing on the floor is never a $100 bill. Especially when the thing is under the baby who is in the jumpy seat.

A diaper can act like a pastry piping bag under the right (or very wrong) circumstances.

Enough said.
