The Voice

He found it.

Our formerly mild-mannered baby is now mostly all about yelling (exhibit A) and raspberries (exhibit B).

Photo Stream Friday

So I thought I might try something...

I take a lot of pictures on my phone, but don't end up posting most of them here or to social media. It's more just capturing a funny moment or new things or being totally bored (and Mr. C likes to look at the back of my phone). So I thought maybe on Fridays I would just dump some of them here...because you really just come for the pics, right? My witty commentary is just a plus.

They'll just sort of show you what we're up to without me needing to build a whole post around something. And it's easy, because my phone pics show up in my computer automatically (thanks, Steve Jobs).

Or it might be really boring. We'll see.

(this is me)

Happy weekend. xoxo

Appetite for Destruction

You know all my carefully-curated toy and gear tips? You can forget about them. I picked up Which Wich for lunch and he would not stop staring at/yelling at my cup (in a way that was about the pattern on it, not wanting to drink out of it). So when I was finished, I rinsed it out and gave it to him. I'd like hundreds of dollars back, please.

June Citrus Lane

A new box came today--super exciting. To me, at least. Some days, the highlight is seeing what UPS brings.

(For background info on Citrus Lane, read this post.)

I think this was another decent haul. Looks like the theme is summertime/water play, which is A-OK by me. We love us some pool time.

iPlay Sun Protection Hat.
Stop it. So cute. A great item, and this is a trusted brand--I have a swim shirt from them. I already have a sun hat that I like, but I think it's good to have multiples for something so important. Poor bald babies don't have any hair to protect their little noggins.

Odd Duck from Boon
Perfect timing, as we just introduced a rubber duckie at bathtime (Andre Quackassi, the tennis-playing duck). Now that he is starting to reach and grab, it's fun to have a floating friend.

Happy Baby puree pouch
Mr. C has not started real food yet, but everyone I know likes these fruit and veggie pouches for on the go.

For mom: Foot Therapy Cream and samples
Let's be honest--probably not going to be spending a lot of time rubbing my own feet these days, but I'll let you know.

4-Month Checkup

We made it. Two shots (4 vaccines) and one oral vaccine. Three-hour nap down. Let the evil poops commence.

Four month post updated with stats.

Baby got a little hospital gown while we waited.

He's a growing boy!

Picture Me Rollin'

...because I can't quite do it on my own yet.

Outtakes

First of all, almost every single picture I took was blurry. So that should tell you a little something about what we're working with here. 

Also, I learned that the main purpose of baby shorts is to highlight the fact that babies don't actually have waists.

eh?

oh, just loungin'

as I sing a love ballad to Light Fixture, I shall play my chalkboard like a guitar

face eraser

don't worry, no babies were harmed in the...whatever is happening here

he's mad because I picked his booger.
