My nephew Mason Allen - 5 months! I love this lil' boy MUCHO!
My Pride & Joy! He loves playing the drums!
Jadin being the little monster that he is!
To all of you future parents, current parents, past parents:
Never .EVER. leave a crawling baby unattended. Not for even 5 seconds. 5 minutes? Oh that could be a disaster just waiting .. oh wait it DID happen!
Quiet is never a good sound to hear from my 8 (almost 9) month old son. He is probably one of the most active babies I have ever seen. He is constantly going. Crawling, trying to walk, screaming, talking, you name it, he is on the move, and making noise! (and messes)
Anyway... back to my story. I found Mr. Man in the living room in the middle of his toys leaning over his favorite toy - his giraffe. He was sleeping. When he finally wears himself out enough to sleep, you let him sleep! So I (very carefully) laid him back, covered him with a blanket, and left him to his nap.
I went about my business cleaning up all his little messes, folding laundry etc. An estimate of 10 minutes later I went to check on him, and, *heart attack* he was GONE.
I looked under the couches (I have raised couches, and he likes to roll under them.) Nope, no baby. I looked behind the shelves, I looked in the dining room, kitchen, side note: by this time I am PANICKING! I then start down the hall and pass the first bedroom (without looking in it.) to his bedroom, my bedroom, and his bathroom. (All the while wondering how he could have possibly made it past me without me noticing!) Still, no baby!
I then begin looking for my phone... um, it's gone as well! Here I am freaking out because my baby is missing, and I can not find my phone ANYWHERE! Not a good combo. In the midst of my frantic search, I decide to turn off my music (that was playing rather loud) and see if I could hear anything. WA-LA! I hear "papa papa papa papa" coming from somewhere down the hall... I open the first bedroom's door the rest of the way and there, sitting in the middle of floor, talking on my phone that he had obviously found laying somewhere, covered in lotion that I had left on a shelf in that bedroom, in the middle of a pile of spilled potpourri he had dumped out of 2 vases, was my son talking on the phone to his grandpa. Yes, he had the phone to his ear repeatedly saying "papa" and smearing lotion everywhere.
*Sigh* You have no idea how many mixed emotions I had in those 12 minutes. My Father-In-Law laughed for a rather long time after I explained the story to him, and I too can now laugh about it. I am getting better at handling situations such as these considering stuff like this happens in my house everyday. With a dog, a puppy, a baby, a working husband & mom, you are BOUND to have some very interesting stories to tell!
Such a sweet face, right? I am thoroughly convinced that he dreams at night of ways to give me heart attacks, and make me run all over the place chasing him.
It's ok tho. I love this little boy with all my heart, and I couldn't imagine my life without him in it!
Him doing his famous fake laugh. It's pretty hilarious!
This is an old pic, but one of the only ones I could find. Just wanted to say that I love this man with everything in me, and am so thankful that God has blessed me with him.
The only really exciting thing that has happened recently is doing a make-over on Jadin's room! It is still a work in progress, but I am very happy with the outcome, and might even blog about it later today. Oh! And we picked the theme for his first birthday! I'm super excited about that! It's going to be so much fun.
♥Much Love♥
