We have a first TOOTH! Ah, yes. Finally the right front bottom tooth has broken the surface and may now scratch up any finger that gets near it. But alas the one right next door is still trying to bust through so no clear skies just yet, but the gray is fading.
And our Second first… a sunburn! Pobrecito! Poor baby Paul T! We went to the zoo for a ST Patty’s day celebration, they had a $1 entry fee for the small one in Gainesville. I made sure to bring Paul’s hat because he is too young for sunscreen. And we were out once for 4 hours at a park a few weeks back and his head got a little pink, wouldn’t count it as a sunburn though. But it didn’t occur to me that his arms would be exposed! Daddy carried him all through the zoo and it wasn’t long before Paul T passed out. I got the hat to cover his whole face head and neck, but his little fat arms were just dangling right out. That night I noticed they had turned pink. It isn’t too bad and it really doesn’t seem to bother him at all. Andrew never got a sunburn as a baby and in fact out of the 4 of us was the only one to not get any burn yesterday! I didn’t even sunscreen him much. Not that it would have mattered, I put a lot on myself and still got burned. When Andrew was a baby though we didn’t go to outdoor events much, no need. Now that we have Andrew who enjoys parks and the zoo and such, poor baby Paul T gets dragged along. He does enjoy it and if he is tired can sleep, but I think he prefers to stay home and work on crawling.
Which btw, is almost down. He gets around here somehow. I haven’t quite locked down how he is doing it but it isn’t quite crawling I can tell that for sure. He gets up on hands and knees and rocks, pushes up onto his feet and then falls down. He rolls and scootches. Not really a full scoot, like an army crawl like Andrew did for so long, but a scootch. You’d know what I mean if you saw him. He gets all over the place with these little movements though. And it’s funny because I’ll watch him for a long time and he won’t get far, then I’ll go do something for a second and come back and he’s on the other side of the room. And if I ask Andrew how did Paul do that, he just says “roll.” Like it’s no big deal and he barely even noticed!
The 2 of them are quite the pair. i dont’ get nearly as many pics and vids as I’d like to because Andrew is often naked. I try to get him to wear pants or shorts or underwear or something but it isn’t worth the fight unless we are going outside. I do wish I could get more pics of them together. And a video of them wrestling! That is hilarious! I’ll shoot for that this week.
Andrew and I planted some seeds in a pot outside and they are growing! One is marigolds, the flowers that we had at our last place that he liked to pick so much, and the other, sweet basil. If that grows, Andy will be thrilled! We do have a few little sprouts popping up and we check it every day. I dont’ know for sure if Andrew gets what is going on, he tried to pick one of the sprouts today, but I keep telling him and we’ll do it every year! We also, got a cute plant pot from my mom for St Patty’s day that you put herb seeds in and grow indoors so we did that too. Hope those grow!
I updated the pics in March’s folder with a few from the zoo and more from just whatever BS we do around here!
March pics
Here’s a few videos too!
This is a game Andrew and I play sometimes. This time I happen to have Paul T on my lap because he was upset and this seemed to help cheer him up big time! Phwew what a workout!
First real air hockey attempt. He wanted ZERO help to play this! It was so funny. Daddy would try to lift him up and he would say ‘DOWN, Anam dood it!’ So Daddy feeling useless whipped out the cam and videoed it instead. Good move!
And here are the feed the animals videos from the zoo. Remember this was dollar day so it was very busy and the animals just aren’t that hungry since I am sure hundreds of people had already been by feeding them. One of the food dispenser machines was completely empty even!
I know there is so much more I wanted to tell you about here but I am so tired and it is late and I forget. We’re so busy and so not! We stay home as much as possible but always seem to be running around to the store or outside to play and walk, then end up walking to the mall or Best Buy to play more. Andy has been meeting clients every week and is comfortably busy right now, and we are enjoying it while it lasts. Tomorrow he has a meeting at the mall, so we are all going, the boys and I will walk over there to meet up with him. Andrew can’t get enough of playing trains at the mall!
Grandpa Lee comes in about a week to visit for a while and I am so excited! I am telling Andrew all the time about it so he’ll be ready for a new visitor. Though they have met before Andrew was only 8 months old. He gets it too, today he made one of his phone calls and when I asked who it was, he said Grandpa Lee!
