This week promises to be incredibly hectic at work, mostly because my manager is gone and I’m filling in for her as well as attending a Proposal prep class for an upcoming proposal (I’m SO psyched about this; my heart truly lies in proposal work.. I’m a sadist that way). I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to post and NaBloPoMo will be a complete disaster. I’ve done SO WELL thus far.
Anyway, time to fall back on a list.
WAYS MY CHILD IS GROWING UP TOO FAST, by Sarah Brown:
- He woke up from a nap on Sunday and decided that, you know, now is a good time to start REALLY crawling. Not alligator scooting, but up-on-the-knees crawling.
- He is weaning himself from the bottle. We didn’t see this coming, but all of a sudden, he’s decided to only take a bottle in the morning, one at noonish, and one before bed. That’s it. He would just rather have REAL food, thank you very much.
- He has figured out that objects can be placed into one another. His new favorite toy? An empty Mt. Dew box, which can hold a myriad of objects.
- If you ask for “cuddles”, he’ll snuggle in under your chin. That’s not a bad thing, but it makes me think that it’s a phase that will end eventually.
- His new favorite game is to crawl away from you. Great when you’re playing, sucky when you’re not. Pretty much cute every time, regardless.
- He is wearing some 2T clothes. Comfortably.
Don’t get me wrong; he’s still an incredibly fun and amazing baby. Last night, while I cleaned out his drawers and his daddy put a mural on the wall, he sat in his crib, giggling and laughing and roaring as we worked. He’s just so amazing that I don’t ever want him to grow up.
Of course, I also can’t wait to see the amazing little person he becomes.
You truly are a sadist if you like proposal work. Proposal time is hell around here.

Oh, the time slips by so quickly! I can’t believe how true this is.
Good luck nailing down all breakables in the house!

2T? WOW! We are having such a hard time with cothes for Jillian. She is too long for 6-9 month pants and they 9-12 fall off her waist!

It is all so bittersweet… You don’t want them to grow up but you can’t wait for them to reach the next milestone. (That, by the way, is why people end up with more children)
