If you've been following me for awhile (like the 8 months that we've had our nugget) you know that the first like....6 months were AW.FUL. I don't really like to go back to those days because I start shaking and sweating and crying. That could also be the overabundance of caffiene in my bloodstream but whatev. Anyway, all these moms kept leaving BS comments telling me "it gets better" and every time I heard that I wanted to punch the mom who said it, but I guess that's not really "socially acceptable" or a very productive way to make mom friends. Well lady friends, I'm here to tell you, do NOT punch these women who are telling you this. They know their shiz. It DOES get better. Like, C is actually fun to play with now. He laughs and smiles and bounces and crawls and SLEEPS for long periods of time.
We still have some rough patches. He still STILL hates the car. He'll probs never drive and just take public transit when he gets older since apparently our car is so awful to be in. He's super high-activity so sitting in one place for longer than about 5 seconds is a no-go. Eating at a restaurant is super not fun but that's good because we can't afford it anyway. He loves Target about as much as his mom so that works out well for us.
We just started him on his first round of antiobiotics :( I guess it was bound to happen since he stopped drinking from the tap like years ago. He's teething (the top 2 big boys), has a cold and is MOST LIKELY allergic to Milo (I'm totally just making this up so we can get rid of the cat, but it seems like a very likely scenario). He handles all these obstacles like a champ.
In other non-baby related news, I'm going to start subbing a couple days a week. Do I want to? Actually yes. A little bit. C is going through like super attachment to me and while I love that he's obsessed with me, I think it's probably in both our interests to spend some time apart. You know, let things cool off a bit. Whenever B is home in the evenings and he's playing with C, C is all like "uhh where's my mom WHERE'S MY MOM???" panic mode. And I'm like "C, I'm right here. Making food for your giant gut, settle it down" Also, I just realized this is completely back to the subject of C after I just said it was "other non-baby related news" Isn't everything about the baby though??
Ok that's all. I need to go pinterest the rest of this naptime away.

That obsessive attachment is actually a healthy thing. A study said that
the high divorce rate is due, in part, to children not making that strong attaching, one on one, in the early years. He will get independent - don't worry! LOL So glad you are enjoying him like you are. Carry on!
C sounds so much like Reed...except that Reed is on like his 10th round of antibiotics. Maybe when they meet they'll be besties for life ;)
