my child is starting to interact like a real human being.

I'm starting to feel less like I'm talking to a baby all day and more like I'm talking to a tiny adult. Our conversations go a little something like this:
Me: C, are you pooping?
C: grunt. gruuuunt. grunt. redface.
Me: Yep I thought so.
----------------------------
Me: Where's C??
C: (sneaks behind wall and waits about .5 seconds and pops back out)
Me: THEREHEIS!!!
And repeat 10x
----------------------------
Me: What's a doggie say?
C: ughh ughh
Me: Yeah! Woof Woof!

So you see, things are really progressing around these parts. C still doesn't say much besides "da da" but he understands A LOT more and that makes me feel a little more sane.
In other snot related news, there's a lot of snot in this house. It's gross and it's never ending. C had an ear infection last week and went on antibiotics. In addition to the infection, he had a geyser of snot erupting out his nose every 1 minute. Enter: The Nose Frida. I had been using the nose sucking bulb thing that you insert halfway up to the child's brain while LITERALLY pinning him on the floor as he thrashed about. Well, I still have to pin him down and he thrashes BUT I feel slightly better about not almost touching his brain with a piece of plastic. If you don't know the nose frida, get to know it here and don't be all weird and grossed out. The snot doesn't even come close to you.
I'm ready for the snot to stop, our schedule to get to "normal" and for C to have ALL of his teeth so he'll stop randomly lunging at my leg, arm, hand, fingers, shoulder, feet to try to bite them. Seriously, teething is the WORST. It's almost bad enough for me to never want to go through it again with another child. ALMOST.
I hope your day involves a lot less snot than mine.
