Riding in the Shopping Cart

We had another milestone this week. Now this one isn’t in the baby books and I’m pretty sure my pediatrician doesn’t care about it a whit, but it was a big moment for me and most importantly for the bun! He sat in the shopping cart at target all by himself. I had to strap him in and I think I’m going to cave and buy one of those shopping cart pads but it was so bizarre to be pushing this baby around who was sitting dangling his legs through the little plastic cutouts.
Its so strange to stare at this baby who is now sitting, babbling and acting like…you know… a real baby and say- “Wow he is mine!” Some days, some moments, I feel like I’m watching someone else’s life. Its like an out of body experience….a great one!

Ride on Bun! Pretty soon, its going to be trikes, and bikes and cars!

Pillow Mountain = Fail

Gymboree lied to me. Not Gymboree maybe but a Gymboree book. It was a book of baby games that I brought from the library. It lists age appropriate games for babies and it highly highly highly recommends a pillow mountain for babies who are just starting to scoot or do the little butt wiggle to crawl. The baby in the gymboree was just laughing and laughing trying to climb his pillow mountain while his mom looked on fondly! This is what my baby did

Summer Family Date

A few Friday’s ago J, Bun and I headed out to one of our favorite summer activities in Durham. During the summer The American Tobacco Campus has live free music from 6-8.  This lovely grassy area is surrounded by bars and restaurants and families bring picnics or get takeout from the nearby restaurants.  Its also a great time to hang out at Tyler’s beer garden and sample delicious beers.  Usually, this is a group outing for us, with friends or my parents but this friday, it was just the three of us drinking beer {formula for some.. ahem} and sampling the new flavors of loco pops when we just decided to take some pics. These are some of my favorite

King of his Chair

We were in dire need of a high chair. He had outgrown his bebe pod and was dragging it across the table. Also we were running low on baby containment devices in our living room. Enter clearance high chair from target. This was bigger and bulkier than what I wanted but Ikea was out of the one I wanted and if I couldn’t go sleek and modern, I was going big!

He loves sitting up high and looking around the living room.

Panic!

Bun turned 6 mos on Jun 14th and i nearly lost it, the last 6 months seemed to have flown by. We went in for our 6 month check up bright and early in the morning and while bun snoozed in his car seat in the waiting room, I struggled to deal with how he would never be the wrinkly, angry little new born again.

I made myself feel better by deciding that I’m going to try to do one of those one a day photo projects, only I need to make the bun my subject. I don’t really know if I’m going to stick to only him but I’ve been very good about getting a picture a day.  Sometimes they are really low res camera phone pics, but who cares, the cuteness spills out everywhere anyway. Is this overly self indulgent? yes? But its my blog….so I can post all the cute baby pics I want.
