adventures

So I'm in church with the little one tonight, just holding him and trying to make him as comfy as possible (he had shots today =[ ), and he lets out a noisy "eruption," shall I say. So I quickly go back to the nursery to change him... and lo and behold... he was wearing the last diaper we had with us (and it looked like it was covered in nutella, to put it nicely). After nearly bursting into tears, I realized I had both a spare outfit and a nursing cover in the diaper bag. I fold the outfit up into thirds, slide that under him, and fold my nursing cover around him. Half of me felt kind of proud of myself for thinking fast like that (even though it started soaking through pretty quickly anyway) and the other half just wanted to go crawl in bed, throw the covers over my head and bawl. Ever had one of those days?

But in the end, it worked out okay. Even though my husband had to wait until the end of the service to go pick up diapers real quick, I got to hold my son and watch him sleep (even if my lap ended up a bit damp!). Every day I am amazed at how quickly he's learning and growing! The doctor said he's 14 lb s, 12 oz, and 25 in. long!

A third of a year

I can't believe little colonel spitz is almost 4 months old! Every day I see more of his personality (and more drool!). Here's the latest on the colonel- he is very "talkative," making squeal-y noises and little 'ah-goo"s often. He has discovered his feet, and often grabs at them in his spare time. When he's on the floor on his play mat on his back, he rolls over onto his stomach (generally without fail) and immediately fusses (for some reason he's never liked being on his stomach). Whenever the t.v. is on, he watches, which makes me feel bad for watching t.v. I don't want my son to become a television-obsessed couch potato by the time he's 2! Of course, I don't mind it so much if it's the G.K. Chesterton show or any of the numerous baseball games/horse races/underwater basket weavings my husband likes to watch. Baby thought of the day: My son seems to prefer cold formula. I wonder if that's weird/unheard of.
