Seven Quick Takes—In Pictures

1) A couple weeks ago, I turned a year older. I celebrated by making us dinner (it was safer than letting John cook and ending up with “Campbell Surprise.” Trust me.) and drinking a bottle of wine that John gave me last year for my birthday. From the winery where he proposed. While I was pregnant and unable to drink. This year he gave me something that I could actually use without having to wait nine months: a hip 50s style apron from Etsy. Which I forgot to wear while cooking us dinner. Oops.

2) Jack’s new favorite thing? Standing. He loves to hang out in his pack n play and hang onto the railing and stand. He stands for about 5 minutes at a time. STOP GROWING UP SO FAST!!!!

3) We finally put bumpers on the crib now that Jack has hit the 6 month “SIDS safe(r)” time. Granted, I only use the breatheable bumpers but still…this is a big step for me seeing as how I’m super paranoid and “that mom”. You can see them in this picture. You can also see that I was out of town on business last week and Jack was NOT happy about it.

4) Jack is teething. Again. For those of you who have lost count, that’s 3 on the bottom and 4 on the top. With more coming. His two top teeth are already super far apart. He has inherited his awful teeth from me. Sorry baby boy.

5) Is it strange that I enjoy putting my son in clothes that reflect an attitude of 80 years his senior?

6) This little mesh popsicle thingy mabob stuffed with frozen peaches (organic, of course, because I am an overprotective helicopter mother) has been a teething lifesaver.

7) Yes, this picture is like 3 years old. But I just wanted this girl’s mama to know that I love her so much it hurts.

Have an amazing weekend!!!
