Baby Nails

Baby nails.

Little daggers of love attatched to your childs groping hands.

They pinch and claw their way into your hearts.

Baby nails grow insanely fast.

You have to cut them atleast once a week,

or you get ripped to shreds.

I've found that Henry really doesn't like you playing with his hands.



How hard it is to capture a baby's hand



He pulls his arm away and starts yelling.

So I've found I have to cut his nails when he's sleeping.

But usually I'm stuck under him when he's sleeping.

I have to think in advance that I'm going to cut his nails.



Got his asleep!

Now time to cut.

Before

Them suckers were long.

After

Yay all nice and trim!

Reading One! Two! Three! by Sandra Boynton

Poppa is on the phone!!!!

1:30-5:20

I have no photos from this 4 hour time span.

I don't know why.

We just played around the house, some facebook.

Maybe a nap.

*shrugs*

5:22

Henry knocked over the baby gate.

AND LOOK I CAN CLIMB IT MOMMA!

5:30-7

Dinner time.

Pork chops coated in a sweet basil and Jack Daniels sauce, Long grain rice, and Green beans.

I ate it all before I could take a picture.

7:18

Dressed for bed!

8:22

Asleep for the night.

Obviously I started slacking in the pictures the later part of the day.

But as you can tell, we have a pretty boring life.

Occasionally we'll go out.

But eah, we prefer to just hang out around the house.

Ooops

Ooops, I totally forgot to post this last week.

Actually the only thing I did to this post was upload the pictures.

Durp.

SO!

Better late than never.

Am I right?

(this is not true for things that can kill you, i.e. hiv test, diabetes, shark wrestling)

Anywhom! On with the show!

Matt was cuddling Henry and kissing his cheek and talking to him, and I look over and Henry is passed out against Matts face.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE (did I mention love) how much my baby boy loves his Poppa.

Even though his Poppa is out of town every week.

Once the weekend comes Henry is a Poppas boy.

More proof.

They take naps together all the time.

And of course, knowing me, I always take pictures.

So Henry likes to think of himself as the new Dorthea Lange.

He got a hold on the camera and took some VERY abstract photos.

The only one that came out remotely good was this one.

Zombie Matt in the back.

Flash bright enough for you Henry?

Soooo, I go and wash some dishes leaving Henry to play on the floor with all his toys.

The house gets quiet.

Veeeeery quiet.

Henry?

*peek head into living room*
Henry?

And there my little booger is asleep on the floor.

He pulled his blanket to come play with him.

Decided this looked like a good place to lay down....

Not on the 2 mattresses next to him.

Noooo, the floor.

Weird little guy.

So being almost 7 months is soooo cool.

He's pulling up on EVERYTHING.

Getting into EVERYTING.

Trying to explore EVERYTHING.

And I think he fancy's himself a mountain climber or something.

Yup, climbing the baby gate.

And he kept trying to go higher too!

I think I'm going to have an action and adventure boy on my hands.

Someone break out the bandaids and neosporin.

After a hard day of being baby its time to go to sleep and cuddle with Momma.

By far the best part of my day.

What happened to my title!?

Henrys sleeping.

I should probably be cleaning.

But instead I'm posting on my silly blog.

For some reason it wont let me move the allignment of the text to the left so center it is!

Makes it kinda look like a poem...

Kinda..

Except without the rhyme, or the vivid imagnitive speech.

Or anything that makes up a good poem.

OH WELL.



Weee CAR RIDES.

A very uncommon thing in the car is a smiling face.

Henry HATES THE CAR SEAT!

As soon as we put him in it...

OMG END OF WORLD!! DEAR GOD SOMEONE GET ME OUT OF THIS SEAT!

HHHHHEEEELLLLPPPP

If it wasn't so shitty it'd probably be funny.

So, I snapped a picture of him happy in his carseat.

Maybe one day I'll tell him that really deep deep down he enjoyed riding in the car.

Henry has been teaching me baby yoga.

I caught him like this and a few other positions while I was cooking dinner.

He would do this pose, downward facing dog, child pose and others.

He's crazy flexible and crazy mobile.

I can't just leave him on the floor anymore.

He scoots, and rolls, and crawls.

Eeeeek mobile baby!

(Makes me miss the blob baby stage! WHERES MY CUDDLE BUG!?)

So this week we did tons of yard work.

Tons o' Ton.

Raked, cut down dead little trees, planted veggies, sprayed for bugs, put down grass seed, feed and weed got put down to. (pray for rain guys I want my grass to grow)

and Henry wanted to help.

So me and Matt wrapped him on my back!

Its called the double hammock back carry (or Chunie)

Really east to wrap it this way and practically wiggle proof.

Double Hammock Carry Instructions

We loved it.

Henry sung into my ear untill he fell asleep.

I got to rake for 2 hours.

Though some down sides to this are.

a) My wrap causes pressure points because it is made out of thin cotton gauze.

b) Its Hot as HELL here in Georgia.

c) Raking with a 20(ish) pound baby back pack is a lot of work!

I got to take a 20 min break from being Momma!

(Yay shower time!)

My boys went to the store real quick.

Henry fell asleep on the way home, so his poppa scooped him up out of the car and joined him in his nap.

I love seeing them together!

Speaking of napping.

I put Henry down for a nap at the top of the mattress pile then step outside for a bit.

(its how I store our beds for the day)

Matt peeks inside to check on Henry.

"Wolfie, wheres Henry?"

He had rolled all the way to the bottem of the mattress pile then pulled the covers over his head!

He was hiding!

Still asleep so we uncovered his face, got pictures, and let him sleep.

He must have been comfortable he slept like that for 30+ min.

(don't worry I checked on him frequently to make sure he was still breathing.)

So we have this toy that sings songs when you press buttons.

But you have to be standing in order to play it.

HE LOVES IT.

I can have it just standing upright in the living room, and he'll go to pull himself up on it.

He needs a little help getting all the way up.

But jsut for ballance he has all the muscle strength.

He'll stand and play with all the buttons and slowly try to scoot himself around the little table.

He just competely skipped truly cralling and is trying to stand and walk.

Can someone tell him to slow down some?!

Thats all I've got this week.

Matts been home so I've been super busy with him.
