mama's day out

I would have blogged yesterday but somebunky would not leave my hip/lap all day. I think we are cutting a top tooth and it has put us {and I mean us} in foul mood .

Reese went to school for a little while today. I need to clean and get organized because we are headed to the BeAcH on Thursday. Okay, really we are just going to my parent's house, but it's like going to the beach. And it's free.

Sunday, we spent some time outside in the turtle pool. I actually think we are going to take it with us to the beach in case little man doesn't like sand. I didn't time my "sunning" well, so we didn't stay outside long. Lofton and I also got eaten alive by the bugs. I'm surprised they didn't eat Bunky as well, but he only has one little bite on his toe. We are literally covered.

As you can see, my baby is a stud in his swimsuit and matching hat.

My goal for this week has been to make progress in napping {him not me}. I'm doing a so-so job. Lofton and I put him down for all his naps this weekend and he pretty much screamed every time. I can say that the duration of time he screams is lessening. Is that progress? Poor little guy. Twice I have gone in to check on him {after the screaming subsides} and found him asleep, sitting up but hunched over with his head between his feet. I just gently lay him down. Pitiful.

And in big news.... he crawled a little last night. Lofton was playing with him on the floor and Reese was trying to escape. He crawled about twice {does that make sense? imagine twice being hand knee, hand knee, hand knee, hand knee} before he feel back down to do the army crawl. We tried and TRIED to get him to do it again, but when Lofton picked him up to reposition him he whacked Reese's face. It was all down hill from there! I have hope though that he'll crawl by the weekend. Lofton agreed. He said if Reese is anything like me he's probably saving the big moment for his Nonna. Ha, ha Lofton!

Off to pack. Maybe I won't forget formula this time!
