No Sleep

I have NO idea what the deal is, but bumps will not sleep anymore. We put him down at the usual time and he is visably tired, but he will not sleep. It is 10:30 right now and he has been in there crying for over an hour. M says there is no getting him tonight because that is why he keeps crying. I am so aggravated because I want to know what is going on. Neither M or I can sleep because he is in there crying, but if we get him, all he wants to do is play and we are not playing that game. So now M is telling me to go into the back room with him so bumps thinks that we are asleep also. Hopefully it will work. . .

Christmas Morning. . .

PUKE!!!!!!!!! GROSS-O!!!!!!!! I freaking cursed myself. I was laying in bed the other night thinking about how lucky I have been that bumps hasn't been all that sick yet. Yeah, well tonight he was crying in his crib and I knew that something was wrong. When I went in to get him, he had puked all over his crib and the floor. M took bumps and I cleaned up the crib and put the sheets in the wash. I came up after putting them in the dryer and bumps was crying in M's lap. Right when I asked what was wrong he just started puking again. All over the couch and the carpet. So now he is in the bath with M and I am again cleaning up puke. Looks like it is going to be a long night. . .

Bubbles!!!!!!

Bumps discovered something new tonight. . .bubbles! We were over at our neighbor M and M's tonight (hahaha, that sounds so funny) and bumps discovered their daughter, A's, bubble thing. The cool thing about it is that it is spill proof, which is great for him. He fell in love with it. He kept putting the wand in and out of it. A would blow bubbles at him and he would laugh and chase them. M would hold it up for him to blow a bubble and he would try really hard and then just put it in his mouth instead. It was pretty funny. Now we have to search for the spill proof bubble container that she had!

I Like to Move It, Move It

Bumps has a new favorite song. It is "I like to move it, move it" off of the Madagascar dvd that we just bought. We put on the video for him and he completely busts a move to it. It takes him a minute to warm up, but once he gets going, he gets going. When the song is over, he points and makes all kinds of noises so we turn it back on for him. His new favorite move is shaking his head really fast and stomping his feet at the same time. He takes after his daddies side when it comes to dancing. . .

The Abominable Snow Bumps

Here is a pic of bumps in his new duds. He looks like a giant marshmallow in it. M likes to joke that he is like the kid off of A Christmas Story that is all bundled up and can't move any part of his body. The sad part is that it is so true. The poor kid can't even turn his head in the dang thing. But he looks cute and that is all that matters!

Shopping for Bumps

Today was our big Christmas shopping day for Bumps and we finished it!!! Wa-hoo. Everything we bought was bumps tested and bumps approved. We took him to Toys R Us and let him run around and play with things. He had a ball. He fell in love with the Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Chair. We couldn't tear him away from it. So of course Santa is bringing it to him this year. And he is getting a push mower that blows bubbles and a slide. We didn't buy him the big slide like we originally intented too. Instead we just did a small one. That way it doesn't take up to much room in our house. I am so excited to see what happens on Christmas morning!!!

Mmmm. . .Cookie Batter

I'm Getting Nothin' for Christmas

We had the squadron Christmas party yesterday and low and behold M and I pull a "parents of the year." We completely didn't remember that we were supposed to bring a wrapped book for Santa to give to bumps when he arrived to visit the kids. So Santa arrives and we immediatly steer bumps to another area of the room so he doesn't realize our mistake. Then again, he is 16 months old for Christ's sake. What 16 month old really cares about Santa??? Evidently not ours because he never knew the difference. But by God he knew when the cheese and strawberries ran out!!!

Hey Baby T. . .

I am in this big ol' bathtub all by my lonesome missing you, my future wife. . .

Shoes and Spiders

There was a lovely little spider crawling up our wall tonight that I promptly told M to kill. He grabbed one of Bumps shoes and smashed the spider (thank God!). Bumps watched the whole time as it was happening.

As soon as his shoe hit the floor afterwards, Bumps promptly grabbed it, took it over the the wall and started "smashing" the invisible spider on the wall. It was too funny and he was so proud of himself. At least I know that I have someone to protect when daddy is gone!

First Haircut!!!

I am officially depressed! Bumps curls are all gone!!! We finally gave in and cut his hair. I am not happy with his bangs because the gal cut them way to short, but that's ok, they will grow. He was such a big boy the whole time. He didn't cry at all and actually enjoyed it. Probably the attention that he got!!! Go figure! He even received a Babies First Haircut certificate for his baby book. Man, my little bumps is growing up way to fast!!!

Back From Vacation!

We just got home from our first family vacation in awhile and it was so much! We went to Seattle for a few days and had a really good time! We finally ate at the Melting Pot, a place I was dying to eat at! It was really worth the wait! I love fondue, it is so much fun! Bumps was a pain in the hiney the whole time, but that's ok we made it through! Our room had a nice jacuzzi tub in it, but it was actually in the room, so no mommy/daddy time in the tub, it was all family time. What can you do? We needed the break, but it is so nice to be home!!!
