Mother's Day

I cannot believe that I have been a mom for eight months.

Meaning, this monster is EIGHT MONTHS OLD.

She currently enjoys putting things in her mouth, crawling (WHAT) around the house looking for more things to put in her mouth, pulling up to a stand ( DOUBLE WHAT), and cruising around looking for tasty furniture to put in her mouth (OMFG WHAAAAAAT).

She has two teeth, in case you couldn't tell. TWO. TEETH. In her actual mouth. WHAT?

 

We had the most lovely Mother's Day, which included Joel surprising me with a 50mm/1.4 camera lens that I've been lusting after for three years (proving it pays to leave things in your Amazon Wishlist forever and ever) (also doesn't hurt to marry a pretty fantastic guy).

I also got to sleep in until 9am and awoke to the dulcet tones of ABSOLUTE SILENCE, as my baby was already taking her first nap of the day. Meaning I got to eat breakfast -- which Joel made for me -- in peace without trying to catch a tottering godzilla baby before she whacks her head on the TV stand. Again.

Later we had a picnic in the park, complete with the picnic basket we used at our wedding nearly three years (TRIPLE WHAT) ago. I gave Hannah a strawberry to try, sure it would be too tart for her highness's liking. I ended up filling her little mesh feeder thing three times and I am pretty sure that bib is never going to recover from the carnage. Babies, man. After eight months, all I know for sure is that I know nothing.

Happy Mother's Day!! And are these pics taken with the new lens? B/c they are quite awesome. Love the furniture munching one. Which is probably far more amusing to me than to you. Or the furniture. haha!

Oh, my gosh, I LOVE the picture of her gnawing the table! Very nutritious!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy (belated) Mother's Day! Your baby is adorable. And that look as she gnaws on the table? Trouble. Adorable trouble.

Sounds like a lovely Mother's Day! Great photos! I just discovered the first hint of a tooth trying to poke its way through Alexander's gums. I'm currently in a firm state of denial that my baby is old enough to be growing teeth. TEETH. Like he's a REAL PERSON or something. No. Not possible.
