Mondays and mealtimes

I've been neglecting my 52 weeks of Christopher on my blog. I have the pictures but between photo shoots and editing client proofs, the last thing I want to do is edit my own. I have them, I just haven't posted them....one day I'll catch up. Besides, several of the past posts contain that weeks photo, I just haven't had the time for a separate post.

So, here is Christopher on Easter. We had a great day and he is really starting to walk. It makes me more sad than happy.....I just wish I could rewind this year and do it all again. Yes, all of it.

I LOVE Mondays. Jonathan typically works from home on Monday and it just makes Sunday night a relaxing time instead of me dreading stay at home mom land. Now, if you read the above comments..... I still love everything about my time with C but its nice to have something to break up my week. Even though he works, the house isn't as quiet, it makes the day go by faster for me and the week doesn't seem as long. This Monday I didn't see much of Jonathan though. Christopher and I ran errands in the morning and I took him to the Pedi in the afternoon. He has been battling something for almost 2 weeks and I decided I would sleep better just having him looked at.

Glad I did. Double ear infections. Yuck! Sometimes, like when hes sick, I wish he wasn't so easy going. I would have NEVER known about his ears if his crazy nose wasn't running non-stop. Anyway, we got him some meds. Hope he is feeling better soon, his BIG day is just a couple of weeks away. (cant talk about that now, sigh)

Back to Monday. So Christopher will try anything once....food is no exception. Although, you have to feed him. If he touches it and it becomes mushy or isn't want he expected, forget about it. He LOVES black beans and would eat them all day but if you put them on his tray, he mashes them and gives you this look until you move them off. Yesterday, for whatever reason, was a MESSY day. Jonathan commented that this was the worst case of food displacement since his first meal. So, what do I do? Whip out the camera....here's how the meal went in pictures:

First off, we are by no means sippy cup experts. In fact, to get him to hold it and chew on it is a major accomplishment. Were working on that though. As you might notice, lunch has begun.

Yep, this isn't even self fed. Nice!

This is how the peas get in my hair.....its our new styling gel.

Daddy was making me laugh...

and I just got tickled.

The reaction to learning that 1/2 a piece of corn had made it into his nose.

Working the "gel" in to get that special look.

Nice hair. This is the reaction to the first corn retrieval......it was a failure.

But we got it the 2nd time.

We still aren't sure who won the battle.

And finally, washing it all down ? Nah, had to show off his mad one handed sippy cup skills. Who says you need to actually drink it?

Tomorrow I have a great post from a pretty fun playdate today. Lets just say, little mister sat in the sand, dumped the bubbles on his shirt, ate some chalk and got hosed! It was a great day!
