my little monkey

So this morning started off like any other morning... we were up throughout the night with feedings and burps and whatnot. Then around 10:30am, we both decided it was time to wake up. Waking up time always means play time. We sit/lie on the bed and play games, like sit-stand-fall back and roll over and crawl. (Though the rolling over is assisted and the crawling is more like swimming just without water and without actually going very far... but it's super fun to watch). First off, we have to get the boy into a fresh diaper... obviously. Any time he is near his changing table, he always stares at the wall. There are two things on that wall... my calendar and a painting that is covered up with pictures of Michael. We all know which one catches my attention. But what do you think the boy finds so interesting? You guessed it...

So after changing into a fresh diaper and whatnot, we proceeded with our morning ritual. This was not anything out of the ordinary. After a while, he got tired of playing so I picked him up to go out and about... and the projectile spitup... oh the spitup. I heard it come, i felt it come, but i didn't see it. All over my shoulder, down my back, and splatter on the carpet. And now we know why he got tired of playing. Oh well... (no pictures of this... sorry).

Upon entering the kitchen, Grandmommy wants to greet the boy. So off he goes, wisked away in Gmommy's arms. I managed to get a few chores done. She decided he was cold, so brought him back to the room for some more clothes. How about a pair of striped pants? They match. :) This lead to more playing. Sit-stand-fall back started all over again. But then, the fun part... He discovered his toes! Gmommy was playing with his feet. He wanted to play with his feet. He started grabbing for them. Actually got a hold of his right foot/toes and started to pull it towards his mouth. Sadly, didn't catch this on camera as it was completely unexpected. This is our new discovery for today... our feet! He seemed very interested in playing with them more. So I guess our morning play time will include something new now... eat our feet! :) What a great way to start the day!
