This is a new outfit that the Wee One got for his very belated birthday party we had for him yesterday. He scored 14 more outfits that are equally adorable.
So yesterday afternoon we had a small, little tiny birthday celebration for the Wee One's first birthday. Yes, his birthday was like 4 months ago but who cares? I wanted pictures for the baby book! I also wanted to have an excuse to eat cake. Not like I need one but that's another journal...
We went over to the SIL's house and Gramma joined us. We had much good food and merriment. Fun was had by all. My baby isn't a baby anymore! I drug it out for 4 months but.... babies don't keep do they. They grow up and hopefully won't become camera shy like the Kidlet seems to have grown... He won't let me take his picture!
The Wee One has been bottle free for nearly 2 weeks. It seems as though the babies I know his age have been off for a very long time but I just.... didn't cut him off. His ped said he should be down to 1 bottle a day at 12 mo. Ha! Oh well. He's off now. Figures 2 days later he had a high fever and cut a molar. I wanted to comfort him with the bottle but I knew it would only be cruel to take it away from him, give it back and take it away again. So I stuck to my guns and we both got over the rough patch of about 4-5 days of all afternoon crying.
When he was still drinking a bottle, he'd go down for his nap (he falls asleep in his infant carrier and will not sleep in his crib if it is daylight) with a bottle. Now that he doesn't have one and he's over crying for it, he comes to me and climbs up into my lap and lays his head on me and is out within 5 minutes when he's finally tired. Usually around 3 p.m. I absolutely love this. He is always on the go and for him to just let me hold him and him sleep in my arms like he did when he was a baby is so much fun for me.
He usually goes down at 9:30 on the dot but yesterday since we were at the in-laws he didn't get to bed til midnight. On top of that he missed his nap (he takes 1 a day now) and he was still in such a good mood! I could not believe it.
The Kidlet is possibly going to go on a cruise with his Aunt and Uncle. Can you say jealous?? They already have their tickets but at the last minute decided they wanted to take him so they are trying to find out if he can go. I keep telling him he probably can't but how do you undo him getting his hopes up? You can't. I really hope he can go. I'm envious but I hope he can go!
Ok time to make dinner. The little mook keeps calling me from the fridge. As if the fridge doesn't call to me enough..... hehe.
