From the Land of The Sniffles, I present you with one teething baby, 458 gallons of drool, a teething fever, surprise sneezes for those even half-heartedly interested, a continuously growing email inbox that I can’t maintain, and one perpetually self-depleting toy box. (Side note: Why is it that I find myself refilling the toy box one hundred times a day? Can’t someone invent a Roomba in which its sole purpose is returning the toys back to their proper location? Can’t I hire a ‘Toy Picker Upper?’ or is that just another pseudonym for ‘MOM?’)
Amidst our sniffles, sneezes and snoozes this week, little guy has had quite the week-He has learned to crawl, pull up, & praise himself all in an eight-day span!!
Please pardon the high-pitched, annoying parental praises.
He’s still working on the pulling up, but he’s got the gist! This was his second time ever!
Yeah, Pierson!
I’m still waiting for my pair of Dorothy’s red slippers, Mary Poppin’s mystical upholstered bag, or some of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s magical powder to fix our sniffles & clean the house’s insane amount of scattered toys. But for now, I’ll happily settle for these major milestones as they bring warmth to my lil’ heart & a smile on my face (while I simultaneously blow my nose with a tissue).
Anxiously anticipating a sneeze-free day in my future,
Maren
P.S. Totally unrelated: I just updated my 365 project. (You can click the link itself or the button to the right if you’re interested in taking a peek.)
