So it’s time for another trip to the Pediatrician. Mac’s coming up on his 18-month well baby check. We have another questionnaire to complete. It arrived in the mail yesterday. I gave it a once-over this morning. It’s about six pages long and contains a bunch of questions regarding different developmental skills the kid should presumably possess by this point.

The past two weeks Mac has taken a bunch of major steps on the road to toddler-hood. He’s sitting up all by himself. He’s really into play time. He’s nearly ready to crawl. He feeds himself much more competently. He feeds the dog much more competently. Mass quantities of slimy avocado last evening at dinner. . .which was beyond disgusting

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. It’s just that I’ve been so busy! Apparently the holidays are kinda a big deal when you have a little one. I’ve been sewing and painting and decorating.

Chris and I have been together a long time. But this was our first anniversary with Mac. So somehow I thought this one should be extra magical. It didn’t disappoint. . . Crack of Dawn: Awake to grumpy wet Huggy Bear. Keep him awake because mother in law is coming to watch him while I run errands. Slightly less crack

This kid has everyone fooled. He’s Jekyll and Hyde. I swear. People stare at me in disbelief when I tell them he’s going through a rough stage. ”Oh he looks like the Gerber Baby.” ”He’s sooooo happy.” ”He has the nicest disposition.” Yeah. . .That’s why my Husband and I were tempted to pound Scotch at a children’s birthday party
