I made it! Two weeks of two staff members out and I made it. Now, I just have one more full week and I’m home free. Eli’s been sleeping a lot better this week, but I still am so exhausted. Mommy needs a nap. What did we do this week? Well, we made it to a wet and rainy Oktoberfest and had a very tasty pretzel-wrapped beer brat from 312 Pizza Co and, as always, the beer cheese soup from Mad Platter was yum-my. Other than that it’s been constant errands. Oh! We did decorate our house for Halloween. I didn’t buy anything new this year, so it’s pretty much the same as usual.
What we Bought: This splat mat-trying to save our carpet!
Most Awkward Moment: So many. I successfully washed and dried a diaper…without noticing. Hey, at least it was not a #2 deal. Or maybe it was Eli drumming and scratching on my chest all through Kroger. I guess the baby sign language hasn’t quite stuck yet. Or it could be our daycare infant teacher who is likes cosplay who said she’d dress her kid up just like Eli if she had one. Oh! Or Eli being fully strapped in to the Target shopping cart, and yet somehow managing to turn around AND stand up.
Best Moment: Confirmation that Eli is saying momma!
Useless purchases: I think when Eli was born I thought these Arm & Hammer bags were one of the best things ever. You’d think they’d become even more important now that he’s eating solids, but here’s reality.
Anyways, the Ubi does such a good job, it’s really not needed.
Best purchase: This faucet cover. Eli is so rambunctious. He uses it to teethe on and to pull himself up on. But really, he’s hit his head on it a few times and no pain, no marks. Plus, when he gets bigger it holds bubble bath!
Eli: Week 39- 9 Months old!
I like to crawl to mommy and pull myself up her legs before I tentatively reach my hand up, hoping she’ll pick me up. She pretty much always does. I smile when mom and dad tell me “no”, but it doesn’t stop me from trying to get all those wires. They’re so intriguing! I also like to bang on the computer just like mommy. I am convinced Optimus’ toys are better than mine. I went to my first Oktoberfest, and although it rained, I loved seeing all the people. I eat 4 jars of food a day (14 oz), plus 2 tablespoons of rice and about 33 oz of milk. I am growing so fast! I am officially out of my 9 month clothes. I give THE best hugs. I like to yell lovingly “momma”, so now dad is trying to teach me a new word (“dadda”). I love to strum my lips and blow loooooong raspberries. I’m starting to suck my thumb again. I am very coordinated with my feet. If I drop something I can use my feet to pull it up to my hands.
That’s it for me. Have a great week!
