6 months…it’s only been 6 months…

by

Tony had his 6 moth birthday Saturday…I guess. At some point you stop counting age by wee and go with months. If we were going by weeks…he’d be at 26 weeks and a day…which is more like 6 and a half months if you count 4 weeks in a month…but I digress.

Here are some things I’ve noticed about a 6 month old Binja…

  • The darker the food he is attempting to eat, the more that will miss the bib.
  • If it’s really dark food, you’ll not be able to find a bib to begin with.
  • He loves people with long hair. The more hair you have…and the more tender your scalp…the more he hair he will be able to grab and pull.
  • Those of us who are follicley challenged usefully get a finger up the nose.
  • Once you start feeding a baby anything other than formula…his poop…changes…
  • You will be amazed at the faces and sounds grown folks will make at a baby.
  • You will also be amazed that said baby finds them hilarious.
  • You have panic moments about who is supposed to pick up the baby on the days you aren’t the one…and they happen about 10 minutes after the day care closes.
  • You wonder if other parents judge you as your child screams bloody murder in public.
  • You stop caring about other parents
  • You begin to believe in gremlins, fairies, talking donkeys, sneetches, and all those other things you read to your child about.
  • Installing a car seat in the back of a Suzuki …in the parking lot of Target…in the heat of the day…will make you consider a home vasectomy.
  • And lastly…no matter how much you need sleep, and no matter how much it pisses you off to be awake, when that little boy smiles at you from his crib at 3 am…you melt.

I love that Binja…
