The blob and me

Yes the blob is become more like a human baby all the time. He's going to be 4 months old next week. The blob nickname no longer fits him as he's kicking and moving his arms all over. Like he's wrestling with the air. It's quite comical. This past few weeks he's head butted my nose, hit me with plastic toy keys, and pulled the hair. I think he's winning. What the heck I'll let him. 

The blob is becoming mobile

Like if my life isn't interesting enough.  I had 2 candle events that resulted in no sales and contacts, but 15 people purchasing a rainbow loom bracelets ($1 a bracelet) for The Prayer Child Foundation.  The blob is now mobile.  Yes, the 3.5 month old has rolled over.  Not once, not twice, but 3 times.  Plus he peed on the couch.  One would think that I would learn.  Nope, not at me, I'm blonde and have no kids of my own.  Only a lot of babysitting experience, and no I do not sit on them.  This little baby would cry every time anyone put him on his stomach for tummy time.  Then all of a sudden the past few days it's all smiles then today he rolls over.  First time it happened he had the look of surprise and oh Mylanta what did I just do.   The second time he was like oh Mylanta the more I do this the more these big people are gonna want to see it and they are going to want me to do more things like walk.

Stroller 1 Me 0

If you don't have kids, it seems like all there stuff is out to get you.  Last week I wanted to go to my house since my niece was over and with my parents.  I thought I'd take the stroller for the 3 month old I am watching so we could go to the park.  Yea well imagine a short blonder trying to put a bulky stroller in the trunk of my car. It did not fit too well.  I then tried to get it in my backseat. Did not work. So the stroller won and didn't make it.  Next car may need to be a minivan if I'm still watching the little pooping dude. 

Yep that's me with the car seat and candles

Yep not only am I carting around candles but a baby too. The car seat has been a permenment fixture in the car with the baby mirror facing his feet. Well I need to know what his feet were doing. That's the most important part right. That's right I'm the clueless blonde watching this 3 month old. 

I keep saying I'm getting him a onesy that has been blunted out saying gold canyon candles. 

Late nights, Early mornings

I have been staying up way to late.  Earliest has been 11 pm.  Not good since I am up at 5 am to be at my friends house at 6 am to watch her son.  He is a cutie and all he does is sleep, eat, poop and giggle.  Oh, not to mention throwing up on me and then peeing on the bed.  Yep,  I completely forgot what happens when you change a baby boys diaper and don't cover him up right away.  How could the motherless 42 year old remember that one?

I also think he sneaks out and gets Taco Bell.  I think at 9 weeks he starts up his stroller and gets some Taco Bell to go with his night out of taking shots of formula.  Some of those diapers could make a whales eyes water with the smell.  Who knew that a baby that small could smell that bad that the whole city of Chicago can smell it.

He is a cutie and I wouldn't change anything.

Survival of Drivers Ed student

Yep.  I have survived the teenager drivers ed student.  My cousins son has started driving lessons.  He was so nervous that he wanted to borrow my football equipment I was wearing to protect myself in the passenger seat.  I could not beat to share so I let him use my tennis equipment.  Which consisted of a tennis racket and a pack of tennis balls.

Other then giving driving lessons I have been busy going to candle events and watching my friends baby.  He wants driving lessons too.  But I told him that using stilts wasn't an option for driving so i gave him a stack of encyclopedias.

Billy Bob's return

Billy Bob has made a return. He has returned from his trip to the Grand Canyon and Disney World.  Not sure if he paid for a ticket or not.
