Get Your Crumpet Out Of Your Pocket

August 18, 2010 at 8:08 pm — Petra

There are some things you would never in a million years imagine yourself saying, like, ‘Get your crumpet out of your pocket.’

Of course, I meant the pocket on one of these and I was talking to Ronan, not his daddy!

The monkey's bib.I just want to say how much I actually love these bibs, too.  Bibs are one of those things that you just never really put much thought into when you’re stocking up preemptively until you actually need to use them. Bibs for drooling, bibs for eating…I think there are a lot of bib makers making a lot of money off of oblivious new mothers and thoughtful gift givers because I have a lot of bibs that are useless for containing the dribble and drool of the wee monkey, and wouldn’t stand a chance against the mess he’s capable of making with food in front of him.

While not all purpose, this is now my favorite go to bib for anything involving food. I’m considering investing in another one or two…or more…

So yeah, like I said, “Get your crumpet out of your pocket.”

6 Months Today

August 14, 2010 at 9:47 pm — Petra

My baby boy was six months today and six months ago I couldn’t even imagine being where we are now or how much he would have grown and changed in such a short time.

Of course, he’s kept me on my toes from day one and just when I think I have him figured out he turns it all upside down on me. Just in case I hadn’t quite got the memo yet, today he’s decided that he was going to go to bed at 3:40pm this afternoon. It’s now 6 hours later and he’s still fast asleep and I’m sitting here wondering when he will wake and if he’s going to want to be up (with me of course) for hours later on tonight.

Dan’s feeling guilty because while he often puts the monkey to bed for the night, he’s usually not around when he goes down for naps but today he put him down for his afternoon nap so now he’s wondering if he confused Ronan into thinking it was bedtime. I’m pretty sure it was just coincidental!

Today was the first day of starting him weaning properly using BLW (baby led weaning) and I had cooked up a big dinner with roast veggies and chicken expecting him to wake up many, many hours ago so we could all sit down together as a family to eat. That obviously didn’t happen, but tomorrow is a new day and as Dan told me, there’s many more days and many more meals to come that we’ll get to sit down and have together as a family.
