Wonderful Wednesday

No rhyming titles. We'll try alliteration instead (that's for you Lindsey!).

J and I had quite a day. Our living room (AKA Baby War Room, Romper Room, The Play, Jump, Roll, and Drool Room) was filled with every imaginable toy that J owns. At approximately 8:30 this morning I devised a little routine for my little man. We began with the swing. He had some quality foot time while in there--the grabbing and playing with his amazing feet is new for him.

Next, we moved to his Jumperoo. I proceeded to act like a nut (jumping, dancing, making funny faces) each time his baby-activated music would play. He figured this out quickly (he's a genius!) and proceeded to activate the music as often as possible (he wanted to torture me).

Next, we moved on to the play mat. Since J began rolling over (back to belly), he gets really frustrated when he has his tummy time because he can't quite figure out how to roll from belly to back. Well, that all ended today. With the help of his Exersaucer, which was nearby, I watched as he pushed on the saucer, hoisted himself up, and did a flip-roll from belly to back. YEEEEAAAAHHHH. Two seconds later he rolled again to his belly. Two seconds after that he forgot how to roll at all and proceeded to cry. I eventually put him on a blanket and we played with this hangy toy thing (I have no idea what it is called . . . ). Notice he isn't wearing any clothes in this pic . . . by then, the amount of drool had already cost us two outfits (not including pajamas) at least three bibs, and a vast number of cloth diapers/burp cloths. I had given up . . . the drool was just too much.

We continued with the Exersaucer. He's still trying to figure this thing out. Right now he picks up his legs and sways back and forth. He likes the rocking motion. Just today he figured out that the seat swivels around. He had fun with that! We played with his doggy and looked at some picture books while he was in there. Actually, I played with the doggy and looked at the picture books. J looked at me and drooled. He's a genius, I tell ya!

Next, I put him in his Rainforest Bouncer and we ate some rice cereal. I should actually say that he "ate" it and I ended up with most of it on me. I was the one in need of a bib. *This isn't a picture from today, but this is his bouncer and it was just so darned cute I had to put it in.

Finally, we moved to the Nature's Touch Papasan Cradle Swing. He snuggled in and within moments he was sleeping. Rinse. Repeat.


What a day . . . and by this time it was only 8:45 am (just kidding . . . more like 11 am).

Just a glimpse into my glamorous life . . . Oh, and please note that I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and got out of my PJs just long enough to get into some fresh ones. Yup, that kind of day!
