Day..hold on, let me count..9

Man oh man..today was mostly awesome. I'm not sure if it's because we actually had stuff to do and keep ourselves extra busy with today..or because I promised Calix that if he were extra extra well behaved..especially out in public, I would buy him a basketball hoop set thingy. I'm not sure he even knows what that is..but he acted like he was totally into it. He. Was. Awesome.

At the hospital (dude, I got yelled at for not waiting behind the red freaking line..even though? NO ONE else was in the waiting room. So I mumbled that the lady could go eff herself when I walked away. True story.), he sat in the stroller (good golly, I have to buy a freaking 2 seater stroller. that'll be ALL kinds of fun to load and unload from the car!! woo woo!!)..and was soooooo well behaved (even after I accused him of pooping his pants..which he didn't. The nurse must have passed some major gas or something) I almost thought he was the good old Calix that I once knew! And once the nurse heard about the whole...jealousy thing? She totally gave him 4 stickers. Score, buddy! He currently has those 4 stickers in his crib with him..because he's just never been given stickers before. They're mighty special. He was also all kinds of praised for his good behavior from his mommy..and was totally kissed as well.

At WIC, he sat at the bead table thingies playing quietly by himself..and when more kids came in, he was totally interested in them (he's not around very many kids often..so when he is? He mostly gets up in their faces and stares at them like 'oh my gosh..someone else my size!') and was, once again, *so* well behaved! The nurse there also gave him a sticker (rackin em up!). I was just so amazed, ya know? My baby's back (or at least he was today..)!!!

Har. Har. The guard at the gate when we came back was all telling Calix he's too young to be drinking (juice) and driving or something..and like..didn't even look at my ID. Hmmm..makes a girl feel ALL kinds of safe, lemme tell ya. Stick a couple of cute kids in the car with terrorists..and they'll totally be let on post without having IDs checked. Nice..real nice. Just sayin.

Anyway, he took a short nap..he and mommy got *lots* of snuggle time in (snuggling at his age now..is just us smashing our faces together and saying "mmmmmmmm.....mmmmmm..." at the same time. he loves it!)..we had a few armpit fits..and mommy let him eat his raisins out of the box! And oh my gosh..she even ordered pizza for dinner! Followed up with a nice warm soapy bath..and milk! And stories!! It just must have been the greatest day in the world for him..haha.


So yes, little guy..you totally earned yourself that basketball hoop. We'll pick it up tomorrow when we do a bit of grocery shopping.


And now for Orion's daily dose of pictures from home (we miss you, honey!!):



blah..2 weeks post partum. I guess it would help if
I weren't leaning back a bit. And also? Holy tired!
Jeeze, Ab..jeeze!! Take care of yourself, woman!



I need to like..dye my hair..and get more sleep hahaha

Has anyone ever told you that you look absolutely beautiful in red?? Well if not, I'm tellin ya now. It's definitely your color. You look great, as always! And it is just me.. or has Calix's face changed? Like... i dunno if it's the shape of his face or his smile or what, but he looks different. I guess that happens when kids get older haha *snort*
