This baby was cranky. He's been cranky for a few months, now. I thought that the advent of crawling would lessen his manic obsession with being held by me...I know, I know, he just loves me....but I do get tired of holding him. I hate to let him cry, so I hold him. I'd like there to be a happy medium.
He was especially cranky on Saturday. I think he might not be feeling great, and it breaks my heart. Finally asleep, I captured one of the few happy moments in his morning.
Actually, after this nap, and then a second nap- unheard of for this boy- he was feeling better, and played on the porch pretty happily. So what am I complaining about? He won't want to be held forever...
Lucy's tongue was on display, as is the custom of her people, the long-tongue-big-mouthed-stompy-feet sort.
Bowden played with an empty soda bottle and asked more times than he is supposed to for a real soda.
The answer was no.
Sodas are reserved for those with stomach issues.
And mommies and daddies who stay up too late because they need some alone time with free hands and no crying, and are then tired during the day...

He's still a sweet boy, even without the sugar.

Was that really a Tuesday post? It is 7:30 am here in Vermont (Tuesday, 6/24) and I had a real scary moment when I thought maybe I had missed my day off somehow and was supposed to be at work. But today is Tuesday, my day off and I am going strawberrying with Sue and Iris up at Douglas Orchard in Shoreham.
