when i picked up adam today from his school, another mom was picking up her daughter, abbi, who is also transitioning to the new classroom on friday. abbi was born september 8; adam was born september 13. this mom and i pouted together. we love our teachers and they love our babies! just when you feel like you've gotten to know someone... :( the teachers are sad too, but i know they're ready. new babies have been accepted into the school and their class is FULL. when i looked at the sign in sheet today, i noticed that abbi and adam are the oldest babies in the class... the 2 experienced veterans, what with all their rolling, fruit & vegetable eating and babbling, now moving to a new place where they'll be rookies... only able to watch from the play mat sidelines while others crawl, feed themselves and communicate with actual english words.
honestly, i'm wondering what will happen with mr. adam about a month after seeing all this new baby action? i'm wondering if it will motivate him to get moving (i hope not! we have our whole lives for moving and mama's not ready to babyproof our house!). just tonight, when we came home from school and work, adam and i played together on the floor after dinner. he lifts his chest. and then, he lays his chest down, scooches his knees under himself and pushes. he's got the concept of what his arms and legs need to do to move, but hasn't coordinated them all at once. yet. *sigh*
leaving the school, i carried him out snuggled in his carseat b/c it is just so cold and windy there on the waterfront. we have a snuggler on our carseat, keeping him so warm and cozy. but man! this kid is KILLING my arms and back. even his teacher asked me how much he weighs. well, folks, this weekend i weighed myself. then i stood on the scale holding adam and gasped at the 20lb increase! seriously!? 20lbs? it can't be. but can it? when he was sick about a month ago, i took him to the pediatrician and he weighed 17.5... i just read online that anywhere from 17-21 is normal for boys at 6 mos. ai-yai-yai. max weight for our carseat is 22lbs. my sister-in-law has a britax "big boy" seat for us to use... which she offered to loan us in may when we visit them. oh baby adam, 2 more months, babycakes?!?
in other news... adam is taking a big interest in the dog, finally. as i am holding him, he watches otis run around and smiles at him in the morning. and a few evenings ago, he reached out to pet otis for the first time! (granted, adam reaches out to touch or grab any and everything within site, but it was cool to see him bond with otis!)
adam had a great visit from his mamama and pop pop this past sunday! they brought him lots of love, hugs and kisses.... and a very cute new outfit and eric and me some tasty lentil soup! :)
i finally got around to the squash last weekend. like all foods, adam scarfed it up. he loves it. tonight we tried peaches from a jar and he loved those too. so, looks like i'll be processing some peaches this weekend... if i can find them. they're not really in season...
and, this photo of adam napping with his blanky (thank you, aunt monica!) and binky was just too precious not to share :)
