In the last post, I posted a below video of us playing peek-a-boo (or in Sir Drool A Lot’s case, peek-a-bib). Well, Reed has quickly figured out how he can participate in this game even more actively. Watch the video below!
He’s a hunk, alright!
Reed’s activity center is the bee’s knees.
So, I was walking across Vanderbilt campus on a lovely spring day earlier this week, heading to see sweet Reed. I felt pretty good, I had purchased a new plum-colored dress and I thought, for once, I was looking like I had a bit less baby belly. Well, things quickly took a turn for the worse when a random stranger who was enjoying her cigarette decided to yell from a good 50 feet away, “You sure look cute pregnant!”
I promptly replied, “Well, I actually already had my baby.”
She then told me “it will go down.”
OMGWTH?
Anyway, Chris got a call from me and tried to decipher the story through my sobs.
I’m over it now, mainly because even though I have some weight left to lose there is no way in hell that I look anything like I did when I was pregnant. I mean, let’s review recent history:
I know that I don’t look anything like this anymore. I am still going to get really serious about getting back in shape — I mean its no fun to have to shoehorn myself into one pair of my old jeans that sort of fit and not be able to fit into much else from my old wardrobe. But, I am determined to not let that crazy woman get me down, and will see her face as I suffer at the gym melting my baby bump into oblivion!
Update: “Carter” has been placed at a rescue and will be up for adoption very soon! Yay! Thanks to my parents for being this boy’s fairy godmothers!!
My parents found this dog. He is a young male Cocker Spaniel, very very sweet and seems to have lived inside in the past. Does well in a crate. He is in desperate need of a good home or a no-kill shelter or animal rescue. Please, please let me know if you are interested in him or can help us find him a loving home.
My mom stayed with me last weekend because Chris was at a conference. I took Monday off and we took Reed to the zoo. We had a great time!
We saw meerkats, sleeping baby tigers, gibbons, cougars, a red panda, leapords, elephants and more! Our most favorites were the sweet giraffes. They were just precious! One big guy came over to look at us. I think he thought we were on display for him. We also enjoyed walking around the critter encounter petting zoo and checking out the old farm and the house built in 1810. Here are a few pictures!
Yesterday, I looked into Reed’s mouth and found at nice little white tooth poking out from his bottom gum. Today, our little man rolled from tummy to back finally. Also, this week he found his tongue and has been messing around with it like crazy.
Reed is 5 months old today! He’ll be starting to shave pretty soon!
I have been at work for 4 1/2 hours and my dress was totally on backwards. Is this a sign of impending insanity? That is all.
