In this last one, he is mocking me because once again, he got out of his outfit before I could snap the picture. Sigh.
It would seem that child modeling is not in the cards for us.
So instead, today we played the game "Hey kid, do you think you're old enough to watch TV? Here's the remote". Ha! Just kidding! Kind of. When I was pregnant, I swore (swore!)that MY children were never going to watch TV. But now, I don't care if he wants to watch Rambo, parts one through eight; he can watch anything he wants if only he would just. sit. still. Just for five minutes. Just for 30 seconds. But alas, it's not to be. He will glance at the TV and then turn back to whatever he was doing, which is usually crying, trying to eat something inedible, crying, trying to climb up something unstable, or crying. Such a nut.
Speaking of eating things that are inedible, today I tried to get Graydon to eat sweet peas again. He had them a few weeks ago and didn't seem to like them, but the Gerber box and all the baby websites say to reintroduce foods that didn't go over well the first time, because they may actually like them the second time around. So I did. And he made faces with the first three bites, but he swallowed them. And then? on the fourth bite? Before I had even gotten the food near his mouth? He opened his mouth and vomited. Vomited sweet peas. All over himself. I've never seen anything like it. It's not like he had a spoon or his fingers in his mouth. He wasn't gagging or coughing. He simply looked me straight in the eye, opened his mouth, and willed the peas to come back out. I kid you not. What have we gotten ourselves into, I would like to know.

I tried again to get some pictures of his new teeth. They are seriously adorable. But that child will not let you in his mouth for love nor money. Here's the closest I came to snapping them:
Sealed tighter than a bank vault.

So cute! Have you tried putting regular cooked frozen peas in a blender for him? They taste way better than the horrible jarred stuff! The book Super Baby Food gives lots of good ideas on how to make your own baby food. It tastes better and is a lot cheaper! It is really easy too - you just need a food processor or blender, some ice cube trays and ziploc freezer bags. Good Luck!
your son is adorable! Thanks for the advice about the shots...cuz the first round went exactly like they did for you. That night was horrendous...and it almost seemed like he was still pissed the next day!
