Goodbye Bumbo, Hello Big Boy Chair











Hey fun groupies out there following the cute progression of our big little boy! I am finally out of school for the summer and I am slowly finding the time again to do my blog and check things like email! So, if you have felt neglected and/or ignored by me in the last few months, I can only plead my case as a newly working mom trying to figure this whole dual-role thing out! Let's just say motherhood is a heck-uv-a lot easier without work in the way! As for the little man, he is just so damn cute! He is getting stronger, funnier and even more attached to us each day. He is really battling teeth at the moment which has completely ruined my perfectly honed "babywise" schedule, but I keep telling myself he'll return to it once those little buggers pop through. It is so interesting to me how a mom really knows their baby's different cries. I can so tell in the night when it is the teeth, or food, or just a little comfort need. I always thought that would be so hard to figure out his needs, but it just seems to come! He is really a very happy baby so it has been hard to see him so sad with those big puffy gums. I swear he's trying to break four teeth at once. All I can say is that he was a record breaking baby at birth, so maybe he's trying to show off by getting teeth in quads and aiming for a full mouthfull by one! I hope not! As for these fun pics, I just had to showcase the progression this month from the bumbo (which now resides in the closet) to the big boy high chair. Check out those thighs! It was a sign to Greg and I that if you have to pry your son out of the Bumbo, because it is literally stuck to him hip to knee, you probably shouldn't shove him in it anymore! Too fun!
