Musings all around
I have a post up over at Musings Of A Housewife today - one last tale from our vacation for you. And if you are here from Jo-Lynne’s place - Hi. How are ya? I promise I won’t talk anymore about boogies, at least not any time soon (although I did have a certain someone trying to hand me one just yesterday. . . I’m just sayin’).
No, today we have my top three baby milestones, because that’s just the kind of day it is, as in a take it easy day.
Top 3:
Dancing - I LOVE it when babies learn to bop around to music. When Sam was a baby he bounced up and down. Robby has more of a back and forth head shake going on. Sometimes he shakes so enthusiastically that he knocks himself over.
Self-feeding - I don’t know why, but I think this is the cutest thing ever. The way a baby has to meticulously pick up each little pea and slowly, oh so slowly bring it to their mouth. And then how they sit there and thoughtfully stare at you while they mush it around? I don’t know, I have just thought it was adorable with both of my babies. When they then move on to dumping everything over the side of the chair? Not so much. You should see my dining room rug . . .
Kissing - The open-mouthed comin’ at ya kiss. No doubt, it’s the greatest, especially when it is the first thing the babe wants to do when they open their eyes and see you in the morning, as mine did today.
Happy Friday/Weekend!
I love the super drooly open mouth kisses!
i love all those things!
AND when they do the whole body smile - they see you, their mouth splits into a huge grin and their entire body squirms in pure happiness!!
I LOVE these! Especially the kiss! FOr moments like that, I almost wish my baby would stay a baby forever!
I love these milestones you mentioned and cannot wait to see Anna do all three - I will have to remember to take pics/video of each and post on my blog
Thanks again for stopping by our launch party last night. What a success it turned out to be!
I love each way my boys kiss- they are all different and hubby and I were just talking about that today!
Steph
yes, o yes. i love that too. my little girl loves to bop her head to the side, like she’s shaking water out of her ear!
I love the self-feeding too! I have way too many videos of Baby eating, I can’t stop myself!!
This is a baby milestone from way back when, but I loved it when Baby finally learned how to “hold on” when I picked her up. So sweet!
Love your new look! Very fetching
My fav baby moment is the tiny hand smacking that was done on my chest when they would nurse. I always wanted to hear the music that was bopping around in their heads when they would start tapping me!
OMG! This totally brought back memories for me… from the little booty bobbin’ that my daughter did when she was a baby to the open-mouthed kisses from both my babies… too fun. Brought tears to my eyes too… they’re getting older… and it’s got me considering more kids… although… as Musings of a Housewife would say, I’m in the Hell of Potty Training right now. Ha… so maybe I’ll wait a while… if I do decide to have another!
PS - Reluctantly/Accidentally got a mommy haircut… and now I love it… and think I might go shorter! Crazy!
Hi Beth,
Thank you for coming out to the launch party Thursday night. It was so nice to meet you. I wish I had more time to talk to you.
We need to schedule another mommy blogger night so we can have a chance to actually sit down and talk.
Blog On!

They are all great….but watch out…the open mouth kiss turns into
licking….not so nice!
Hmmm. I might have missed your boogie post? Hmmm.
Yes, got to love that open mouth baby kiss. I always find it sortof funny when certain people have kids. You know the ones who can’t stand messes and things of that sort. They soon learn that even messes can be cute when it is a baby we’re talking about.
have a great weekend! What’s left of it at least.
I love the big open mouth kiss with the tongue hanging out, gets me every time. Those babies, they just know what to do, don’t they?
