The Continuing Adventures of Mr. Bebeh

February 14, 2010   

Let’s see… He’s a champion drooler now. He’s been drooling like a leaking open faucet for about a month. It seems early, but from the way he eagerly chomps on everything in sight, it seems as he really is teething. Wow! He’s got a pretty hard bite.

His mornings have been quite different from the last time I wrote about them. He wakes up closer to 6am now but is also not as consistent as he used to be. For instance, last night, he woke up at 3am and went back to sleep around 6 or 7, not quite sure when.

We had his 100-day celebration! Here are a couple of pics from the actual date:

Totem!

Here he is, dressed up and nowhere to go, a couple of days after his 100th:

We had a small gathering. It was remarkable in that it was a small gathering but FULL OF BABIES. I mean, like 10. I hadn’t even realized I knew so many babies. It was pretty crazy. Most of them were 1 and under, which a couple of bigger kids in the mix.

Sadly, I failed to take any pics during the gathering with the kids. But here is the baby with a rice-cake-cake. You heard me: rice-cake-cake.

And yes, those are arms you see holding the baby up. My mom’s, to be precise.

I wish this pic wasn’t so unfocused because it’s adorable.

He’s super-long! He was over 26″ tall two weeks ago.

He really wants to eat his feet nowadays but he can’t really reach them in most positions. Here is one that sort of works:

I am going back to work in two and a half weeks, which means we are spending a lot of time looking for childcare. It is a heartbreaking process, made worse because there are so many people who have so much negative to say about our decision. Sucks.

I’m so sorry to hear that people are being negative about your decision (to both work, I assume). How a family chooses to organize it’s life is impossible to second guess from the outside. What is it about kids that seems to give people the sense that they have license to touch/judge/command that which they shouldn’t?

Okay, enough negative. Baby is cute as ever! I love the toe eating pic. I hope you have luck on the childcare front.

I go back to work on Tuesday… So sad.

Love that picture of you and your mom and baby all stacked!

And why didn’t he have his full regalia on for the party? It looks awesome!

Holly, I hope we can meet up for lunch like we used to. I know I’ll be sad to go back to work too…

Christy, the outfit was for a large 1-yr old (my nephew wore it for his 1st birthday, and indeed, he was a large one), so the baby’s feet only went to the crotch and his arms didn’t really even make it into the sleeves. We were holding the clothing in place! Heh.
