And then he fell.

So sad. The tile is hard and it makes a horrible sound when a head hits it. Ugh. I get upset just thinking about.
But check him out trying to escape out into the 90 degree weather.

Dumps out the bag of weeds. Dumps out the container holding the tiniest jalapeno sprout poised to mature into a delicious snack. Homemade jalapeno poppers? That dream is gone now. A baby boy eating dirt, very much the reality.

Exploring

I thought maybe we should go to the park but I didn't want to pack everything up and go anywhere. Then I realized our yard is probably like a jungle to a baby, so I sat him down outside and started weeding.

Morning Bath

I am inhaling my peanut butter sandwich while I upload this post. It's 1 pm and I've been ready to eat since 10:30. Louis and I went for a walk to scavenge through Georgetown today. I was hoping it was trash day because in that neighborhood there are treasures to be had on trash day, especially at the end of the school year when the kids at the dorms just put all their stuff on the sidewalk instead of packing it to take home, but alas it was just recycling which meant lots of empty wine bottles. I did find out about a block-wide yard sale happening tomorrow morning so we might have to return. There's also some fantastic houses for sale over in that neck of the woods, so if you've got a winning lottery ticket and a hankering for some humidity I can point you in the right direction. We were out for awhile and when we got back to the car Lou was ready to eat, so I put the key in the ignition, turned on the A/C and got in the back seat to feed him. Halfway through the feeding the parking enforcement vehicle showed up and parked right in front of us. Shit! We were long overdue and needed to get ourselves GONE! So, trusting that my little man sucks milk down like a champ and could handle a shorter feeding this round, I buckled him into his car seat and we took off. Well, you might know where this is going. He was NOT pleased. We made it home, I changed his diaper and put him down for a nap, and now here I am. Scarfing a peanut butter sandwich knowing full well I have some great ingredients in the refrigerator that are not going to be making it into any sort of wonderful meal anytime soon.

Bathtime!

A few things...

The black spots on Lou's head in the photo above are mosquitos. Damn things are eating him alive, and I know he looks delicious but they need to LAY OFF the baby!! Also, check out the shoes that are his feet! We are now doing this when we go outside because he wants to walk, so foot protection is in order. Oh, and he is still eating grass. Today at the park he tried to eat the mulch. He will eat anything. Let's hope this continues so we can keep feeding him good veggies and fruit and not end up with a "nugget diet" toddler.

Prior to this he was perfectly content with the soymilk carton which he also found in the bag of stuff to go out for recycling. 

Garden

It's full of weeds but we've got lettuce and zucchini and a bell pepper plant. The tomatoes are coming along and the basil is doing great.
