I really can’t believe that this week is over already. It seriously flew by, and I’m sad that it’s over. It was nice to relax and spend some much needed time with the family without the rush of everyday life, and the stress from work. Just three short weeks, and then we’ll be out for Christmas! Let the countdown begin!
Landon has grown so much over this Thanksgiving break. He’s way more mobile than he was just a week ago. He hasn’t started crawling, but he’s figured out how to get himself around, and get into things. I have a feeling that I better start baby-proofing the house soon!
He’s also learned how to clap this week. Clapping isn’t a completely new thing for him. He’s actually been doing it for a while now. But this week, he learned how to do it correctly! He loves patty cake, and he gets a big goofy grin on his face when I start singing it, and he excitedly claps along.
He’s also been a complete turd this week! Very aggravating, cranky, tiring, but still amazingly cute. I don’t know if he’s just not feeling well (he’s still not over his ear infection and runny nose), if he’s teething (his 3rd and 4th top teeth should be coming in soon), or if he’s just testing his limits. Getting that baby to sleep and stay asleep, changing his diaper, getting him dressed, has all been SO hard. The other day, when I took him out of the bath, he kicked his little legs back and screamed! I’m pretty sure he was throwing himself a little tantrum! He also gets mad and will throw his toys or hit his hands down. Woah! Does this baby have a temper or what?!?!
It’s so hard to not let him have his way. I guess because I’m not entirely sure if it’s just a tantrum, or if something’s wrong. I know that he’s way smarter than I probably give him credit for. He’s not a little baby anymore, and sometimes it’s so hard to remember that.
Since he refuses to lay down and take naps without a complete fight, we let him bounce himself to sleep in his jumper… so bad.. but hey, Mr. Hubby and I were tired, and we needed some sleep too!
Even with all the fuss and frustration, I’m still sad to go back to work. I’m going to miss that mischievous little face. I’m going to miss him making loud grunting noises because he wants some of my sweet tea, and I’m going to miss those sweet naps when he falls asleep on my chest in the middle of the afternoon.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… I spent part of the evening wrapping up Landon’s Christmas presents this evening. I can’t believe that it’s less than a month away. Twenty days and counting!
