I ain't gonna lie. This 4th month was not as glamorous as the first three. This month's title pretty much summarizes the most notorious thing about the past 30 days.


What I want for Christmas is for every parent and parent to-be to read
The 10 Basic Principles of Good Parenting by Laurence Steinberg. But since that's not gonna happen, I'll settle for the address of place that recycles saliva. And pays at least 10 cents per litter.
But let's be fair, there is something charmful about hearing him pronounce "GRRRRRRRRRR", his first word. Over and over and over again. Seriously, it's adorable - if only because it's the first time we actually feel like he's saying something to us....even if we don't really know what it is.
He is now able to temporarily sit down on his own, and can stand up if we balance him holding his hands.

We attribute this amazing ability to a very high-tech device called the exersaucer. It allows him to work on his bionic leg-strength while developing extraterrestrial hand-eye coordination. Which leads me to my next point:
how odd it is to see parents make such a big deal out of every little thing their kid does.

The boy has found his thumb and will not give it back. I swear I can see his eyes roll to the back of his head when he finally manages to make his elbow bend at the right angle to make his thumb land in his mouth. It's like a scene from the movie "The Exorcist". Not in this picture though.

Christmas is around the corner but we feel like Santa already swung by here - and left us the most adorable little human being in the planet - that has a mom that cheers him on when he poops.
"Do - it, do - it!"
