So stupid. So. SO. STUPID

Well, count me out for the "Smart person of the year." Yesterday, Micah woke up early from his afternoon nap and was totally whiny. The whinyness turned into clingyness and he was basically terrible all evening. Finally during supper, I realized that I completely FORGOT to feed him his afternoon bottle. Yep, totally forgot to feed my kid. Seriously, they should make you take a basic intelligence test before becoming a parent.

So. . . today I started to do the same thing. I put him down and then 20 minutes later remembered I didn't give him a bottle again. I was worried that I'd forget to give him the bottle when he woke up. . . so. . . I naively thought I'd just quickly wake him up, give him the bottle (which always makes him sleepy) and put him back to bed. After all, I didn't want him waking up early from his nap again, right? Stupid, stupid Mommy. You can guess what happened. He didn't go back to sleep afterwards, and now as I type this, Micah is screaming at my legs because he is way overtired and his stupid Mommy woke him up when he was sleeping. NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING KID!!!

One Singular Sensation!

Today, Micah is one year old. What a year it has been. And surprisingly, we all made it through with no major catastrophes!! Happy Birthday Micah!

Constipation Nation

Let's just say Micah did a lot of straining and clenching yesterday. These photos don't really do it justice. Wow, will he love looking at these when he gets older!

I don't care what your political persuasion is; I think we can all agree that Barack's dancing needs some work.

A Special Day

Today is my Papa B's birthday! I just spent the weekend at his house and it was so nice to see him. I'll get to see him again soon when we're celebrating MY birthday!

Great Moments in Parenting

Let's just say that my sharp thumb nail and Micah's face were in a race for the door. Poor little guy. Bad Mommy.

My friend Amanda sent me this link. It's an old SNL sketch commercial advertising Mom Jeans. Hilarous!!

Micah experienced his first National Balloon Classic last week. It was pretty hot, but he had fun!
