Doing Dishes

Isn't he such the good helper boy? He likes doing dishes.

It'll be so sad when he can't fit in there anymore...

So things on our list to do: Put thePirates box together. That's all really. I have the box, I know what I want to send him it's all just a matter of going and doing it now.

it doesn't bear to mention

We're all good here and hope that everyone who keeps up with us (especially thePirate) is well also. Matey moves so fast now that even tho its not "real" crawling I'm going to label him as dangerous.

Matey and Mommy

So I cut my hair (well Grammy did the cutting) and I know some of you might point out that I just got it cut in June but well, after having Matey pull it out when it was down I was mostly keeping it up and then it didn't look as cute. With this shorter hair (which I may take even shorter: what do you think?) he doesn't pull it so much because it doesn't get in his way so much.

Yes, I CAN see the look of absolute love and happiness on Matey's face. What? You don't think that's what his face is saying? huh...

This is Matey looking at the other little boy with hims Mommy (i.e. the mirror).

His crawling improves everyday, and I finally found him a Dr. whom he'll be seeing on the 21st. We love thePirate and are trying very hard to find time to put him a box together.

More of the cuteness

He looks a little ...off in this one... not sure why...

Reaching for the camera, as always...

Oh hey Mom! What ch'a doing?

!

Just chillin. Nothing happening.

So same ol' same ol' here. Cute Matey, tired Mommy with a new hair cut (soon to be posted) and never enough hours in the day!

Come get your Matey fix

So when I say that Matey is "crawling" this is what I mean. It's not real crawling-look-out-he's-gunna-get-ya but he's certainly heading in that direction.

Just so you all know- Matey isn't really upset, he's mostly mad that he can't reach the camera and complaining loudly about it. He likes to complain and 80% of the time he "talks" it's to tell me that I'm doing something wrong/something isn't perfect.

i'm done now

I ask you is this not the face of absolute adorableness or what?

He can't decide which is more important: his fishes or the camera?

So I have a stone (kidney) that needs surgery. It's not currently blocking anything or causing pain/problems but at any moment it could drop down to where it would cause great pain/problems so something (surgery) needs to be done.

I'm planning it for after Thanksgiving: early to mid December. I had already planned on starting Matey on solids on the 19th of this month (his half birthday) so I will continue with that idea and pump as much milk as I can and store it up. The surgery itself isn't a biggie (only a few hours) but depending on how much pain ect. I might not be up to feeding for a while. Hopefully by the time of my surgery Matey will be so much into "real" food and only using milk for snacks/put to bed that he won't mind TOO much that I'm out of it. Hopefully.

Other than that things are great! Maybe I'll even brush my hair and put of picture of myself up *shock* and *awe*.

It's cold here

homie Matey. (he's crawling you just can't tell)

so cute!

monkey Matey grabbing at the camera.

and here's thePirate wanting the camera... i mean Matey... sry, they just look so much alike i get confused...

the tissue in front of him had been on his head for... 30-40 seconds covering his face/eyes and had just fallen off when i took this. i LOVE his expression.

so a few days ago it was almost 90 then it was in the 70s and now it seems to have stopped in the 50s during the day and dropping in the 30s overnight. winter is apparently upon us.

my little love (Matey) is all but crawling: goes up on his hands and knees and falls forwards. he does it best if someone is on the floor next to him staying one crawl ahead of him. i think it gives him something to shoot for.

I tried to put a video of Matey crawling on but it was too long or moms computer is too slow or something so i'll try again a nother day.

*kisses* for thePirate
