Side note - the blog formatting is being wierd and doesn't reflect line spaces, etc. and I don't have the time or energy to look into it further... so I hope you can muddle through this bare-bones entry...
The background:
I hadn't started pumping milk yet, and don't have formula, so I am IT when Webber gets hungry. We haven't used pacifiers yet - we just let him suck on our pinky finger to tide him over if his food is not ready RIGHT when he wants it.
My mom was over last week helping out, and I wanted to have our car seat checked at the safety check that happens once a month. I hadn't considered anything besides taking Webber with me, since we're, as I've previously stated, joined at my nip. But since he was sleeping, my mom suggested that we just go, and she could stay behind with sweet slumbering Webber. It was less than 3 miles away, and I calculated that we had another hour or so of him sleeping, based on history. I decided this plan would be okay, left my cell number and took off.
I was gone for maybe 45 minutes, checking my cell phone every 5, surprised to see that yes, my battery was still working, and no, there were no missed calls. All must have been fine.
Meanwhile, Webber threw history to the wind and woke up after just a little bit. When he wakes up, he's ready to eat. Mom changed his diaper, saw that he was hungry, and tried the pinky finger, only to be rejected due to fingernails longer than he's used to. She reasoned not calling me by figuring that I'd be home "any minute". So she let him do what my sisters and I used to do, I guess, which is to suck on her chin. Well, 15 minutes later, I arrived home to see him fastened to her face, with her saying, "I think he's ready for you!"
I must state that this blog really and truly was not created to spread laughs over the internet at my dear mother's expense. And I thank her for allowing us to capture this spectacle on film.
And now without further ado, click here for the video.
For those of you who can't open the video, this is the short version:
And now some pictures from the past week.
Life is good.
