The 4 month Boogie

I can't believe that 4 months have gone by.  Everyday Brings something new and it feels like I will never be able to keep up with all the little changes that happen daily. But for this brief moment I feel like I have it down, it may change in the next hour but for right now in this exact moment this is what Baby Z loves and hates.

Loves:
Playing with his hanging toy
standing
sitting up
tv (oops I know, I know)
being naked
sucking his fingers
sucking his thumb
Sofie the Giraffe
Smile at mom and dad
talk to people
cloth diapers (sposies give him a rash)
cuddling

Hate:
tummy time
car seat
not being able to see you
not being able to move his hands
being tired

So that is Z in a nut shell. I find my love for him grows everyday and he brings so much joy to my life. It really is crazy how he has completely changed my life (for the better) ! I have some pictures to share

Rocking his pink Bumbo

Anyway the last 4 months have flown by and have been filled with so much adventure. Not many adventures that take us away from home but everyday is a little mini adventure that takes us to every corner of our everyday life.

Tips for when you have unexpected guests

Since becoming a mom I have noticed that I don't really get dressed for the day until after Z has had his midmorning / lunch time feed. This puts me in an awkward position when people drop by unannounced. So I have devised a plan for when this happens. If for some reason you have about 2 min to get ready for you visiter (like you saw them walking down the block from the window, or maybe they give you a phone call "hey I am coming over I will be there any minuet") This is what I do:

• Run to my room and change out of my PJ bottoms 
• I wipe the spit up off my PJ top (I wear PJ tops that look nice so I can just change the pants in a pinch)
• sprtiz on some perfume (to hid the sour milk smell) 
• Throw my hair into quick pig tails
• splash some water on my face
• a quick brush of my teeth

Then I answer the door. If you are like me and have a messy house as well I grab a broom and make it look like I was starting to clean before they arrived unexpectedly, or if Z is crying I just take a broom out and leave it so it looks like Z interrupted my cleaning.  Also if I have and extra second I spray some cleaner on the mat by the front door so my house kinda smells cleanish. If however I have no warning and some one rings the door bell they get me just how I am: messy hair, PJ's and spit up. 

Another trick I have is when you have a baby and people know it you can take a bit of time before you answer the door so if I can I really try to change my pants so it doesn't look like I have been lounging all day (not that I am).
