I was looking down at Edy playing a game of peek-a-boo with my boob (a fun new game she just discovered this week, where she will suck for a second then look up at me and smile and then suck again - repeat over and over and over). I was smiling back at her, of course. She arched her back in satisfaction, stretching out her neck, when I spied something...
what the heck?
I leaned in a little closer. Hidden in the folds of her second chin were these spiky little pine needles.
(Those damn things are everywhere.)
Awesome... they've been there... umm, I don't know how long.
Freshly scented, car clean, I should just hang a deodorizer from her neck, pine.
Happy 4 months, my pine scented, does anything for a smile, little girl. You are 1/3 of a year old, 1/3 of the way to no longer being a baby, 1/3 of the way to me crying hysterically at you being my last.
oh how i love the peek a boo boob game :)
ReplyDeletehappy happy four months my sweet virtual niece!!
They grow so darn fast. :(
ReplyDeleteLOL! I found a pine needle in Eli's diaper yesterday. How do they get EVERYWHERE?
ReplyDeleteAnd the peek-a-boob game is priceless. Babies are so great...when they're being cute.
She's just keeping you grounded!
ReplyDeleteI honestly bounce back and forth between looking forward to having all my kids on their own and wanting them all here. I feel a little psycho. They'll all be here for Christmas (even Matt) and that makes me the happiest I've been in forever.
I remember that game oh so well! As long as my nip didn't go with them I was all good!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4 months to your pine scented beauty.
this is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. of course I can relate almost 100%. Haven't found pine needles, but we haven't gotten our tree yet.
ReplyDeleteMy son always has stuff in the folds of his neck, so my husband decided I was bad at bathing and took Mason into the shower with him the other day to give him a proper cleaning. As I was drying him off, what do I see but dental floss stuck in his folds! Of couse I showed my husband, who has now shut his mouth, lol. They can hide all sorts of crazy stuff in there!
ReplyDeleteOh look at that chubby chin! Yes I always find things hiding in Ryder's chin too.. Though never a pine needle. Ryder is 7 months old :(. I too just want him to stay just as he is
ReplyDeleteI did not expect you to say suck and boob in the same post Beth. You surprised the heck out of me.
ReplyDeleteAdorable photo!!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I need a good laugh, I come read a few of your posts.
