With all of the weird, “he’s seven months old, but they count him as if he’s four months old, but he’s behaving developmentally as if he’s three months old, or five months old, depending on who you talk to and the mood Atti was in when he was being evaluated” confusion, I’ve been a terribly neglectful mother in recording all his first’s.
And so many of his firsts were so gradual I didn’t realize he was doing them until he’d been doing them for awhile. Now he’ll grin at me, but for so long he’d just give me a little sideways smirk where I’d wonder if that counted as the real deal or not. I still don’t get a full on giggle out of him, more like a series of grunts. Does that count? Or does it have to be like you hear on TV?
Today he hit a milestone that is unmistakable.
Today he had his very first blowout, leaking down the legs, spread all over the two blankets he was on, don’t even try to clean up just strip him down and throw him in the tub, could you just hold still already so I don’t spread the poo around even more, diaper.
Why couldn’t he have been delayed on this one?
