Post-Bath Smiles

It's hard to get a picture of us together looking at the camera, so it was a surprise that I got this one!

My husband, Levi, is traveling for work, so his normal bath-time duties fell to me tonight. While it isn't a terribly difficult mom-duty, it's not one that I really (usually) enjoy. Honestly, I skip it a night or two when Levi's out of town and Gavin hasn't done anything too messy.

When Levi's home, this is my quiet time to read a bit, watch a few minutes of non-baby friendly tv, and just veg out. Gavin's been having an off and on fear of the shower, too, so you never know if it's going to be a total tear fest, or if he's going to want to stay in until he's a prune.

Tonight was a good night, though. We checked out, lined up, and tossed around all of his rubber ducks. And there was a whole lot of coloring on the tub and shower walls. :)

Dancing

I was playing music on my computer and a Cheap Trick's "How Are You?" came on. Gavin started spinning and dancing. I swear there was only juice and water in that sippy bottle!

Here's some more spinning:

So... hey?

I've decided to try blogging again. There's nothing like waiting over a year between posts, right? My life isn't terribly exciting, but I'm feeling the need for an outlet. Let's see how long that lasts.

So, to start, I've changed my title from Pamelama to Monkey Eats Cardboard. Monkey is my son, Gavin's, nickname, and, well, he eats cardboard. Books, boxes... you name it and I've probably had to dig it out of his mouth. He's about 15 1/2 months old now. For his sanity and mine, I try to take him out a lot. So, hopefully, I'll be documenting our adventures.
