(he just was not going to be happy unless he got to try mommy's cucumber...)
alrighty... just to clarify (before i forget), in this case, esp means economic stimulus payment. i was on cafemom.com yesterday evening and saw an article that said that people were supposed to start getting these checks in may, but because of a new computer program or something, the government is supposed to start handing them out today. cool- while i AM a tad bit leary of the whole thing (i mean, since when does our government just hand out free money without having a hidden catch somewhere...), i used this cool online tool at irs.gov to figure what our esp payment would be using our tax return info and let's just say that i'm happy with the results. yeah, go do it for yourselves- it's a way to kill time until this 'free' money shows up... sorry, still a little suspicious! c'mon- admit it, i can't be the only one just a little curious about the whole thing- look at the track record... yeah, enough rambling. onto the cheeseball. the cheeseball in question is none other than the wonderful baby boy that i am SO blessed to call my son. his latest thing? posing for the camera. while not as complex as his last newest thing (which i'll get to in a minute), it's just plain funny. it started yesterday afternoon, when he was goofing around with kelvin... i ran to get the camera to take more photos of him and his daddy, and wouldn't you know, he got this silly grin as soon as i turned it on. ever since, he does this thing when he sees the camera, where he leans forward, tilts his head back a little, scrunches up his eyes and gets this really wide smile. he actually poses! he knows he's being funny too...
(the cheeseball and his daddy- he thought it was extra funny that he had kelvin's string in his mouth!)
his previous 'newest thing' was last week- i had so many things to do, including making more baby food, and of course, i couldn't carry him around the whole time. seems that his exersaucer and he oceanwonders tunnel were a no-go, so i just set him on the kitchen floor with various toys and (safe) kitchen utensils. he was fine for a while, then started whining. i let him carry on, then all of a sudden, i heard him fall backward and hit his head on the linoleum and cry. i thought. it just so happens that when i turned and ran to get my poor baby and kiss his little noggin better, what i found was cole, sitting on the floor where i had left him, hands pressed against the floor. as it turns out, he found out that if he slapped the floor with his little palms and then 'cried' really loud, it got the same reaction as if he really HAD hit his head. ha- smarty pants! he got me a second time, but then after that, mommy got wise... and he had to resort to screaming at the top of his lungs to get his way. what a goober! smart, but still a little goober... my, but they learn quick!
(this morning, posing for mommy- see the cereal on his face?)
(starting cosmo a little early are we?)
and, as for the tooth, it's still there! we've been able to see and feel it since friday, so that's really exciting! and along with his tiny lone little chomper has come a few good nights and some naps. wow- what a difference! he's still a bit demanding and all, but he IS only 8 months, and still hasn't gotten the crawling thing down yet, which lends a little frustration to the situation. he'll get it, one of these days!

I heard the money is supposed to come out of next years tax return. So whatever you're getting, your tax return will be that much less. I think, but don't mark my words on it! Miss you too!!
I know what you mean by them learning so fast...Trae has this obsession with q-tips, and last night he got a hold of one. I said "hey you, give me that.." and he smiled a huge smile a put it in his ear! He was moving it like he was actually cleaning them out. I wonder if he would understand the "nothing bigger than your elbow in your ear" lecture yet?
Hmm, well that is weird then. Free money? wow.
