Milestones

Posted in Dean Thomas at 5:51 pm by winz

While we were home a few weeks ago my sister-in-law, Amanda, suggested that we start putting Dean in the Bumbo seat. He has really been working on holding his head up and she thought this would be a great alternative to tummy time. Dean loved the Bumbo! I think he enjoys being able to sit up and take in his surroundings. Moreover, I think he likes being able to interact with Matt and I from a new angle.

Dean also caught his first cold! His friends at the ECDC are go generous they wanted to share their sniffles. Dean has been such a trooper despite Matt and I working to master the art of the suction bulb. It’s amazing the number of things that cease to gross you out once you become a parent. For some reason I’m perfectly ok with touching the mucus that comes from his nose and picking his boogers, but I won’t do that for anyone else!

On a side note: A personal first for me. I showed up to work earlier this week with baby poop on my hand. I thought I had washed them but I guess I missed a spot that needed some scrubbing! I must have “worn” it for a few hours before noticing the bright yellow streak on my finger! Yeah…SO GROSS and on a whole different level from snot. My personal experiences are great birth control for many of the teens I work with.
