Missing Camera

DISCLAIMER:  Momma's camera decided to take a well deserved break and disappeared.  So rather than waiting until her return, we will have to do with camera phone pictures.

Our return trip was almost uneventful.  We were concerned about traveling in the afternoon/evening rather than the morning.  But it turned out to be better for the Bubeaner since he is more active in the morning.  He took his long 3-hour nap, and then (when we stopped for dinner) he ate and was changed into his pajamas.  He slept the rest of the way home.  The only draw back was that Lari and Momma suffered from a slight case of food poisoning.  Thankfully, it was not too serious.  And, yes, Lari was with us on the return trip.  We were able to steal her away for a few more days since our parents were still out of town.

Sadly aunt Lari flew back home on Monday.  We all miss her terribly (even the dogs)!  The dogs get excited when we go into the guest bedroom and then mope around after they find it empty.  Dogs are quite pitiful when sad.

Bubeaner delights in being home.  He absolutely loves when his Dadda comes home after work.  Aunt Pau has also been spending a lot of time with Bubeaner catching up.

He looked adorable in his outfit; sadly 

the picture did not do him justice

Our return home has also brought about some big changes.  Bubeaner moved into his crib in the nursery!  He is sleeping in his own room away from the parents!  He, of course, continued with his routine without a problem.  As to the parents?  Sleep has been suffering a little with the multitude of monitor and nursery checks.  Thankfully, those are diminishing in count every night.  By month's end, we may actually get a good night's sleep. 

On the same note,  all of Bubeaner's things were moved out of the master bedroom.  The dogs were livid that his things were being moved.  They "complained" to Dad the moment he stepped in the house.  Silly dogs!  

And it was a LOT of things!  We had forgotten how large our room was since for the last 10 months it has been packed with a bassinet, air purifier, humidifier, and all the other daily things that babies need.  Sadly some of the items are being taken apart and put up in storage.  Time goes by so fast!

Bubeaner enthralled by Dad's phone;

he was looking at a video of himself.

Bubeaner continues to grow.  He is more stable on his legs.  He turns over quite easily from front to back and vice versa.  Sitting unsupported has also been mastered.  However, we are still working on the crawling.  His military crawl is getting quite fast.  And he is getting farther up from floor but just not all the way up.  He did start crawling backwards again, which surprised us and visibly frustrates him.  But, he is working on it every day.

The last two days Bubeaner has been out of sorts.  He was a little fussy yesterday when we dined with a family friend not even accepting Dad's comfort.  And all day today he was difficult; this is unlike his normal self.  In the late afternoon, we discovered the source of his discomfort: three more of his bottom teeth are coming out... all at the same time!  After some Ty!enol he was back to his sunny disposition.  It's only sad to think he was in pain the entire day and Momma missed it.  So in one month he will have gone from toothless to having 4 teeth on top AND bottom.
