Calling Mommy

Momma woke up with a bad cold this morning.  In retrospect, the symptoms have been there for a couple of days but caring for a baby kept us too busy to notice.  So Bubeaner and Momma spent the day in a cocoon at home: everything dark and quiet.  Bubeaner was bribed with cheeri0s and taped episodes of Se$ame $treet and Vegg1e Ta!es.  (Has anyone else noticed E!mos highpitched voice?  After a while it's pretty annoying.)  Bubeaner did not appear to mind.  Of course, he was also cuddling in bed with Momma.  He loves cuddling in bed.  

Bubeaner was entertained by taped episodes.

He would move around the room until E!mo started speaking.

Sadly it meant we missed Gymb0ree today.  We teach Bubeaner to share, but cold germs we try to keep to ourselves.  We will also be missing church group tomorrow.  There is no sense in sharing this "joy" with the grandmothers. 

We woke up from our nap to find Sandy had joined us on the bed.

Most people sundown and feel worse at night.  Momma being unique tends to feel better towards the end of the day.  This was helpful since today Bubeaner was more active in the afternoon probably from all the inactivity in the morning.  Babies do not make allowances for ill parents.  We played and sang some.  Ok, we played and he squealed at the top of his lungs.  He also spent a big part of the afternoon on his new favorite game: Lets-see-what-we-can-get-off-the-table/chair/TV console/planters/etc.  Those little hands are adept at getting a hold of things!  We have to keep an eye on him at all times.  

Momma was not feeding him fast enough.

But the best part for Bubeaner was dinner.  Momma had made herself a tomato-based pasta soup (like Bita used to make her) for lunch.  And Bubeaner had some of the soup for dinner.  He L O V E D it!  He had well over a cup.  Obviously it helped that this one was seasoned unlike the baby meal he tried last week.
