Adverturous Bubeaner

Bubeaner scared Momma half to death this afternoon. He learned how to climb out of the walker. Somehow he managed to push off the metal support bars with one foot and leaned over the opposite side. He was left doing a hand stand with both little legs up in the air! Thankfully, his belly got stuck on the tray so he did not fall head first. It was actually quite comical. At least it was comical once Momma had rescued Bubeaner and had caught her breath. The walker was put into storage.

"Yes? Umm, it was like that when I got here.
I did not touch it."

Oh, and this occurred minutes after Bubeaner spilled uncle Ivan's plant on the floor in the dining room. There is still dirt everywhere. Momma has been "trying" to kill that poor plant since she was entrusted with it a few years ago. Bubeaner may have succeed.

Then minutes after the walker incident he decided to climb into Sandy's empty bed. The problem came when Bubeaner tried to move into Bevo's bed while Bevo was still sleeping in it. Bevo did not appreciate it and actually snapped at him. He was immediately reprimanded and both Momma and Bubeaner sat on him. Usually he is pretty patient with him. We are hoping the swift reaction (and pack status reminder) will be enough to prevent future similar incidents.

"I am not talking without my counsel present.
Do you know Grandma's number?"

The scary part is that Momma was within arms reach every one of these times! Momma still don't know how he manages it. This boy is going to give Momma a head full of gray hairs! It is also worrysome to think about what it will mean when Bubeaner is a completely independent toddler.

We still made it to the doctor's office in the afternoon after all that excitement. After examining Bubeaner, Dr. Z informed us that he may have/getting over a cold, but that his ears, throat, nose and chest all looked fine. YAY! She also did not believe it was a reaction to the milk. However, she does believe that he is teething again because his jaw is swollen and sensitive to touch. Bubeaner is getting his molars! Momma felt silly because in retrospect it makes perfect sense. It is exactly what he did when he was teething the first time. It just never crossed our mind that he would be getting his molars NOW! Dr. Z recommended orajel, ice, tylenol/motrin, or pretty much whatever made him feel comfortable.

They had just received their new shipment of the seasonal flu vaccine, so Bubeaner got his first flu vaccine since we were already there. Poor baby was not thrilled. He even gave RN Sandra his scrunchy "angry" look. This only made her laugh which did not amuse Bubeaner. Bubeaner and Momma played the Spanish version of Pat-A-Cake (Papas y papas para Mama...etc.) while we were waiting at the doctor's office. When Momma stopped singing, Bubeaner continued "patting" while saying "papa... mama....papa....mama"! Momma immediately whipped out the camera, but Bubeaner stopped doing it. Of course!

Goofing off at the doctors before his shot.
On a cold day, it's nice to have on a pair of wool socks.

He had a better evening after having some tylenol. Bubeaner is still not back up to his normal diet, but he ate much better tonight which was a relief.
