Mr. Cole has been kinda clingy and grouchy lately. I think he's teething. (Isn't that the standard answer for any baby illness/grouchiness/change in behavior?) I tried to get a peek at his mouth, but it ended about as well as you would expect when putting a finger in a mouth with two razor-sharp chompers just rairin' to chew.
Anywho, I spent a good portion of the afternoon with a baby literally attached at the hip.
This made Cole very happy. And me very tired. (Slings are great, but you're still luggin' around an extra 23 pounds of baby.) Doesn't he look so content? His expression is something along the lines of "Yeah, I totally got what I wanted. I've got this lady wrapped around my little finger. Which I am now going to chew. *Nom*Nom*Nom*"
And maybe he does, a little. But could you say no to that face? Besides, they're only babies for so long.
I later experimented with the 'back hold', where the baby rides on your back. This was great until I felt him trying to bite me, which ended the experiment rather abruptly, much to his dismay.
Fortunately, he was later appeased with the swing.
When Cole's not feeling clingy, there's nothing he likes better than to crawl around the house and explore. Well, I don't know if crawl is the right word. It looks more like a painful army slither, or (as Lance said) he's awkwardly swimming on the carpet. Well, whatever, it gets him where he wants to be!
p.s. Did you like the fig leaf on Spencer in the shower? Just thought I'd show off a little of my mad video editing skillz.
