Whelp! We had a rough few days here this week. Xander had another effing cold, and more effing teeth, and this meant he didn’t want to sleep. Which also meant: I didn’t sleep. On night three, or something (I forget, it gets rather blurry), I could only doze with him in my lap while sitting up on the couch.
BUT, he’s feeling better, even if still slightly snotty. So now I’m back to my fulltime job of Spring Watching. It’s April, ya know? I’m ready for some leaves and some sun and not needing to grab my winter coat when heading out the door.
I’ve continued to enjoy practicing with the camera. Xander makes a fun, albeit challenging, subject. He’s not so great at sitting still, so usually by the time I turn the dial to where I want it, he’s off licking doing something else.
Oh, hey, bud! Can I take some pictures of you?
You’re a little close, how about you…
Oh, no, don’t touch. Gentle with Mama’s camera, bud.
Gentle…what are you?
Oh, you’re kissing it? That’s….nice. I guess.
Hey, let’s try a game! Where are you knees?
Good! And how about your tummy?
Erm, yeah.
You sure found it!
OK. Let’s say bye-bye to camera!
Gah! Okay, then.
The knees and tummy shots! Oh, my! So incredibly cute!
So sorry he’s been unwell and up. Once you get used to having sleep again, it’s so brutal to have the multiple midnight wakeups.
Hang in there!
