Kiddo Catch up...

All at once, my little man is rolling over, trying to sit up (he's successful for short periods of time) and trying to crawl!!!  He's not gotten the crawling concept quite yet, but he definitely wants to move when he's on his belly.  It irks him to no end when it doesn't happen.  But those arms and legs flail about it his best effort to get... somewhere.

He's almost 6 month old.  I can't believe it.  I knew time flew with kids.  I have 2 others.  You'd think I'd be more prepared.  But... no.  It's still unbelievable. 

I found some baby ties in a consignment shop last Friday (brand new)  and bought them JUST so I could take Tanner's picture in them, lol.  He is such a chill baby.  He wore the tie with no issues.  He liked having something there to play with and chew on, actually. 

 

Carter's been testing my patience lately.  I don't know why, but he's just been MEAN to me recently.  Monday, he had me sobbing in the car and thought THAT was hilarious.  I don't understand it.  But hopefully it's something he'll outgrow?  I don't think it's intentional.  He thinks he's being funny.  But it isn't.  He told me today that Tanner hates me, too.  Too.  Like, in addition to him.  And he wasn't in trouble or anything.  We were just sitting on the couch.  It hurt my feelings.  A lot.  I know it shouldn't.  I know he's just a 4 year old crazy not trying to ruin my day with his comments... but... it does ruin my day.  ::shrug::  Not all of mommyhood is sunshine and roses, I guess.  At least he's not a teenage girl.  Then I could be certain of many more years of that kind of behavior.   

Trenton's still with his dad.  I try not to dwell on it.  I miss him.  And him not being around, being the sweet and good natured little man he is, makes Carter's proclamations of hatefulness all the more painful, I think.  I'll feel better when he's home, I'm sure.
