Neko is four months old today. Insane. He's chatty, and giggly, and sweet. We love him so much. We've had a rough couple of weeks, but hearing his laugh almost always makes things better. I ended up taking a half day off today. I just needed a personal day with my little guy. It was so very nice to pick him up early, to spend the afternoon napping and playing together.
We've been dealing with the negotiations with the seller of our new house (trying to get him to fix the roof and other things) along with a very stressful situation at work, which escalated this week. And, as if that weren't enough, on Wednesday we came home to find that the diaper pail had been dragged into the hallway and emptied out. Half-eaten dirty diapers were plastered all over the floor. Annabelle also decided to snack on an expensive pair of shoes that I had ordered from Zappos but intended to return. Not anymore. Thanks, Annabelle! Thursday night, after another ridiculous commute home, Aaron dropped us off and went to pick up take-out since our kitchen's a disaster, and he didn't have the energy to clean and cook after our rough week. He called me from the Thai restaurant to tell me that the car had been towed. Awesome...
Things are starting to get resolved, and I keep telling myself that at least some of this stress if temporary. Soon we'll be moved into a great neighborhood closer to work. Things will be better for all of us.
Neko's giggles and chatty voice always cheer me up. He's so verbal. He "talks" in the back seat as we drive home from school everyday. He sleeps in child's pose with his little butt in the air. It's adorable. He likes to watch videos of himself giggling. They make him giggle even more. He can grab his pacifier and almost put it back into his mouth. A step towards independence! Amazing! And he has the coolest hair in the world. Everyone agrees.
He does have the best hair. And the giggling is so sweet. I'm sorry you guys have been having a rough week. Once Olvier pooped with such force while he was being changed that poop squirted all over our dresser and into some of the clothes-filled drawers. I remember feeling almost too incredulous to be upset, but not quite. We love Neko so much already and it is so nice to read stories about him. :) Thanks Courtney
ReplyDeleteIrena, you made me laugh so much. Courtney, I'm so sorry you had such a bad week. I knew about some of it, but not the car being towed. 😟 That's so aggravating.
ReplyDeleteThat is a bad week. I'm so sorry. The commute sounds dreadful. And I'm glad we didn't have to deal with dogs pulling out old diapers -- just having to deal with bags tearing and diapers spilling out was enough.
ReplyDeleteNeko is so handsome -- ridiculously cute. I love reading about his jabbering and almost being able to handle the pacifier. It's very cool and I remember well those stages with Oliver. They were (no joke) super exciting.
There is nothing sweeter than seeing an actual child/baby in child's pose.
