well, he just turned ten months today. and he's JUST about ready to walk. it's surreal how fast he can crawl.
christian had such a busy day w/ us. lois read to him in spanish (maybe he'll be the only truly trilingual person in the family), played piano with him, and fed him peaches. i only lifted him a few dozen times, jumping (more like bounding) high into the stratosphere ;) talk about a workout! he's 23 pounds of solid muscle. hah! no need for the gym. mebbe i'll cancel my membership and go to my sister's instead ;)
yeah. well, i was spinning it around on the table while lois was saying in a screechy voice, "SPIN!!!" it really got the giggles going in him, so much that we were sure he was peeing his britches. he was alternating bites of food, sucking on a individually foil wrapped (celestialseasonings) tea bag, and watching the show.
in keeping with the rhythm of things, i decided to up the ante and started to flick the coaster into the air. you know, spinning it like jugglers throw rings... oh man, he was squealing big time! i was getting so much velocity on the spin that it went over their heads a couple times, causing me to reach over and snatch it out of the air. and once, i even flicked it so hard that it went behind me towards the wall...and i misjudged it.
yep. i didn't reach back far enough and it slipped through my fingers and a (rounded) corner of it caught me square in the forehead. BONK! it took a little skin off and scraped a wee bit of blood.
as if i wasn't dumb enough before...i just love it when i try to knock down my IQ another 50 points!
