rollercoaster

the past few days have been full of ups and downs.

first, the downs:

nuby has been really fussy and unhappy these past few days, what I'm calling the 'screaming riots'. he hasn't been happy unless I'm holding him, doing the baby bounce and walking around the room. at the slightest hint that I slow down or heaven forbid sit down, we're back to the endless screaming.

we've also been having a few rough moments with Kini too, power struggles and other four-year old problems. lots of trying to negotiate/explain/reason with a boy who has a huge vocabulary, while keeping in mind that he is, well, four.

it's been an advil kind of week.

but now the ups:

nuby has become a coo-ing cutie. he's fully responding to our coos, and his face lights up when I get him on his back in our official mama-nuby-breathy-vowels position. what really takes the cake is his conversing with us: he'll respond in coos like a real conversation. AND, last night he responded to my 'hiiii' with a picture perfect 'hiiiiiii' of his own!!

last night nuby slept in a 9-month size sleeper. he's two days shy of 2-months old. I don't know whether to be proud or terrified!!




..but I sure do love those lips.
