Today I had a big gap in my work schedule so I ran to get Kallen and brought him home thinking it would be a good opportunity to play with my son for a couple hours. Lets just say things did NOT exactly go according to plan.
We got home and I quickly began to realize that Kallen was tired. It was about time for his bottle so I thought "Oh good! This will work out great!I'll just make his bottle, and rock him to sleep" (which = some good cuddling time).
Shawn was home painting our living room and had a cup of warm coffee sitting on the piano, and as I grabbed Kallen and headed towards the rocking chair his quick little fingers managed to catch the edge of the coffee cup. Next thing I knew, the coffee cup was laying on it's side, and coffee was running down the edge of the piano landing in a puddle on the carpet. The coffee had somehow managed to get all over me, but miss Kallen completely. (Good- at least I won't have to mess with Kallen's clothes too)
After just standing there in shock for a couple seconds, Shawn came over and we quickly moved into action cleaning up the mess. I set Kallen down in the kitchen with his bottle and went right back to help Shawn save our carpet! Just as we finished cleaning up, I turned to head to the laundry room so that I could spot clean my clothes before for the stain could set.
I glanced down at Kallen to see him shaking his bottle upside down, completely covered in milk. (He normally just guzzles his bottles) I couldn't believe what I was seeing! How much destruction can one child do in less than 5 minutes??
So now I am stripping Kallen down, and running upstairs to change my clothes. (I was also trying to keep him out of Shawn's paint in the living room) I sat him down in my closet and was just starting to change my clothes when the grunting started..........
That's right, he was working on a dirty diaper. (ok, seriously) I now have just 10 minutes before I have to leave. I was so frustrated with kallen that I just sat him in his crib, dirty diaper and all, and went back to finish changing my clothes.
I was just entering Kallen's room when I noticed him beginning to lay his head against the crib. (this is a BIG sign that he is ready to sleep) I changed his diaper and started to get him dressed when I noticed his eyes where starting to close. I finished up changing him and layed him in his crib. He was out within 5 seconds.
I know that older kids usually get naughty when they are tired, but I had no idea that it could start as early as 9 months.!! Lately as soon as Kallen realizes he is tired, he fights it with all that he has. I'm sure this is the first of many days like this but for now, I would be fine to not have another one for a LOOONG time!
Our poor bedroom right now is just white walls, and random pieces of furniture thrown together. It drives me crazy but I just had no idea which direction I wanted to head with it.....now I have something to work on!!
I read in a magazine that by 10 months your baby should be able to eat these biscuits, so while I was at Target today I grabbed a box. Once we got home I was actually reading the box and I don't see any nutritional value or reason to feed these to my son. 
I can't believe my baby is 9 months old!! We had our checkup today and here are his stats:
