Today I became a SPY

I really didn't think I would become one of "those" moms ever, or at least until they were 14 or 15 and started having boyfriends or girlfriends. But yet again, I was wrong. Today I found myself crouched at the end of our king size bed spying on my 6 month old daughter!

This afternoon Chubby Bunny fell asleep on my bed after a feeding session. (yes I know there are multiple things wrong with it; don't judge me!) I decided since I needed to get Grandpa's Birthday dinner ready I would leave her there since she sleeps for hours at a time in our bed and literally half an hour naps in her own. I set up the monitor in our room and I went downstairs. Well at most 35 minutes later I hear her. Since she is getting more and more mobile everyday I went up to make sure all was well. I could tell by her rubbing her face in the bed she was still sleepy, so I crouched down and spied on her for at least 5 minutes, if she had seen me there wouldn't have been a chance in hell she would go back to sleep!

Really I can justify it (spying) in the name of safety, but spying is spying and I just had to laugh at myself. It was comical.  An almost 30 year old hiding from sight of a 6 month old... Oh the low... Hee hee heeee!

The really sad part is, she didn't go back to sleep... 

So after everyone (except me) had a nap, long & short, Monkey had a snack. Today because Baby Sister was eating apple sauce, he had to have some. So they had a snack together. It was cute. He even fed her. Which he is surprisingly gentle and good at!

I realize this bouncy chair situation looks dangerous too, so I won't get the mom of the year award. I'm OK with that!

 

Then for Grandpa's gift we did some painting. Monkey LOOOOVES painting. So i set up shop outside since it was beautiful. Monkey said it was too bright, so he asked for sunglasses. I couldn't find the real ones...

 

 A wonderful Aunty of his showed him that real art is messy art. We can't ever get away with painting without at least 4 hand prints now. Thanks Aunty, you know who you are! I love the prints, hate the mess.

Mostly I posted this pic because it's fricken cute...

And to complain that Grandpa forgot to bring his AMAZING camera tonight, which by the way he is now calling "Sandi's Camera" because he knows who should really own it! I wish... Just look at the difference in quality between the upper pic's and this... I wish.... 

Side note: I will likely, if I ever find some extra time, be taking out the kids names off here. I have dreams (more like delusions! ;) of this one day being read by many and realized how much information could be used off this. So when it happens, it will be only Monkey and Chubby Bunny.
