Running

Sorry for the late update. We had a hectic Saturday and I was out of commission on Sunday with a terrible migraine. Saturday my mother and sister in law came down to visit. My mother in law also brought the H1N1 and flu vaccine for Ajax and administered those. He cried for maybe 20 sec then promptly forgot the whole ordeal. lol. It was very nice to see them both and they stayed the night, we all hung out, ate a ton, and watched a silly zombie movie. Thanks again Dara and Lisa!

As I said, Sunday I was no help, and unfortunately was in bed most of the day. Around 4 I felt better and we were able to go for a nice walk, but that was pretty much our day.

Tomorrow I’m headed to Chicago for work. Mr. Dave is coming with me and we got a room in Chicago for the night. My parents are watching Ajax Tues. and Wed. and though I’ll miss the little guy, Dave and I are looking forward to a little trip.

Kicking baskets

Lately my child has been a pain to get dressed. He has discovered that if he kicks his legs and throws his arms in all directions, I have to chase him all over the place, while trying to cram a Tee shirt over his head, or sock onto his foot. It is now hilarious for him and he seems to enjoy the game. Overall it’s an ordeal. lol.

Tonight I was trying to fold laundry but Ajax is now obsessed w/ baskets.

MAX

Today was a very sad day in our home. It was time and we had to put Max down. Considering the vet put Max on doggie hospice care over a year ago, no one thought he’d make it this long. As we adopted Max we were never 100% sure of his age, but from what we pieced together from the old owner it seemed he was about 13 years old. Dave and I had him since 2003, he was a member of our family and will be missed dearly.

Comics

Well ladies and gentlemen Mr. Dave has completed his masterful zombie comic and I’m so very proud of him. I’ll include the link, however, it’s not for children.

Dave’s comic

On a baby note, we had a relaxing Sunday. We went visiting over my Grandpa Nader’s house and made some more baby food. Our Sundays are pretty low key generally as we’re mostly home bodies. There was talk of going grocery shopping and mowing the lawn, neither of which was accomplished.

Six

Ajax is 6 months old today, I can’t believe it. Seems like I was just pregnant, lol. The little guy is still growing and we had to get him a new big boy car seat. He’s fully able to sit up and play, and he can roll from his tummy to his back with no problem. He’s very vocal and chatters away incoherently. He hasn’t really gotten the finger food thing down yet, as I keep giving him little biscuits to hold and chew on, but he doesn’t seems to really know what to do with them. We had a low key day as the weather was cold and rainy, though we did manage to get one brief walk in when the weather broke this afternoon.

Yesterday (and Thursday), my parents babysat Ajax (and my Aunt Susie, thanks Aunt Susie! Thanks mom and dad!). And my mom stayed over Friday night so that Dave and I could go on a date. We did dinner and movie; we saw Zombieland as October is officially Zombie month in the Indish home.

We got Ajax this baby piano at Target today for his 1/2 yr birthday, he really likes it.

Sophie

Can you tell which one of the toys below belongs to Ajax and which two are for the dog?

As a new mom I must walk around with a sign on my back saying “sucker.” I heard about this toy called “Sophie” and how it’s great for teething babies. Well all the moms were raving about it saying how it was the best little toy in the world. Well, of course I thought- Ajax needs a Sophie ASAP! So, I had Dave get online and order it; it arrives, I’m excited, Dave is skeptical (to say the least) and Ajax, well he doesn’t really seem to care one way or the other. I gave it to him during dinner and as soon as he threw it to the ground, Max pounced upon it (it even squeaks). I won’t even tell you what I paid for it. lol.
