{Hillybilly Bone}

Press play on the video, but don't watch it, just listen while you read and enjoy the pictures of remi d.

with a daddy from {sterling}

and

a mama from {lochbuie}

remi couldn't help but have a little {hillbilly bone} down deep inside.

he worked on this tooth for several day.

several days of fever, diaper rash, and pure {cranky} baby.

but i have to say, it's so worth it.

every single time i see this tooth i can't help but giggle.

he's such a hillbilly with his hilbilly tooth.

please, mom, no more photos.

oh, ok.  just one more.

this kid.  he is so great.

he is a {wild} man.

at 11 months old:

he is obsessed with his bottle.

he has several words:

ba ba (for bottle, of course)

mama

dada

hi! {with exuberant arm waving thrown in}

aaahhh-dun (all done)

he is a crawling machine.

he always has a bruise on his forehead  (from trying to stand up on his own too near tables)

he attempted his first step a few days ago.

he is {terrified} of the bath.

i mean, i know boys like to be dirty, but geeze!

when i say terrified, i mean full body shaking, screaming at the top of his lungs to the point of nearly vomiting.

so right now bath time is few and far between (stinky boy!)

and when we are forced to plop him in, it's a 2 man job.  one to wrestle the boy still and the other to quickly soap up and rinse off.

oh. and he LOVE love love love's his mama.

and i'm ok with that.
