I'm such a slacker!

And I don't really have a good excuse except that I've been busy...like the rest of the world so I don't even think that is a viable reason! I've been substitute teaching at a local elementary and high school and it is a nice respite from stay-at-home-mommyhood. Don't get me wrong, I love being home with Mr. Man but time away is really nice, too. And, as an added bonus, I'm learning first-hand how my kid will not act...yeah, famous last words, I know!

Boudreaux has been staying home with Daddy while I work and that has been eye-opening for both of them. I have to make sure each night after bathtime that Walker is in PJs that are "town-worthy" in case the boys decide to take any unplanned road trips...Daddy doesn't always (read: never) gets The Boy in real clothes. I'm not complaining though, because he is fed and dry and relatively clean most of the time. God love Dwayne, he just jumped in with both feet and is doing exceptionally well with Walker.

Walker turned 8 months old on January 29th. Eight.Months.Old. I can hardly believe it! Where has time gone? Mr. Man is totally mobile and has graduated from the "Fish-Flop" to the "Inchworm." I have full faith that he is going to get the hang of real crawling but for the moment the inchworm will do. He can successfully get anywhere in the house; quickly! He has also figured out the standing bit. We have to help him stand and establish a firm hand-hold on a firmly rooted object but he will then stand for quite a while. When he is tired he will just plop right down on his little diapered heiney and giggle (most of the time). He has also figure out the whole smile-on cue thing which came in really handy for his 8-month photo shoot with Mama and Rae-Rae.

Speaking of his 8-month photo shoot (clever segue, huh?)...here are some of my favorites:

He is absolutely precious!!! I can't believe it's been 8 months already!

They do grow up fast, don't they? We've got two birthdays this week at our house. Avery's yesterday (2) and Xander's on Thursday (4).

By the way, I kinda feel the same way you are about how your kids will NOT act. I've volunteered to direct a children's choir and the one little girl that answers question with "yeah" and "uh-huh" just about gets on my nerves!! I'm going to ask, but I'm not sure how far I'll get in getting them to answer with "Yes, Ma'am." Sheesh.
