Bragging and Nagging

[NoNonsenseMama]

Well, I was going to post about how I'm a horrible mother and didn't put sunscreen on the baby.  I'm getting use to the warm weather still and since it wasn't actually hot, I guess I just didn't think about it.   I also didn't plan on 2 hours at the park (that's another story).  Well, needless to say he got burnt.  I didn't notice it until later on in the day, but he is a red little tomato.  The back of his head and neck and down his arms.  :(  I feel awful.  He seems totally fine, so looks like I'm the one who has to suffer, thank goodness!  I would feel even WORSE if this was upsetting to him.  I don't want him to suffer because I was a moron.  Gah, I am buying sunscreen to put in EVERYTHING: my purse, diaper bag, the van, AND here at the house. 

So, the BRAGGING part.  I wanted to take pics to show my wonderful cafemommies what an IDIOT mommy I was, and he SAT ALL BY HIMSELF!!!  I am SHOCKED.  He's only 4 1/2 months old!  He's wanted to sit for a while and he will if you hold his hands, but if you let go, he always sways around and tips.  Not now!!!  Here's a pic of the back of his baked head WHILE sitting UNASSISTED!!

    

He sat like that for a few minutes before slowly teetering over.  Haha.  Anyway, thanks to all my BIN ladies for the support on how to cope (emotionally and medically) with his little burn.

The moral of the story: if you're a big fat, moron mommy like me, then make sure you pack the sunscreen.

That's awesome that he's sitting up. Nakoa started that at 4.5 mths too....I think the chubbiness helps them with that somehow. It didn't help him with rolling over though...that took forever.

It's amazing how fast they grow...seems like I was just seeing birth pics not long ago.

Sucks about the sunburn, but don't beat yourself up about it.....

hehe, my daughter has that same play gym thingy!  She doesn't use it now that she's 14 months, but it's cute anyway.  Actually, she does still play with the musical fishy!

Anyway, you're not an idiot, and YAY!!! for sitting!  My dd didn't sit up until she was almost 8 months old!

Mar. 3, 2008 at 11:30 PM hee hee hee, that's something I'd do, but since I live in WA we never have enough sun to really burn, seriously, even in the summer, I rarely put on sunscreen, and only put it on my kids when I see other moms doing it.
