SUPER SUPER CRANKY. Or at least he was yesterday. It was quite the six month celebration!
I told Nate I thought Calvin was trying to reenact the pain he afflicted upon me at his birth. If that was his goal, he did a good job. Yesterday was plenty painful for me, although this time he did all the screaming.*
(To be honest, I didn't do any screaming at his birth. And there wasn't much pain, either. I had an epidural and slept. Highly recommended.)
Poor baby is teething. He is gnawing on everything within reach — his toys, his hands, the remote, our furniture, his spoon, Nate's nose, my chin. We are going through Tylenol like it's Diet Coke.**
I tried to get a cute picture of him to commemorate the REALLY AWESOME day we had together, but most of what I got looked like this:
Enter Mattie, the love of his life.
Laughing at Mattie does not always end well, to which Calvin's face and Nate's pants can attest.
Cranky or not (and usually not — hopefully those teeth will come in SOON), this little boy is the joy of my heart. It's been the hardest — but happiest — six months of my life. We love you, Calvin.
*Except for the screaming in my head. There was quite a bit of that.
**No, that is not a typo. Yes, I know we need to drink more water.

He is screaming for Ugly Molly! Have you tried freezing canteloupe for him to gnaw on? Worked wonders for my grandkids! Hope the toofies come in soon. Screaming or not, he is beautiful! Love, Auntie She
I am going to take a picture of him with Ugly Molly and post it just for you, Auntie She! She's still in all her wedding finery, so it should be a good one. :)
Happy six months, sweet Calvin!
I can relate the gnawing on everything in the house part...man teething is a pain (ha ha...i say that like I'm the one suffering?!). He is SO cute. He is even cute when he's crying. I can't believe he's six months already. Love you!
He is crazy good looking. I can't believe it's been 6 months. And don't even THINK about drinking more water! Why do you think you've been so happy??????
Poor little guy. Sorry it was a day full of screams. The funny thing is, you really forget those pretty easily. (which is one reason why the earth stays populated.)
Halfy birthday, Calvin!
Cranky or not, he's probably the cutest little baby boy I've ever seen!!
I was stifling giggles until I came to the picture where Calvin laughed until he puked... now I am just laughing loudly and hoping whoever is meeting in Bodoni cannot hear me.
