There were a couple of milestones this week. The biggie was me & Mrs. Fetched being married 25 years as of Tuesday. Doesn’t seem that long, usually, but it’s like half my life so far. We were courier-ing some school books to Daughter Dearest, that’s how we spent the evening. Big splash, huh?The other was Mason reached four months on Wednesday. Lordy, the kid is developing… in the last week or so, he’s really started vocalizing. If he’s happy, or annoyed, he’ll let you know. Constantly. The other thing he’s started doing is squats. Literally. He’ll stand in someone’s lap and up… down… up… down… without much support except for balance. Baby Buns of Steel! Seriously, he has really strong legs and his neck muscles have always been pretty good. P.O.D’s young bride, who works in a daycare, told us about a kid who’s bigger and older than Mason and still needs help supporting his head.
He’s almost sleeping through the night. He’ll give us a 5 a.m. wake-up call from time to time, but 7 a.m. is getting more common. It’s really too bad The Boy and Snippet are missing most of this… they’ll regret it later.
OTOH, today was not a day for anyone to get out if it could be avoided. Winter #1 has been pretty cold, as far as winter goes on Planet Georgia these days… lots of days that it didn’t get above freezing. We finally got a little snow out of the deal. Down in Atlanta and points south, it was one of those nights where it rained, switched over to snow, then froze; here it was just snow. About an inch, enough to throw the pod people into panic — if they’re not wetting their pants over a random brown guy in a turban, an inch of snow will do it. Seeing as I was working at home yesterday, and the office was within the melt-freeze zone, I elected to stay here and work. The snow will stay around a while, since it won’t get above freezing until Tuesday. Daughter Dearest had most of her classes shut down today, so she got some exercise.An electrical problem has occurred at the chicken houses, so I must go to see what that’s about…
Bookmarked this. Sometimes non-standard due to you for sharing. Positively worth my time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Far (& the missus) on the 25th. May you have many more happy anniversaries :)
ReplyDeleteHey Nudge, thanks much!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 25th anniversary! We'll be married 20 years this October.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Mason is doing very well. The b2 boy came into his own at about 6 months of age.
Good luck at the chicken house.
Hey Boran, early congrats on your #20!
ReplyDeleteMason slept all night, hooray! Woke up at 7:30 this morning, went "hey!" Then I thought "coooool."
