Badge of Honor

Someone recently advised us to take lots of pictures of the boys (done and done!) most especially when they do something crazy or get into mischief (definite room for improvement here). The plus side being it gives you some time to cool off and see the humor in it all and it is documented for posterity (and future dating partners).

Well as luck would have it that advice came just in time because we definitely had one of those moments the other night. Gavin was being super fussy and acting like he was hungry so we gave him a bottle. Still fussy/hungry acting. So we gave him another partial bottle. Still upset. So we put him in his high chair and gave him some solid food. Better, but still kind of fussy. We thought we'd just try to put him to bed instead. Nathan offered to take him up to bed, but I thought maybe he needed a hug from his mom (how naive!) so I insisted on doing it. I wiped him off, picked him up out of his high chair and nuzzled him on my shoulder at which point he promptly threw up everything we had just fed him. Threw it up all over me I should add. He was perfectly fine after that (poor kid!).

Nathan, thankfully, remembered the good advice we'd been given and snapped a few pictures:

{Looking a little ashamed. It's ok Bud!}

{Checking in with Mom}

{All smiles}

I consider the whole experience a badge of honor really. 

A badge I intend to show to all his girlfriends someday...

How could I not?
