cellphones
Colin loves cell phones (as all babies do). He'll put the phone up to his ear and pretend like he's on it. It's adorable... sometimes. He thinks everything is a phone... or he just likes it when we say "Yobosehyo" when he does it. Maybe he likes the praise/attention. Whatever. My favorite is when he sticks the banana in his ear. He looks like his dad. I gave him my old phone to play with. He loved it for the first day. The novelty has worn off and he knows that that phone is not in commission... I don't get it though. I turn my keyguard on and volume off so the buttons don't even beep. Why does he insist on mine? Like the remotes... we gave him two remotes that we no longer use but he wants the ones he can't have.
Sometimes he wants demands my phone while I'm using. This sucks because he'll fervently push the buttons while I'm on the phone, and more often than not, hang up on the person I'm trying to talk to. Lately when I put Colin on the pot to poo, he needs something to do, whether it's the NY Times crossword or just reading the latest bestseller, but today he wanted my phone. I stupidly obliged. I should have known better but I was half asleep for Pete's sake (who's Pete?). As Colin is pushing buttons, calling all sorts of people I don't want to talk to (I forgot to turn activate the keyguard), in one deft move he plunges his hand holding the phone straight down. I yelped and grabbed his hand but when it emerged from between his pudgy little legs, to my dismay, there was no phone. It lay there in a pool of fresh, yellow pee... buttons (and ear/mouth piece) down. I ran to the bathroom to wash the phone in the sink. I knew I'd probably do more damage than good, but how can you not wash a pee-soaked phone?!
So now, if you call me I won't be available to answer because my phone is in the ICU (on my bed) drying off.
bodyparts
Colin has learned a few body parts. Ear, head, nose, eyes, feet, belly button, belly, and of course... penis. Colin's ped cracked me up because she was like, "Did he find his penis yet?" I laughed and said, "Yes" to which she replied, "Once he finds his penis, he's never letting go." hahaha
We now interrupt this broadcast.... baby meltdown in progress... stay tuned for more episodes
