Mitch can sit.

Mitch can sit. He hasn’t figured out how to pull himself into a seated position, but if I set him that way, he will stay…Mitch can also throw himself onto the floor. He gets quite a kick out of that. I set him down, he looks at me all proud like then flails *on purpose, although why you would flail on purpose beats me* and he’s lying on the floor laughing his butt off. So I pull him back into his seated position and here we go again. It is rather adorable, for now. He likes the dog. Kopa *the dog* makes him laugh. Oh and if he flails himself to a lying position and then Kopa runs over, we have ourselves a little party. I do love my little flailer. It makes me wonder what I was like as a baby…I wonder if I was also a flailer? I hope I wasn’t. I don’t think I would look as cute as Mitch does flailing about, but he is my son, so I am sure I was. The first few weeks with Mitch home and not in mommy’s belly were hard. Not because of the usual reasons, like being dead tired (I had pain killers to get me a good solid 3 hours of sleep between feedings) or not knowing what we were doing (I had read quite a bit on babies, but alas it is much different to do it yourself), what really killed me was the boredom. I had a c-section so I didn’t like to move if I didn’t have too and Mitch was in that *wonderful* sleepy newborn phase (ya know when they wake up to eat then sleep til next time), so I sat my big swollen butt on the couch and…watched HGTV. Constantly. Adam *husband* would come home every night, and I would have plenty of things that now needed to be done to the house…keep in mind we had just bought a new house 6 months prior *a foreclosure* and many things needed to be done like new floors, replace a cabinet, ect, not new paint *seeing as we had just painted the entire house when we moved in*, new curtains, ect. I think I drove him a little batty. I also wasn’t allowed to drive for 10 days and that just helped fuel my HGTV obsession. This went on for a couple months, the TV was constantly on and on HGTV. I am proud to say that I have been HGTV-free for a while now! In fact I don’t watch much TV at all, apart from my weekly shows: Desperate Housewives, House, Private Practice, Scrubs…and sadly we don’t have Tivo or anything of the sort, so my wonderful husband has to suffer…although he did admit to me during a drunken night that he actually likes Private Practice, but don’t tell anyone!
