Things I Want to Remember


Binners is 7 months old, and man—we are loving this kid hard. B and I are constantly in awe that he is OUR kid. He's such an easy baby and makes this parenthood thing pure joy. We love our Binner Booty Butt to the moon! 

Here's some of my favorite things about our boy right now: 

1. He loves to sleep. In everything I've read about sleep, there seems to be an underlying theme of "don't let the baby get overtired!" and "don't let them sleep too much during the day!" But it seems no matter the situation—how long we've accidentally kept him awake, or the hours and hours he'll spend napping during the day—he'll still go to sleep easy at night and sleep till morning. He's a Sanford though and through. 

2. He loves the song "Sorry Enough" by Chris Brown. He rarely gets fussy in the car, but when he does, we'll whip out that song and it makes him totally calm. It's bizarre. 

3. He's content doing anything. He can entertain himself for hours and it's making working from home a real breeze. 

4. He scrunches his nose and breathes loud when he gets excited. I have one thousand videos of him doing it on my phone because it's so cute and I never want to forget it.

5. He inchworms his way around the house and I feel like he's going to crawl any second!

6. He spits up 10000% times less than he used to and laundry-hater in me is so happy.

7. He is NOT a cuddler (which we're sad about) but we'll sneak him out of his crib in the middle of the night and he'll fall right back asleep on us. It's how we have to get our cuddle-fix in with this kid who is moving and grooving all over the place unless he's dead asleep.

8. He has the biggest eyes and longest lashes and I hope he keeps them forever. 

9. He is constantly called a girl. hahaha I swear I dress him like a boy, but I think it's just those big eyes and sweet face. Who knows. But idk, people are dumb sometimes. 

10. The word "sweet" encompasses his personality perfectly. He's just a happy, content, smiley, chill boy and he is loved by so many. I love being this angel baby's mom! He was so worth the wait (times one million bajillion!)
