Happy Birthday Daddy!
This is a busy birthday month in the Binns household. We had Sophie’s 7 month birthday on the 3rd, Daddy’s 29th birthday on the 4, and Mommy’s 32nd birthday is coming up on the 20th! Well, we planned to go to the museum today but good ole NY state tax ppl foiled those plans. Mommy had to inform them that she hasn’t been living in NY since 2005 and collecting sales tax without reporting it. What a headache! As I am writing this it just sounds so crazy that we haven’t lived in NYC since 2005! Anyway, we still managed to have a fun day at home, and we’re doing “Daddy’s bday take 2” next Tuesday so we’ll make up for it then. We made daddy brownies and a card, lit a fire, watched some Arkansas football, and drank some beer…not you of course. All in all, we still had a fun day and daddy lucked out because he gets to have his bday all over again next week…take that NY state tax ppl!! Happy birthday to you my soul mate. You are truly the most incredible person I have ever met. You are perfectly imperfect. I love you and all your whackadilly quirks. Sophie is the luckiest girl on earth to have you as her daddy. I am so proud of you and grateful that I get to spend every single day with you. You make our world go round. Like a record baby- right round- round round. Looove you!!
Igg’s first puzzle
Unfortunately the “I” was later eaten by that little white fuzzy hell bucket in the photo below. Her puzzle now says SOPHE. Oh well, I’m sure this is the first of many toys to be chewed, stolen, or destroyed by her furry brother or sister. She’ll get them back with some good ole ear and tail pulling for the next few years.
Iggy turns 7 months old!
Seriously- this is redic! 7 months! Happy Birthday little igghead! I put your sticker on today so you could celebrate all day and take your 7 month photo, but it seems you had a different plan. You are so aware and curious now that as soon as I stuck the sticker on your belly you became fascinated and determined to pull it off and figure out what it was. I tried to hide it under a hoody for the afternoon but you are too smart for that. Needless to say we only have 1/2 of your sticker left and the top that it was stuck to is now in the garbage because the sticker was so wet and mangled it wouldn’t come off- lol. You are such a little busy body! I managed to sneak in a pic before the sad sticker tragedy so we’re all set.
On another note little nugget, you had your daddy on the edge of a meltdown today and it was one of the saddest things I’ve seen yet (though while it was happening I knew it was a bit humorous too). Your daddy had let his beard and hair get…hmm…what’s the best way to describe it…oh I know…untamed. Anyway, he went in the bathroom while you and I played, and shaved off his hair and beard. When he came out looking for you and calling out your name, you took one look at him and screamed bloody murder. You were so upset and scared that you started kicking your legs whenever he came close to you. This lasted on and off for 2 hours!! 2 hours you had him trying everything and anything just to get you to not cry when he looked your way. He put a hat on, took out your daddy book to show you pictures of him, ate dinner looking down so he didnt scare you, tried to play in your nursery with you, sang songs, put you on his shoulders, you name it – he did it. Finally around bath time you realized that no one stole your daddy and he just looked a little different- THANK THE LORD! It was a sad, sad sight. You may be the only one to get him to shave on a regular basis so i guess a thank you is in order. Well played my little daughter.
Other than the “not my daddy” meltdown- we had a fantastic day! You are talking all the time, eating like a champ, rolling like crazy, sitting up on your own, and guess what- you slept 6 hours straight on your 7 month bday! I dont know if you’re turning over a new leaf or if having a leg shaking, not my daddy, meltdown fit is exhausting…my guess is the latter, but either way, I’ll take it! Happy 7 month to the most amazing daughter on the planet! Mommy and your new clean shaven daddy loooove you!
