Is It Hot Yet?

Wowza.  I'm such a wuss now.  I think being an August deliverer last summer (partially without central AC) caused me to have a severe aversion to heat!  I can't stand it now!  I put Ryne's little wader pool out this am with water in it so it would warm up for when he wakes up this afternoon from his nap.
He has got two more teeth that finally broke through (hence his being a complete toot recently).  He has become super clingy.  He has also become a big fan of biting me.  Me, I'm not so much a fan of it so I've started pumping a bit more.  I think he is also doing a bit of self weaning as he isn't interested in getting as much milk as previously.  Yesterday he woke up from his nap at Gramma's and I found him crying in his pack and play.  He was crying because he was standing up and holding on to the side and felt "stuck".  Today I got to watch him do that in his crib so I could pick him up.  At the library Monday he finally exhibited frustration when another child offered him a toy then took it back.  He also wants to hold his spoon but only after I get a good amount of food on it.  So, I give him a spoon and then I have a spoon also.  He's doing great on eating and tries what we are eating.  He likes all vegetables and fruits.  We only have fruit at breakfast and then afternoon snack.  He loves, loves, loves books and that makes me sooooo happy!  He responds to "no"...sometimes with a little reinforcement or repeating.  We have started planning his first birthday party and it's stressful with having both of our parents divorced.  My mom and dad have gotten better at getting along and can be in the same place and be fine.  We just have such diversity within our family.  Bleh.  Anyway, can't wait for it!  I need to get a cake figured out!  Geesh, I can't believe my little guy will be a year old!!!
I'm sure I was going to blog more but I can't think of it right now.  I need to get off of here and get some stuff done.  Tomorrow is my big "get stuff done" day!  Here's some pics!  Standing at the dirty front door (from the pups who have since wondered off) and then eating a noodle at lunch with Gramma on Tuesday.  Gramma tried to show him how to slurp it in.  LOL!
