My work smells like an army of old people are attacking. There is this sickly sweet smell that you cannot hide from. We were just told that we do not need to arm ourselves, the smell is a sewage leak that the ventilation is picking up and circulating throughout the building.
So, yay, I'm not going to be attacked by a walker today but, why the hell is our ventilation system in anyway connected to our sewage system?
In other news, apparently the frat boy weatherman on the morning news where I live does not know what "dry" means. In my world "dry" weather means no rain, snow, sleet or hail. Basically the lack of things falling from the sky.
It has rained each of the last three "dry" days.
For shame frat boy weatherman, for shame.

Six Months
Nate turned six months old last week. I cannot believe this little guy has been around for half a year already! We took him in for his six month check up yesterday and he's doing great
Weight: 17 lbs 9 oz, 55th percentile
Length: 28 inches, 91st percentile
Head: 17.5 inches, 65th percentile
I went in to the appointment expecting the doctor be extremely concerned about the fact that Nate still isn't rolling in either direction but she barely batted an eye. He's now able to sit up unsupported, he babbles constantly, and he's finally cut his second tooth. We still swaddle for naps and at night (at Nate's insistence) so not having the freedom to roll around his crib is probably contributing to the delay.
His sixth month is set to be a busy one. Easter and his cousin's birthday are next weekend, we've got to take him down to get his six month pictures, plan a trip to visit Grandma and still find time for some snuggles. And once we get through all that summer will be here and we have to introduce him to the beach, the zoo and farmers markets.
I can't wait!

Germ Farm
Just when you think it's over..
Apparently Nate doesn't go to daycare, he goes to a germ farm. And every day he brings home these little bugs that are actively trying to kill me.
I have strep throat, a sinus infection and an ear infection. Yay me!
When I set out to chronicle motherhood I thought I'd be telling you about Nate's first tooth. His first word. His first step. Nope, I can't even manage to get a current picture of him. The kid is six months old! Can you believe it! He also has a tooth! About two weeks ago he took my hand, put it into his mouth and there was this sharp thing in there. Jason came and took a look and sure enough, little man had his first little tooth. The second bottom tooth has been struggling to break through. We can see it, but it can't see us. Unfortunately this has let to what medically is called "fussy-butt".
I really hope this ends soon. I really miss my happy little guy. The baby he has been replaced with is just as adorable and gives the best snuggles, but he also is just the worlds un-happiest baby. Though to be perfectly honest I know we're getting off pretty easy. A fussy Nate is still not overly fussy. He distracts easily and loves gnawing on frozen bananas.
I guess this is all part of a bigger lesson though. Shit happens and you just have to roll with it. I have my beloved anti-biotic and I'm sure once I'm done with those I'll just some other bug. Nate will continue to do amazing things like grow teeth and say "ah-BA!" and buzz his lips. The world will keep moving.
Even if I do feel like poop.
