Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. Head on over to her blog to see what everyone else has not been doing!

Today, we definitely did not take Lyndon to the doctor just because Adrian was not satisfied with the questions I asked her last time about a rash he had. We are definitely not that paranoid. And there is no way that said rash cleared up completely in the last few days, making today's appointment completely unnecessary. There's also no way we took him anyway.

And while we were there, we most definitely did not bombard the doctor with questions about Lyndon's recent sleep problems. We are definitely not that sleep-deprived. We also are not freaking out about this, dosing our child up with every infant medication we own, trying every tactic in the book to get our previously great sleeping almost 5 month-old to just go back to sleep. We were not desperate when we arrived at the doctor's office this morning. Nope. Not us. We are competent parents who always know what's going on. And the diagnosis? It most certainly wasn't . . .

teething. That's it. The end. Do your best, and see you in a month for his next check-up!

What about you? Anything embarrassing that you most certainly did not do this week?

Growing Up

Earlier today, I put Lyndon down on his back on his activity mat in the living room. I then headed to the kitchen to grab some lunch and returned about 2 minutes later. This is what I found:

Now, our little guy has rolled over a few times before, but it's taken significantly longer than 2 minutes and has only happened when he's angry. Eventually, he arches his back so far and kicks his legs so hard that he just flips himself.

The fact is, he can now do it effortlessly in a minute or two.

Oh, and soon after I sat down with my lunch, he found his pacifier on the mat and nonchalantly popped it into his mouth. I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
