Not Mr. Munch's Day

Today's post is early because tonight is not about Mr. Munch. I normally try to wait until afternoon/evening to post in case anything interesting happens to Mr. Munch, but tonight I need a break. Tonight is date night for Mama and Daddy Munch while Mr. Munch is at Grandma and Grandpa's house.
This morning Mr. Munch had a much needed bath and he enjoyed it immensely!

It feels weird moving in water.

Artsy shot by Daddy.

He was not expecting water on the head!

Cute little ducky towel!

Retrospection

Today was a fairly dull day. Mama and Mr. Munch went on a short walk around the neighborhood, but it was hot and very sunny, so it didn't last long. Otherwise the day has been spent around the house. Pretty boring, so I figured we'd look at some old pictures as well as new pictures.

When a Daddy Munch and

a Mommy Munch love each other very much...

They get a Mr. Munch!!!

And that is pretty cool.

Not feeling clever enough to come up with a title...

Today Mr. Munch and Mama went over to Grandma's house. Mr. Munch hung out with Grandma and Uncle M. while Mama and Uncle J. took a field trip downtown.

Cuddle time!

Awesome hat!

We're a Red Sox family. We start them young.

After Grandma's, Mama and Munch went to the mall. We met Daddy there and walked around. We said hello to some of our mall friends and we visited the book store. Once we got home Mr. Munch got cranky, but after a nice bottle and some cuddle time with Mama, Mr. Munch fell right asleep.

Cranky Day

Today Mr. Munch decided that a nap was not an essential part of his day. This led to great frustration on Mama's part. By the time Mr. Munch finally wore himself out and fell asleep, it was late in the afternoon so his bedtime will be pushed back and Mama's not so sure how she feels about this. The little man is asleep, however, so I guess it doesn't matter. (Please excuse the blurry pictures. The camera wasn't cooperating today.)

How can someone in such an adorable polka dot onsie be so cranky?

Finally starting to fall asleep.

Tomorrow Mr. Munch gets to hang out at Grandma's house while Mama hangs out with Uncle J. Hopefully he won't be so cranky!

Age is Funny

Age is a funny thing when you're this little. Depending on who you ask, Mr. Munch is either 2 months old as of yesterday or 9 weeks old as of tomorrow. If you ask Mr. Munch...well, he doesn't really care.

Mr. Munch is just interested in chatting with Tigger today. Deep, philosophical thoughts about the positioning of the ceiling tiles.

This afternoon Mama and Mr. Munch were visited by Great-Grandma, Great-Grandpa, and Mama's cousin. He was given a sweater from some of his great-grandparents' friends that he'll show off this winter when he grows into it.

The sun is bright, but Great-Grandma is a new face to look at!

Lazy Sunday

You know those days where you just feel like sitting around doing nothing? Mr. Munch has been having one of those days. He has spent his day sitting in his Bumbo and laying on the floor, happy as can be. Talking away at nothing in particular and smiling at everything, it has been an easy day for Mama. Even when he was upset, Mr. Munch didn't put much effort into crying. I was afraid that the day would make for some boring pictures, but I managed to eke a few good ones out.

Chatty Mr. Munch thinks it's funny that when he makes a noise, Mama makes a noise back.

It looks like a smile, but it's actually a coo. Still adorable!

He was thinking about being fussy...then turned it into a sigh and went about his business checking out the ceiling.

It's been a lazy day. Mr. Munch and Mama have some chill tummy time.

Even after Daddy got home from work (which usually gets Mr. Munch pretty excited), there were just little smiles and lots of talking. But you won't hear any complaining here!

Day of New Things

As promised, Mr. Munch is wearing his new clothes today! Well, one of them. The other one isn't quite so cute, so it's just in the picture.

Blue pajama t-shirt and a red dino onsie!

While Mr. Munch was hanging out and Mama was preparing for the premiere of the next chunk of Doctor Who (by cleaning since the premiere viewing is at our house), we got a call from Daddy saying that he was coming home from work because he wasn't feeling well. 

Mr. Munch was concerned.

Thankfully Daddy isn't too sick. He's taking it easy, so hopefully we can all still have a fun night.

Better Late Than Never

Today was errand day! The Munch Family spent a very busy afternoon running around town. We started out visiting friends at the mall where Daddy works. The power was out in the mall for reasons unknown, so the employees had a lot of time to stand around and hang out with us.

Having some chill time with David!

After the mall we visited Daddy's other job (yay payday!), the bank, and a few stores. Mr. Munch enjoyed his stroller time and a little walk time with Mama. He did not, however, enjoy his car seat time.

The sunlight on the green canopy of Mr. Munch's stroller looks very cool!

After all of that shopping, the Munch family was hungry. Mr. Munch had a bottle in the parking lot of a store (screaming wins, hands down), then we headed out to see friends at Mr. Burger.

Pop does not interest Mr. Munch, but we had to prove he was there.

After all of our running around, Mr. Munch was quickly becoming a cranky little dude. He was very kind and waited until we were putting him in the car after dinner to have a meltdown. Once we got home, Mr. Munch was given to Daddy while Mama got his pajamas and bedtime bottle ready. He didn't quit make it to bedtime...

Daddy is a comfy bed!

He woke up when Mama was putting on his pajamas, but his power nap helped his cranky level and he was a content Munch until the last drop of his bottle. He fussed a little, but then he burped and fell asleep the minute his head hit the bed. Tomorrow he will show off the clothes Mama bought for him while we were out!

Chillaxin'

Today was Munch Daddy's day off, so we spent the day...doing nothing. After a night where Mr. Munch woke often, we all ended up sleeping in for a little bit. Daddy played video games, Mama read her book, and Munch...well after a nice meal and some play time he was sitting in his Bumbo watching Daddy's game when

He decided to take another nap.

Road trip!!

So yesterday's surprise was a trip to Frederik Meijer Gardens! After Munch Daddy got out of work, we packed up the car for an excursion to the gardens. Ok, so it wasn't a road trip or a big excursion, but for being the first family outing to someplace that wasn't the doctor's or grandma's it sure felt like a big deal!

Such a big horse! Such a small Munch!

Checking out the fountain in the Victorian garden. 

The tropical garden was beautiful, but a little bright for a drooly Mr. Munch.

We had so much fun walking around the Children's Garden, dipping little toes into the Great Lakes water table, seeing all of the different indoor gardens, and getting some fresh air and sunshine! Munch Daddy was super excited to wear Mr. Munch in the Moby and even impressed a mom in the parking lot by doing so. While we hope to visit more often, we have a goal to get a picture of Mr. Munch under the giant horse every year to show how much he's growing. 

Today has been uneventful and picture free. Mama tried to capture a good smiling one and would have, but the memory on her phone was full and the moment was gone. Guess emptying that will be my goal for the day!
