Something Moore

Last weekend Pierce discovered his voice.  Ever since then he has spent a great deal of time making his little noises and cracking himself up.  Of course Clay and I find this absolutely adorable, that is until I go to nurse him and all he wants to do is talk.  Then he becomes frustrated when he can't talk and eat at the same time.  I've tried to explain to him that the rule "no talking with your mouth full" will apply for the rest of his life.  So far it hasn't sunk in.

He was being exceptionally cute the other day so I took a couple of videos.  (I'm sure only grandparents will be interested in watching both versions of baby babbles!)









 
When Clay's sister came to visit Clay's dad sent cash down for Ally to buy Pierce a gift.  He was very specific that he wanted to buy a gift for Pierce and not just put it in college savings.  So Ally and I went shopping and bought a baby activity chair.  Lately Pierce has been trying to stand up so last weekend I told Clay we should assemble the chair because he might be ready for it.  When we put him in the chair Pierce sunk up to his eyes and his toes dangled above the floor.  Definitely too small!


However, Pierce still seemed to enjoy the chair so the other night we put a tool box under his toes so he could reach and he had a blast!





As you can see Pierce really likes the lights.  He also likes to look at himself in the mirror.  And no longer is he happy being cuddled, but this boy wants to stand!






He is also enjoying time playing with the jungle gym toy.



And finally a note about children's clothes.  Or more specifically little boy's clothes.  Do these pajamas make any sense to you?!?





That's right, it's a monkey and a dinosaur.  I'm not totally up on my different eras but I'm pretty sure that the modern era animals did not exist with prehistoric era animals.  Clay and I are convinced that the children's clothing manufactures just have bins of random cute creatures and they just grab a random selection and sew it on any old outfit. 

Since I've been back to work life seems to have sped up and I got behind on a post I meant to put together a couple of weeks ago.  Clay's sister, Ally and husband Rick came to visit Pierce at the end of August (again, we have no delusions that anyone comes to visit Clay and I anymore!).  It was a ton of fun.  Originally Ally and Rick thought they would bring down their three boys, but in the end just the two of them came and we had some great times hanging out and loving on a baby.

Our big activity while they were here was a round of golf.  We dropped of Pierce at daycare and went to play 9 holes.  At first I had some guilt about leaving Pierce at daycare when I'm not at work and should be taking care of my baby.  But I also realize that I needed some fun times for me and it was only a couple of hours.  We had a lot of fun.  It was Ally's first time to golf EVER! so we played best ball between her and I and had a pretty good round.


And a cute baby video!
