Seat belts

  This is me being a bad mom. It makes me think of the movie "Zombieland," where a scared, wimpy guy survives a zombie apocalypse because he's so cautious. One of his rules is "seat belts."
  I put Turtle in his baby swing beside my chair at the computer. I did not fasten the seat belt. He has always ever been a tiny baby, you know. He isn't one who can move himself places. Obviously, things are changing.
  I didn't hear anything happen, and he's sitting right beside me. But when I looked to my side, instead of being in the swing, he's lying underneath it! He didn't cry, didn't fuss, didn't even bump onto the floor. He was just looking at the swing, amazed by the change in perspective.
  Remember, Mom: Seat belts.

What an amazing little turtle. :) They are so sneaky, aren't they?

I know the horrifying feeling that comes over as a mom... could be worse? I co-slept with all my kids, had a crib, but it mainly ended up as a place to fold laundry and have baby close (him on one side, while I fold laundry on other, and place folded stuff on bed behind me)... but I once fell asleep holding the baby, and he rolled down my arm, to the floor... thank God not hurt, but I learned to stick him between us and NOT in my arms... so I can touch him to make sure he was still breathing, but safe from me rolling over... hahaha

That's a hilarious picture, I can just see the twinkle in his eyes over his new found perspective. Tres cute!
