Trying out the Bumbo seat for the first time... "Man, after stepping up from the pink bouncy seat, I now get a purple one?"
Big sis playing doctor with him.
OK, Oh. My. Gosh. After changing Marek into another outfit due to spit-up, I had him on his changing table and was talking with him, we were smiling at each other and carrying on a conversation, he looked completely precious and happy, and I ruined it. Big time. I was snapping two little snaps up on the shoulder of the outfit, when struggled to snap the one - it wasn't going together easy, and suddenly my sweet, smiling baby screamed and writhed like I have never heard before. He completely stiffened up and cried out so hard I had to shake him to get him to take a breath. This was far worse than the shots he got at his check-up, and I thought that was bad. Dork that I am, I thought, "Geesh, he must have such a bad stomach cramp..." Puzzled, I thought to undo the snap on his shoulder since that's when he cried out, and sure enough, can you believe I managed to SNAP HIS SKIN into the snap?! And it actually closed?! With his skin in it?! I wanted to throw up. It was the worst white mark, surrounded by the worst area of reddened skin. Oh my goodness I cannot even begin to tell you how bad I felt. It hurt him so bad, and it hurt my heart so bad. I cried right along with him muttering my pathetic apologies. You can't tell good in the picture, but there's a tiny dot in the middle of all that redness. And this was after I had finally got him to stop crying. :-(
