Aaron loves everyone and everything but there are two emerging favorites in his life: ME and his hands.
He is a tumbsucker (my first and only baby to prefer it to a pacifier) and it’s not only a sign that he’s hungry but he calms himself down by eating his hand. Aaron LOVES his hands and thumb. We find him asleep like this all the time.
Aaron also LOVES his mama. We’re together almost every moment of every day. It seems like we could (and do) sit and just stare at each other for hours and hours. If it were any other kind of relationship I am sure that restraining orders and offers from Lifetime Television would be involved.
While Aaron loves and adores that big bearded guy that comes and makes funny faces at him known as Dad, he has an UNCANNY knack for interrupting the very little, um, “ALONE TIME” his father and I get.
Most times if there is any amount of “Bong-chicka-chicka-bong-bong” going on in marital bed, we hear from the little butterbean:
“WAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Which I am really beginning to suspect is translation for, “DUDE, STOP TOUCHING MY MOM! SHE IS MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE AND YOU CAN’T HAVE HER , SO PPPFFFFTTTHH!!! WHAT?! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH ME?! LET’S STEP OUT IN THE ALLYWAY AND RUMBLE, YO! I CAN TOTALLY TAKE YOU.”
This morning was no exception.
After waiting and waiting and WAITING to see if he would stop and calm down I gave my husband an apologetic look and said, “Ancient female secret: Babies trump penises. Sorry, dude.”
(And in truth, I have been feeling in the ‘road kill’ category due to some medical stuff I have going on, so Jonathan cares much more then I do about this, though I feel really bad for the guy and do my best.)
Aaron was wet, messy and covered in drool. He drools all the time. We’ve taken to calling him, “Slimy”. He was also spouting the biggest triumphant grin of, ‘Ha, ha! I TOTALLY WON!!!” and swear he flashed a “loser” sign at Jonathan as that thumb made his way into his mouth.
I got him out of his wet things and then Jonathan grabbed two towels and scooped him up.
“Let’s go have a shower, son. And while we’re in there you and I are going to have a little discussion about you being a TOTAL COCKBLOCKER.”

That is the cutest little cockblock I’ve ever seen!
I fear that Jon will turn that into a nickname. Poor kid. Slimy is bad enough. :)
That is so funny, and you’re hubby sounds like a good sport. :) And? My little third baby is my first thumbsucker, too. I am smitten. :)
Glad to have ‘met’ you on Twitter finally.
You, as well!
Both of those pictures are cute enough to kill ANY penis action. I’m not having sex with my own husband now because of them.
LOL! I am going to start getting letters of complaint from men on the blogosphere, huh?
*squee!* He’s so cute! And? I can totally relate to the coitus interuptus. Yup. We’ve got it here too. Kairi has started saying “Momma” when she whines… So I will leave her watching Nemo in her bouncy to go get a quicky and right as we get down to brass tacks I hear a squeal from the other room, followed by “Meeeeehhhhhhmaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!” I love my baby, and I love that she says my name now, but I absolutely CANNOT ignore those cries when they are speaking my name… LOL. Not that I could before, but especially not now.
Speaking of… I guess it’s time for snuggles. Later!
I dig every second I’m with him.
I could eat him up I love him so. :)
Mom used to tie a pork chop around my neck, so the dogs would play with me long enough that she and dad could get the deed done.
My psychiatrist now has a really, really nice boat.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!
I’m laughing my ass off. I swear it’s a gift babies have for a while. Love your response to J.
I thankfully have paci babies, but that is the cutest thumb sucker pic ever.
I have always adored the pacifier action from my babies and really thought I would miss it but this hand munching thing is so freaking adorable I love it.
I fear about breaking the habit when he’s older but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Yep. We used to call it “sibling radar.” To prevent one so that they will always be the baby. It’s amazingly accurate.
I know! And we have at least a year before thinking about it!
Our babe is not even born yet but is giving us grief. Morning sickness = excessive vomiting ? sexiness. But I’m not complaining or anything :-)
Oh my goodness, I so feel yo on the morning sickness! It’s horrendous for me right now too….I feel s o bad for the hubby but luckily he’s understanding. And, we have a 2yo daughter, been there with a baby too. Especially since at first she slept in our room, we changed that REAL fast…lol… Im the one that could keep going, hubby couldn’t stand to hear her cry. I’m sure it will be the same with this one on the way.
Congrats on thumb. My daughter wouldn’t use a paci or her thumb, and she has colic really bad. Holding was the ONLY cure.
You little one Loralee, is so so darn adorable!
UGH, my condolences on the colic. I have had some seriously fussy babies. Aaron is by far the easiest infant we’ve had.
OMG! YAY! You’re expecting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seriously, seriously sorry about the morning sickness. It is harsh man. I hope it goes away for you SOON!
CONGRATS!
You two will be the best parents ever!
OOOPS! I am still getting the hang of this cool “reply” feature, so my squees of YAY are down below!! :)
He is seriously adorable. And when are you going to let me have him again? And by have him I mean babysit his cute squishy baby body.
I know. I need to get to Salt Lake again soon!
Ha!
Thanks, this totally made my day!
Woot. Rimarama seal of approval! (I have arrived!)
LOL My boys are the same way. My DH says they are just determined not to ever have any more siblings!! That thumb sucking is seriously adorable.
Awwww. He’s a cutie. But after three of those boob suckin’ cockblockers, i went and had a vasectomy. Hah! Take THAT, Mother Nature. Try to stop me NOW!!!
I love the way you get back at nature, Lou. hehehe
Man he is a cutie! Also – my kids still can smell out those alone times!
They.have.radar.
Oh how I understand this. I have always thought it was the baby’s way of saying, NO WAY MAN!! I’m the baby, there will be no other babies in this house.
Happens here all.the.freaking.time. Gotta love it.
I know.
P.S. I HAVE SNOBALLS IN MY PURSE!!!!!!!!!!! MMMM!!!!!!!!
With T in the bassinet right beside our bed..I fear her beady little eyes watching us.
And yeah..how can you do the nasty with that cute thing around!
YOU CANNOT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. :)
He’s so adorable! Baby cravings ……!
I KNOW. I am having flipping baby cravings and he’s only 5 months old!
Excuse me while I snack on those cheekers!! nomnomnom
They do have some sort of cockblock radar built in. The triplets are always restless when they know we want some alone time. As soon as I hear their whimpers it’s hard for me to get back into the groove.
Must invest in some ear plugs.
nomnomnomzerrrrbertnomnomnom
He is the roundest most munchiest, loviest, YUMMIEST NOM NOM NOM NOM!
BAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Actually, I think the thing is that he LOVES being the youngest and therefore doesn’t want a little sister.
baby = cockblocker … that is just too funny.
It’s true. Cockblocker is a term I was unfamiliar with. Apparently it’s highly used by the male species. :)
I’m so glad we’re done because his cuteness would make my ovaries explode….then I’d have another freaking fall baby and birthday season would be extended to September and last through December. And it would be all your fault.
Wow. He is such a beautiful little boy. And the hands, oh the sheer cuteness of the hands!
Lordy how I love that boy of yours.
Seriously too cute for words.
Babies are definitely cockblockers by nature. Peanut has interrupted naked time plenty of times. It’s like she knows that’s what we’re doing so she decides to wake up. Uncool.
LMFAO!
Luckily, Nolan isn’t ALWAYS a cockblock ;)
Stopping by to see how all is going with you and yours, and what do I find? You’ve moved on from talking about your tatas to cockblocking? Love it!
Smooches to y’all from California.
I chuckled when I read this…it reminds me so much of Teague.
When Teague got a little older (like 1) until he was about 5, Aaron would grab me and hug me and look at Teague and say “My Momma!” Teague would just start screaming.
I love having a Momma’s boy.
Yep, radar, definitely rader. My husband and I always joke that we have no idea how our firstborn ended up being an older brother, it was truly a miracle!
It’s like they have a sixth sense. My little girl is the same way. She’s totally a Mama’s girl and there is no other person that will do. Daddy? He’s a chump. Mama is where it’s at. And god forbid she catches him ogling the milk pillows. GOD.FORBID.
