This is living. 

Honeybadger had a good lunch today! He was actually eating! 

While in Australia, we took a 3 day trip out to Rye, a small beach town outside of Melbourne. We spent three nights at the most beautiful and awesome bed and breakfast. We all (Gma, Gpa, Mom, Dad) took Honeybadger to the beach for his first time. I took David in the water since no one else was willing to get their clothes wet. Of course I'd get my clothes wet if a baby wanted to! He was so happy!

Check out his clothes progression. :-)

I love his face!! 

Look at that face!

So I never had any time to write in this while I was in Australia. Fail, and now I don't really feel like reminiscing. Is that terrible? I'm just tired of talking about it at this point. What you need to know I guess, is that it was Australia, which means it was awesome.

 David was precious, but also a monster. We gave him way too much freedom while we were there at first because we felt bad that he had to be stuck on an airplane for over 17 hours to get to Alice Springs. So when he didn't want to sit at the dinner table we let him leave and play. When we went out to breakfast and he didn't want to sit at the table, we took turns walking him around outside.

 Well, he picked up on that fast. Every time we ate out (which was almost every meal everyday) he would start kicking and screaming at the table until someone took him outside to play. Eating meals became musical chairs because someone was always getting up to take him outside while someone else ate. I began dreading going out to meals because it was such work. David also stopped eating solid foods while in Australia. He would only have formula. What a set back. I don't even know how that happened.

 So now that we are home, I'm going to be working hard to get him table trained and eating food again. I had to go out of town for a week, so I had my first day back with David after 5 days. They told me he wasn't sleeping through the night anymore, hadn't had any solid food in days, and wasn't napping anymore. What???? So I put him back on his old schedule right away today. He ate a little bit of black beans and avocado for breakfast, and then I put him down for his nap at 9:30. He fell asleep right away, but only sleep for 45 minutes (much shorter than it used to be). I fed him lunch (he did eat it), and took him to Gymboree for 2 hours to get him worked out and nice and stimulated. He ate solid food again. Then I brought him home and gave him a second nap. SUPER successful day. I just hope he sleeps through the night!
