Binkie Man, Binkie Man
“Beanie,” I said. “Do you really need that binkie?”
“What binkie? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You know what I’m talking about, Beanie,” I said. “I think you can live without the binkie for a while.”
“Wait!” he said. “Wait! Just five more minutes, Mom!”
“Mom!! WAIT!! Not yet!! I need my binkie!!”
“Beanie,” I said. “I think you’ll be fine without it. You’re a big dude. You can hang out without the binkie for a while. And you know I’ll give it back to you when its time to go to sleep tonight.”
“Ohhhh…. I don’t know, Mom….” Beanie said.
“Well, how about this,” I said. “You go without your binkie for a while and I’ll let you snooze in my bed for a little while this afternoon.”
“Hmm….” said Beanie. “Your bed is awfully soft and fluffy.”
“Alright, Mom. Its a deal.”
“Deal,” I said.
“ZZZzzzzz….”

In one week my hubby and I have our BIG ultrasound (you know, the one where they get to see the goods?). Anyway, I am SURE I am having another girl and totally psyched. But then, I started thinking, what if it’s not a girl? What if it’s a (gulp) BOY??? Well, those pics of Beanie and his binkie are so adorable I just starting thinking, you know, a boy wouldn’t be so bad . . .

That hair! I am fixated on his hair. I love it and am totally jealous. Promise that you will never cut it.

I love his outfit. He’s got the grownup hoodie, the grownup jeans, and the binkie lanyard that’s like the equivalent of a wallet chain. haha. He’s the coolest baby on the block.
allyson

I’m a self-admitted lurker, but just had to comment today. Your conversations with Bean are my favorite part of your blog. The dialogue you come up with is just pretty darn hilarious, and you remind me of the mom I want to be in a year or two when the hubs and I start trying.
Keep it up!
Oh, and I’m pretty sure that the Bean is LITERALLY the cutest little kid I’ve ever seen. Literally. 🙂
Zoe
Oooh… that is just too cute for words
naomi
oh my goodness, these are the cutest pictures of the Bean yet!

It’s a good thing parents never get tired of hearing how cute/adorable/precious our children are! Beanie is a little heart breaker! My heart just melted looking at these pictures. He’s a doll! I love his expressions and his hair….ALL OF HIS HAIR! 🙂

ok be honest thats an old pic of the bean napping isn’t it? he looks so tiny.
babies in sweatshirts are so cute, too bad we never have the weather for it in south florida! ugh, though i have been able to tell the weather is cooling off a bit here, i’m hoping for another ‘cold’ winter here
Katie
It is!!! I didn’t know if anyone would notice. I found it in the Photo Booth when I was playing last night. Isn’t it sweet??? Makes me want to jump in there with him!! 🙂

How cute is he in that little sweatshirt!!? I LOVE it!
So anyway I’m out to dinner last night with my Mom and we’re talking blogs…mainly if I should start one or not–but then she says:
Mom: You know who’s blog is hilarious? It’s on the side bar of Jordan’s* blog-the one with Beanie–he has a real name–but they don’t call him by it.”
Me: MOM I’m the one who FOUND her and told Jordan and all my friend about her blog.
Mom: Oh, well I really like it!
Just saying this is huge because my Mom was a journalism major and is a professional editor!
*my sister–http://www.jordansometimes.blogspot.com/
Jordan
oh, so mom DOES read my blog?? Because she totally pretends like she doesn’t!
Katie
#1: Thanks for sharing the MC love to all your friends.
#2: So glad your mom likes the blog and if she’d like to give me a multi-million dollar book deal, I’d be down with that.
#3: You and Jordan are sisters?!?!? Not that I know either of you, but you both comment all the time and I had no idea you were related! How funny!

If Bean is like Henry, he will quickly discover his thumb. Watch out- that’s what happened with us and now he spits out his pacy and replaces it with the thumb. It’s cute (but not when he’s 5, right?). BTW- here is Henry with his first bite of food- thought you would enjoy it! Henry is lacking in the hair department but reminds me of Bean in so many ways (the expressions mainly). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHn7MFeyfI ENJOY! 🙂 Michelle (Ginny’s former colleague)

He does look like a big guy in that sweatshirt. I saw someone figured out he was very little in the bed picture, hehehehe. I love it how you can do things like that!!
Ashley
OMGoodness! That hoodie is the absolute cutest thing I have ever seen! How do you stand yourself? Haha He’s precious!
