This just in...
"Entertainment Tonight" is SO groundbreaking and full of in-depth journalism with their upcoming story about size 2 models putting on fat suits and being mocked in public. Oh, the outrage! People in fat suits everywhere will unite and crush their foes! I'm so happy that the spotlight is finally focused on the plight of people in fat suits.
In the meantime...
Amos rolled over last night! This time, he finally rolled from back to front. I knew this would be the last thing he wanted to do because he completely abhors tummy time. Ah, but we are tricky parents who are smarter than a fifth grader (or a four-month-old). We put him into his crib and noticed the way he reaches for the toys on his crib mirror. I scooted him so that the toys were a bit out of reach. Amos lifted his hand and stretched as far as his chubby little baby arm could reach, but alas, no purple rattling bird for him.
We could see the concentration on his face and how reluctant he was to roll toward his belly. Ah, but the purple bird is too much to resist. It taunted him as it rattled its purpleness. Why would a bird sound like a rattle, is the question I'd like answered. I'm not sure this is teaching Amos the harsh realities of life. Anyhoo, after many tries, Phil and I were witness to Amos' first flip from back to front. What a great moment in our parental lives!
I turned to Phil and said, "Can you imagine being a dad who doesn't care about witnessing your boy becoming a person?"
Phil looked tenderly at Amos and said quite sincerely, "No. I can't."
So, while skinny people in fat suits are suffering injustices, my boy is learning to move. Soon enough, he will begin crawling. I type this as he is sleeping nestled into my body. Don't grow up too fast, Amos. The world can wait.

Can you roll over in a fat suit?

Rolling over YAY!!! I bet it doesn't take him long to realise that he can get from point A to B by rolling over and over.
Clever man.
And size 2 models? Pffft we should mock them for their lack of actual bodyparts. It can't be healthy.
The sad thing is that the "fat suit" is probably a size 14 which is the most common size of women in America. Boo to the size 2 woman that can't enjoy a good piece of pie or sausage gravy and biscuits.
I remember what a HUGE milestone it was, that first roll. Everybody clapping, whooting, like they'd won the marathon.
Enjoy. They do grow way too quickly!
Yes, the Amos rollover event was very exciting. He's also perfecting a sort of reverse caterpillar flop/crawl that he's using to move himself around on his back. He'll be getting himself around the house on his own any day now.
And, thanks to a goodly amount of leftover candy, his dad's developing a new fat suit.
Veronica - Thank ya! I'm looking to while simultaneously dreading his newfound and future freedoms.
You are far too entertaining for your young years, m'lady. Haha.
Kim and/or Todd - Haha. I could go for a good slathering of sausage, gravy and biscuits right about now. I think the suit is going to size 22 (tune in Wednesday to watch! grumble grumble). The models were previewed as crying over their poor, poor treatment in public. Oh, the tears I shed for them.
Karen Meg - Thanks! It DID feel like a big moment, watching him perfect his addiction to purple birds. Soon, I will find him inside the kitchen cabinets with Celestial Seasonings teas all over his head. Ah, babies.
"Phat" Phil - You make me laugh and laugh. That is but one of many reasons I love you. And, your fat suit isn't nearly as annoying.
Those girls? Were wearing ME.
I AM a fat suit.
CONGRATULATIONS, Amos! We are all so proud of you over here at The Carroll Home.
Braden says: "Your days of being controlled by The Parental Units are coming to an end. With movement comes great power. Wield it well, my fellow Revolutionary!"
Don't worry. I spanked him and put him in the closet for it.
I hope you used that fat suit power of yours to push that boy right into the closet where he belongs.
Hahaha. Fat suit. As if. You are the sexy. Very nice. Do not fear me, gypsy.
Sorry. I've been watching too much Borat.
My fat suit doesn't fit me anymore, should I be worried?
rolling over is great aint it just !!, darcy does the aeroplane, legs and arms outstretched on her stomach !!
I never got the fat suit experiment. The size 2's can always just take off the fat suit after their "fat experience" Reminds me of that Shatner remake of Common People with Ben Folds.
I too wish I could slow down the growing up process of both Jack and Adam. Honestly, every day their doing new things, saying new words, thinking new thoughts and for me, being at work more than I am with them, it kills me a little each day.
You know what? The fat suits can make themselves today. I'm calling in sick. I'm not sure how a fat suit can make itself but I'm sure they'll figure it out.
Lurking, reading and laughing.
Such a great post! I love that little Amos. See ya.
I love how you respond to all of your comments.
To stephen: HA!
Stephen - I'm not sure where you can go for "fat suit adjustments" in Wales. Perhaps you should be an entrepreneur and start this up.
Gareth - Yay for Darcy! I had no idea how exciting it is to see someone roll over until I witnessed Amos do it. Now I'm going to ask everyone I know to roll over.
Bill - Anything with Shatner is odd but good. The fat suit phenomenon is a cheap replacement for Jerry Springer since he went off the air, it seems.
Yay for calling in sick! For some reason, I think it would be relatively entertaining to work in a fat suit factory.
Anon - You may lurk, m'lady. It's nice to chat with you again! I've missed you sorely.
Kellan - Yay! I'm glad that Amos has fans. I won't tell him too much about it, though, lest he gets a big head about his stardom.
Sarah Marie - Thank ya! I miss the convenience of replying directly below a comment in Myspace. If Blogger added that feature, I would hump it.
Comments are the best things about my blogs.
Awww - rolling. That's exciting. :-)
Kimberly - Strangely enough, it's just about the most exciting thing I've seen this month. Haha.
