this is life

Month Eight

Dear Cole,
Did you blink? Because I think I did and a whole month disappeared! So MUCH has happened in the last month, I don't know where to begin. You now have 4 teeth, FOUR, you started sitting all on your own, you can crawl just about anywhere you want to get to, you THINK you can walk! I can't believe how much you have learned in the last month, it blows my mind to think about everything you can now do. Baby-proofing is at the top of our list, as you seem to have realized you can GET AROUND!
There have been so many changes these last few weeks, I just can't seem to think of them to get them in this post. So I will suffice to say: Keep on Going Little Man! You're gonna be a handful and I can't wait to chase you around!

Love Momma

A Week Of...

Mundane! This week I am trying something new in my house. Something I used to do when I was a babysitter for my mother, something that used to make the days go faster and seem more routine. Because the days around here seem to disappear before they have begun and nothing is getting done, I'm shutting off the TV, I'm making lists and I'm stuck at home (sort of).
It seems my house is always in disarray, the laundry is ever growing, and we never eat dinner at a reasonable hour. So starting this week the chores are getting done and less is going to pile up. I'm whipping this place into shape, so I can start to create and have some fun. On the list today. Do a complete "tidy" and focus on Cole's bedroom, I don't think I've dusted in there since he came home from the hospital.
Supper won't be on the table tonight because I have book club and my homework is DONE (well the main part of it is...) If I'm lucky my man will be home in time to look after our boy and I'll have a night off... On the other hand if he's not home I'll be taking my boy with me and we'll still have fun! Let's see what the rest of this day brings and I think I see tomorrow on the horizon already!

9 the magic number

for last night anyway... Thank you Cole, for the 9 hours last night. What a treat. I know this isn't forever and it may have only been for last night, but I tell you this, your momma is so much more patient when you give her a good night's sleep. I did almost get out of bed at 5:30 when I still didn't hear you, but in my heart I knew you needed that sleep as much as I did.

Kaftan

This sunscreen alternative was so cute I HAD to have one for Cole. It just came in the mail yesterday so we haven't had a chance to wear it outside but it is so CUTE! We love it. I found it while browsing Emily Embers blog. When I went to the Lillies of the Valley site I was so excited to find out it was a Canadian company. They were so quick with my order, I can't wait for the sun to come back out so we can go ANYWHERE and try it out! Thank you so much Lillies of the Valley! and Emily for posting about this great little find! 

Teeth

Sweet Cole, please get your teeth quickly so we may get some sleep in the night.
