The feet. The beautiful, cute, kissable feet.
And the eyes. The eyes that speak right to my soul.
Too sleepy for any more words tonight. Happy Monday.
There’s something about these shots that makes my heart skip.
I’ve been trying to snap a photo of Nathaniel’s tiny tooth for weeks. And here we finally are. How cute is that?
And look at my other son. He’s stunning.
Great weekend here. Got a lot done. Not all but most of what I hoped to do. And some quality family time of course. What more can a girl ask for?
Happy Halloween!
Halloween is not a favorite of mine. I hate all things creepy and I hate horror movies. But I do love seeing how much joy David gets out of it.
Nathaniel got to be a bumblebee this year. David’s old costume.
Doesn’t he look cute?
I couldn’t get a good shot despite how much I tried. I think there was less light than I thought it and I didn’t raise my ISO as much as I should have.
And David was Buzz Lightyear, thanks to my awesome sister who sent us tons of costumes.
All in all a joyful day. Hope yours was, too.
Gone are the sedentary days. He’s so mobile. Still not crawling but he is moving around. And he keeps doing this all the time. Trying to stand up. Trying to get his body to move.
I did all my A Million Memories layouts tonight. Four layouts, all with a lot of journaling, and I love them all. It was a rough day, today, but it’s looking better now that it’s almost time to sleep.
I do most of my work in my bed during the day. I lie here, work on the laptop and watch Nathaniel over the video monitor. Watching him while he sleeps is something I cherish. I often have to stop myself from going into his room and giving him a kiss.
Today, I was watching him play on his bed before he falls asleep and I saw him go on all fours and rock back and forth like he’s been doing for a few weeks. But then he rolled on his side and sat up. All by himself. He sat up and grabbed his two little teddy bears and played and played.
I was so amazed that I broke my rule of never going back in and grabbed my camera to take a shot.
And now he sits up all by himself. This kid never ceases to amaze me.
My boys. Love them. It’s been a long and relatively productive day but I am wiped and want to curl up with a book so I won’t write much today.
I want to leave you with the thought that life is short and you shouldn’t feel obligated to do anything that you aren’t really obligated to do. (sounds weird but so many of us feel a sense of obligation when there’s no actual obligation.)
I ordered this little pumpkin because I thought it was really cute. I am not a fan of Halloween. I don’t like scary anything and I am not a fan of pumpkin flavored anything either. But aren’t these cute?
We’ve been having a lot of these faces lately.
I think he’s cute even with his sad sad face.
While he was sleeping last night, David kept coughing so I thought it might be best to keep him at home. I wasn’t sure it was a good idea but the two boys played together so much that I was so thrilled and snapped these (far from perfect) photos.
Nataniel had his six month appointment today and he’s doing well except for his weight. He is at 30% height, 50% head circumference but only 10% for weight. He was 25-30% last time (at four months) so this is sort of bad. To be fair, he’s looking and acting all healthy but I will nurse him extra long for a while and give him some daily solids and pray that he gains some weight.
My little boy also got a ton of shots today but he’s such a trooper that he barely cried. I hope David will be the same way when we go back next week for his flu shot.
Today was pumpkin carving day. We got all settled in the backyard and I cut the top and took its guts out.
This little template was the one David chose for this year.
Nathaniel wasn’t all that happy. I am not sure if it’s the teeth or he’s just moody.
Afterwards, while I gave Nathaniel another portion of food (he didn’t like it much better.) David practiced his letters. We’ve been writing one letter of the alphabet every day. We skipped yesterday so today we did both Cs and Ds.
I didn’t get much of my todo list done this weekend but
I am feeling very thankful for my beautiful life.
Happy six months my little boy. Nathaniel is six months today. He is so close to crawling it’s almost scary. He even wants to stand up and tries to several times a day. He has two little teeth coming out and he’s still the sweetest baby in the universe.
In honor of the six month birthday, we tried solid food for the first time today.
I gave him his own spoon cause he kept grabbing mine.
In case you were wondering if he liked it, that’s a definitive no. Not a fan.
Today I didn’t get as much done as I had planned but I did make some progress, got a few major items done, played a lot with my kids, cooked, and I am now relaxing and telling myself it’s ok if my todo list doesn’t all get done.
Tomorrow: carving pumpkins.
Nathaniel’s been cranky the last few days. I am hoping it’s just cause of the teeth coming out. Monday’s the doctor’s appointment so I’m sure we’ll find out if something is wrong.
I’ve been working on my December Daily album. I am so excited about it so far. Here are a few sneaks.
Happy Weekend!!
Bad photo, I know. This was actually taken in David’s classroom. Not the best lighting.
Good day but really tired so more tomorrow.
