My sister Jennie was able to capture some wonderful videos of my psycho child Silas this Sunday. This first one is of Silas singing his good morning song which is the same tune as “Happy Birthday”. We had just sung Happy Birthday to my niece Ali so Silas decided to continue singing for her. This… Continue reading Videos!!

I Don’t Wanna Be a Mommy Today.
I hate mess but I can’t stop creating it, it’s driving me crazy. My brain gets fuzzy and things are so off, when my world isn’t in order. But I can never actually seem to create order. Once I get everything back in place I forget to keep it that way. I leave coffee cups… Continue reading I Don’t Wanna Be a Mommy Today.
I Love Silas
Oh my darling Silas, he’s growing farther and farther away from my womb. It’s a strange feeling to see him becoming his own person. I delight in watching him grow and change and learn. I’m really seeing how much he isn’t my own but he’s in fact his own. What a blessing it is to… Continue reading I Love Silas
Pent Up
The past few days I’ve been feeling kind of pent up. It’s a weird feeling, like I wanted to freak out all over the place. I eventually gave into last night and just got really hyper…manic much?? *sigh* it was another one of those flashback thingies I’ve been getting, almost like that part of my… Continue reading Pent Up
I Should Be Cleaning and Not Writing So Much!!
Holy cow it’s 3:30 and I haven’t blogged. I was letting Ikey slurp away at my bossoms while talking for hours on the phone with Jill. We hadn’t had a good, long phone call in a while. It was much needed. Ikey sucked for over an hour, but there wasn’t much milk. He hardly ate… Continue reading I Should Be Cleaning and Not Writing So Much!!
Happy Birthday Isaac!!
Ikey is three months old today. Man I wish I had a birthday every month. That’d be so cool. So now I guess I fill you in on all things Ikey. Right now he’s sitting in his bouncy chair in a stripped onsie that his cousin Cornelius wore 10 years ago. The bouncy chair almost… Continue reading Happy Birthday Isaac!!
I’m Famous??
The other day I gathered my courage and stepped on the scale. I haven’t been a good eater lately I must confess. When there’s this much chaos in my life I have a hard time staying controlled in all areas. So I’ve been eating poorly. I was very surprised when I stepped on the scale… Continue reading I’m Famous??
Mostly Photos
I got a little excited yesterday. I was trying to figure out how to make my dragon tree sprout more branches and whatnot and I got into pruning and then I just went a bit scissor crazy on my house plants. I’m so excited though. I love caring for my houseplants and actually they love… Continue reading Mostly Photos
Mung
I have a sensory experience that I’ve set up for you all. This requires no tools and you’ll actually get to SMELL Isaac. Who’s excited? Let’s begin: take a finger and insert it into your belly button, now move it around and create some friction for some heat. Do this for about and minute and… Continue reading Mung
Guilt
Why does being a mother involve guilt? Is it the guilt that drives us or the love? There’s nothing worse than non parents pointing out your faults as a parent. I don’t feel horribly guilty. My kids are going to have a way less stressful childhood than mine so I know they’re ok. Hopefully they… Continue reading Guilt
Sprinkler Fun
Yesterday marked the very first time I watered my very own lawn. Silas joined in on the festivities and we came out with these wonderful photos of him in all his glory. What I didn’t realize during is that while he was enjoying this water bottle, he was also pooping. Then he touched it.… Continue reading Sprinkler Fun
Shelving is an Adventure
Yesterday I set out to Home Depot and got all the stuff for putting up wire shelving in our storage room. One I got there I felt like I was living a Home Depot commercial. “You can do it, we can help” kept running through my mind. I kept telling them how much I suck… Continue reading Shelving is an Adventure
Breastfeeding Frustrations
Ok so anyone else have a baby who gets milk streaming out of his nose when breastfeeding? Yes, streaming. Like it’s going in his mouth and then straight out his nose. And no, he’s not laughing. I do have a tendancy to have things come out of my nose. Especially when I’m with Courtenay. She’s… Continue reading Breastfeeding Frustrations
I Do It
Wow, a vocabulary breakthrough has happened this morning. Silas just put his own sentence together using his own understanding of the English language. He said “I do it” when he wanted to feed himself. Everything is covered in oatmeal as a result. I’m so happy that he’s starting to use sentences. So exciting. Yesterday he… Continue reading I Do It
Don’t Worry, I’m Happy!
Isaac is completely delicious today. He was in his bouncy chair giggling to himself this morning. He’s such an easy little muffin. I just put him on his tummy for tummy time and he’s just laying there all relaxed. He’s falling asleep. K he was falling asleep. He’s stirring now. I really couldn’t have asked… Continue reading Don’t Worry, I’m Happy!
