A post about nothing...

It is Sunday in the afternoon. Will is sleeping. I now have time to blog. I used to be so good at this blogging thing when I had more time. But lately I do not.

Some things that have happened in the last couple of days...

Will has taken a couple of steps unassisted. We were so excited! Of course I had the mommy tears.

Will is fascinated and loves to watch Blues Clues. Frankly we prefer Steve over Joe. Sorry Joe.

Will fell asleep in daddy's arms today watching Baby Einstein.

Will fell asleep on Friday night at 6:15 in my arms while I rocked him. I felt like I had a 3 month old baby in my arms.

Beginning to believe that Will is working on some more teeth. He is sucking on his hand so bad that he has left a little cut. Plus the drool is pouring out. Do any of you know is a strong urine a sign of teething? That is what his sitter said. I looked it up online and they say that it can be. Definitely not a urinary tract, he has been normal as can be and no fever.

Looks like we might be going to Chicago for Xmas so Will can see his Grandma. Might be the first white Xmas I can remember. Let's cross our fingers.

Will loves pat a cake. He claps his hands and gets so excited. When he hears a song he likes he will even start to clap. Such a cutie.

Think we have another pasta lover in the house. Will. He loves it!

He holds his own sippy cup.

We showed him his bottle which he gave up for his sippy cup at 7 months. He had no clue what to do with it. Like it was some foreign object we were putting in front of him.

Going to make homemade granola for some friends for the holidays. Will also make some cookies...just don't know when.

Have some Thanksgiving pics that I need to stick up. I will. Hopefully soon we will pay a visit to Santa. Hope Will likes him.

Happy Sunday....Oh...Lew says, "Go Bears!" Gotta love your hubby.

Missing My Baby...

I know that I have not posted in a while. Life just seems to pass me by and I just wonder where the days go.

So lately I have had anxiety and a little stressed. I miss not being home with Will. I just feel like the afternoon is not long enough for him and I to have mommy and Will time. I always thought when I went back to work that he would forget who his mommy was...he hasn't...thank goodness. Don't think I could handle that.

Over Thanksgiving I had 4 days off and it was just so great to be able to feed him breakfast, lunch and dinner. To be able to read books, to snuggle (which he is loving right now), to watch blues clues, and all those other daily routines that I sometimes miss because I work.

I know that I have to work right now...but during the day...I'm missing my baby.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Hey all my bloggy peeps out there, just wanted to wish everyone a happy turkey day!!

Here I am with Mommy's balloon.

I love to watch Baby Einstein

Here I am chasing daddy.

Our Moment...

Hi My Sweet Bubsy...the last two nights you have awakened from your slumber in a horrible, heart wrenching cry. The first night...you feel back asleep after I danced with you. Then last night you started crying again and I came to see what was wrong and you were so upset. I picked you up and we rocked in the rocking chair. It was like when you were a "little" baby bubsy. You rested your head on my chest and our hearts were beating as one. It makes me think of when you were born and the nurses put you on my chest and said that my breathing would start to regulate your breathing. I am not a doctor or a nurse but I like to think that you and I are breathing at the exact same time. That I had a hand in your breathing system. The softness of your skin and those sleepy eyes just melted my heart last night. It was such an amazing moment that we shared. You were sleepy, calm, and not climbing all over me. I hope that we have more of these moments.

Totally Random Thursday...

Okay...enough is enough...i have tried to load these pics several times now and well, its not working. They are small, as you can see and i think it has something to do with daddy cropping them which then changes the size of them. so if you need to get your glasses to actually see them i understand. hey at least it is a post...it is something. sorry. the energy is just not here today.

latest on Will...he definitely is getting a "tude" sometimes a good one and other times not so. but it is so hard not to laugh when he does it. we just get a kick out of this little guy. he now has a place where he likes to go #2. He looks out at the back deck and watches Ella and does his business. You can hear him grunting sometimes, it is so funny! I know Will, one day you will be reading this. But one day I won't remember it! You have started to scale the bathtub. Trying to climb in on your own. When you hear the water running, you get so excited and stand on your tippy toes. So...cute! You have started to wave. You look at Elmo when he moves as if he were part of the family. You love to cling on to mommy's pants, especially when I am cooking. I love that you have become clingy. I love that when you get tired you love to snuggle. You eat anything and everything!

started talking about Will, then started talking to Will. it's a blog we can do with it what we want right? see i told you it was a random Thursday!

Mommy Tears...

I know...I know. It has been a while since I have blogged. But I have been meaning to blog about this for some time now.

Do you ever get those mommy tears? You know the ones I am talking about!

You see that snuggle commercial with that fluffy bear and then it hugs the baby. Its not exactly that but you get the picture. I start to tear up with that kind of stuff!

I hear an inspirational song on the radio and I get that smile on my face and then I can feel my eyes well up.

Anything and everything Will does seems to make me tear up and usually smile. Like lately he has been trying to stand on his own, w/o holding on to anything. I start to think, my baby, where did he go? I tear up and smile again.

For crying out loud I can be watching Franklin on noggin with Will and tear up b/c Franklin gets stuck in time out.

So...what is with these tears? I have never been like this before in my life! Have any of you gone through this or are you going through this. Would love to hear your stories.

Some awesome Will pics to come soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY

Hello, all my bloggy peeps our there, it's me Will. I just wanted to wish the best mommy in the world a Happy Birthday. I have to admit it took daddy and me like 35 minutes to hack into mommy's account. We must have changed this password like 4 times. I think it would be easier to hack into Fort Knox. But seriously, we love you so much mommy. You do everything for us and we don't know where we would be without you. We love you mommy more than air.
