hi da-da!

before i post anything else, i must include a little picture and a short story.

today pratt and i spent the majority of our day in hot springs. we went to crystal falls with some friends and pratt LOVED it. we headed back to the condo afterwards so he could take a nap. 2.5 hours. that was his nap. yes. pretty unreal. he was exhausted from swimming.

well, we get home. and as we were about to pull into the driveway, i see clint jogging. he's nearby...so i decided to pull up next to him running and roll pratt's window down.

here is pratt, in the backseat, watching baby einstein. he looks up at clint as the window rolls down. it took about 8 seconds for him to realize who it was. and as soon as he did, he raised his little hand and said, "hi da da!".

y'all. i'm not making this up! he totally waved and said hi. he's been mocking us lately when we say "hi pratt" and wave to him. i just thought he was mocking the sound. well, he must remember it...because he totally said it today. i thought clint was going to die! he got so excited.

the worst part was that as i pulled away, pratt just started bawling his eyes out. it was really sad. almost like, here was his dad...right there..and then, bam. gone. poor baby.

this picture was taken fathers day night. and pretty much sums up how much pratt loves his daddy.



okay...so on to other things. we have had one FULL day today. whoa.

this morning, pratt held his sippy cup all by himself and actually tipped it up to get water!!! this is huge!!! he previously was able to hold it, just not really tip it up to get water. success! yay, pratt!



and after a full day of swimming and visiting with cookie, sugar and spice...we had a bath. i had to get a picture of pratt's hair. it's had clorine and plenty of sunscreen smeared through it today. i love how curly the back of it is getting! oh how i hope it continues to get curly. there is nothing better than curly boy hair! yay!!!





we hope you have enjoyed your mondays too.

i made the mistake of watching jon and kate. horrible. if you didn't watch it, consider yourself lucky. and smart. i'm really done watching it this time. i can't do it anymore.

have wonderful tuesdays.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
