today.

today was a really good day.  i find that the busy days aren't really the hard ones.  instead, they are the ones that i love the most.  because something about staying (semi) busy is good for me.  for my soul.  i get worried when we don't have anything to do.

max is in a good routine and so pratt and i have time during the day when it's just me and him.  and i love those times.  i miss him.  i told him that today.  i told him that i was so glad we were back together.  that i had missed him.  he said, "what did you miss most, mommy?"  i told him that i missed him coming downstairs in the morning and sitting in my lap for a good 30 minutes.  until he was really awake.  until he could move around.  some mornings he sat longer.  others...others were shorter.  but he always wants me in the morning.  and i love that.  as my dad says, don't we all just want our mommies.  true, true.

this morning when max went back to sleep, we made hot chocolate.  the cold weather kind. with cocoa and salt and sugar and heavy cream/milk.  yummy.

pratt loves to drink it out of coffee cups.  i do too.








this next series of pictures totally cracks me up.  i mean, LOOK at max's face.
















and yes.  he did that all on his own.  he asked if he could change his diaper.  i said "sure.  go right ahead."  i even gave him a quarter when he was done.  i mean, he wiped him.  and then he tried to put a new diaper on him.  as he was picking up his feet (JUST like i do) he goes, "man, he's heavy momma."

notice he's wearing a hat in the picture below.  and undies.  but that's all.  a hat and underwear.  awesome.

he was trying to write pop pop.  he got two p's and an o.  just not really in that order.  sweet, sweet boy.




and my favorite picture of the day.  my little baby.  my blue eyed baby boy.

today we talked.  about lots of things.  he cooed back at me.  and that's all the response i need.

Oh my, every picture of Max is different, but I've never seen a more serious looking child. Can't wait until he starts talking. That's when the fun begins

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.
