January FB Posts

 S

Ready for another nap.

How do I keep my cold to myself? Thomas is touchy feely......

I don't remember the last time I updated this.....hmmmm....

is it bad that I know what kind of tv/movie my 3 month old child likes?

It's way past my bedtime, but here I am facebooking while my family sleeps.

Really wants to go on a hike. Why is everything harder with a baby?

going to listen to President Packer. :)

thinking of all the things I can eat...

hot dates

Sometimes Josh and I go on hot dates on the weekend.

Other times I fall asleep on the couch while he takes my blood pressure 10 times for practice.

Other times I fall asleep on the couch while he watches TMNT II

Other times I fall asleep on the couch while he plays Cabela's Big Game Hunter on the Wii.

I'm not quite sure who to blame all the lameness on. Thomas's fault for needing to go to sleep so early? My fault for falling asleep within 15 seconds of becoming horizontal? Or Josh's fault for thinking blood pressure, turtles and fake hunting count as hot dates?

One thing I love about my dentist

One thing I love about my dentist is that when I show up for my 10am appointment at 9:51 he has me in the chair with a needle in my gums by 9:52.

I've never ever waited in his waiting room. And that's worth loving.

Did you notice the pages?

Blogger in draft now allows pages. (across the top of the blog "blog" "All About Josh" etc.)

Very cool eh?

So if you're bored (and only if you're bored) you can read more than you ever wanted to know about this family. Fun huh?

The best part is that will never go away. So there's no rush. Just parooz at your own convenience, that's right, they're perma-posts!

So much potential!

The Sounds of Silence

After rocking and pacing and singing and holding and loving and cuddling and rocking some more with my (adorable) screaming child for the past hour, I am currently (finally) enjoying the sounds of silence.

I sit in the rocking chair in his room and listen.

I listen to the clock tick. With each tick tock tick tock he's been peaceful for 1 second longer.

I listen to the dishwasher drying the dishes. The utensils settle into themselves clanking together a bit.

I listen to the furnace start up and slowly spread the warmth through our home.

I listen to the grunt of a baby. I can almost hear his muscles relaxing one at a time. Slowly his body calms and eventually it will fall asleep.

I listen to the squeak of my rocking chair. Back and forth back and forth back and forth.

When it's painfully apparent that I'm the loudest one in the room, I slowly sneak out, leaving Thomas to his dreams. Ready to start my own.

Camera face

This is Thomas' regular camera face:

I think he's not quite sure what that thing is, or why his mother holds it ALL DAY LONG.

This is Thomas' "mom is so funny" face:

It requires a stealth sneak attack and some serious distraction.

This is Thomas' "whoa what was that flash" face:
I think it's more "interested" than "afraid". Josh thinks it's "wow I'm blind"....meh what does he know?

One thing I love about my husband is.....

One thing I love about my husband is that he can make my baby smile (and now giggle!) pretty much any time he wants.

And there's nothing sweeter than watching my big boy grin because my little boy is grinning.
