Memos From Mommy

One of my favorite blogs is hosting a weekly contest. This was my entry for the week. I thought I would share since I had these cute pictures.


Dear Nathan-

Why is it that you save your best smiles, and cutest giggles for the dog? What has he ever done for you but chew your toys, and growl at you? I am the one who feeds you and changes your diapers. I think I deserve some love too. Thanks!!

Love,
Mommy

A Spoon, A Bib, And An Avocado

Put those three things together, and you have Nathans first meal. He seemed very indifferent about the food itself, but seemed to enjoy the process. Lindsey fed him, and I think he got most of the food on his face and bid. We will now move full speed ahead with the solids. On the menu for this week are apples, and peas. Bon Appetite.

Baby Feet

I seem to have a thing for baby feet lately. Almost all of the pictures I've taken of Nathan over the last week are of his cute little toes. I guess when your baby refuses to cooperate with smiles, baby feet are the next best thing. After all they are adorable, and completely kissable.


They also make a great toy that can't get lost, or eaten by the dog. While providing hours minutes of entertainment.



Of course it doesn't hurt that they're attached to this beautiful semi smiling face.

Could This Day Get Any Better?

Today has been a great day.

Nathan took a 2 hour nap in his bassinet this morning.
During his nap I was able to shower, clean the kitchen, and put laundry away.
The sun was shining. So we took an extra long walk.
I got out of the house. Went to Starbucks, and paid with a gift card.
When we got home Nathan was asleep. He took another nap!!
Nathan is actually laughing now. It is so.freaking.cute.
My sister is finally coming to visit this weekend, and I'm so excited!!
I made a super easy, super yummy, diet friendly dinner.

Is it possible for this day to get any better I ask?

I don't know, but my husband is on his way home to watch 3 hours of LOST with me. I have so missed this show!! I think it's some enhanced version of the season finale from last year or something.I don't care, I still can't wait!!

The Battle Begins Tonight

I realized when I woke up this morning that I go back to work in exactly 2 weeks. That is a scary thought. It's not necessarily the work part that is bothering me, I will only be working 4 days a week. It's that I still feel like it's too early. I'm not ready. I have to get up at 3am for work, and right now I am sleeping until 8am. Nathan likes to stay up late so we usually don't go to bed until 11:30 or so, and when we go to bed he sleeps right next to me. Like most people I like my sleep, and in the beginning that was the easiest way to get it.

So now I need to break the habit and get him to sleep on his own. Starting tonight I'm moving upstairs to Kailyn's room. I don't want to keep Dare up as he hasn't adjusted to my new later bedtime. I'm going to try and get him to sleep in the bassinet in the room with me. I need to do it now before I am too tired from work. Unfortunately, I think the 11:30 bedtime will just have to stay. I think once Nathan has to get up at 6am for daycare he will start going to bed earlier. At least I hope. Wish me luck.
