A new post

I haven't blogged in a very, very long time. I'm not sure I remember how. Okay I think I can, I think I can...

Life has been crazy. I had to give up blogging because I just didn't have the time. It was blog, or make dinner, and the majority vote in the house was for dinner. So I just had to stop. I didn't know what to say, whether to actually say goodbye, or see you sometime in the future, or see you next week. So time just passed and I didn't say anything. Truth be told I still don't know if or when I will come back to it.

Things have gotten even busier since stopping. Moose turned 3 in October and has been going through some "regression" due to his little brother. Refusal to potty train, not wanting to talk (though he won't stop talking when he feels like it, hehe), that kind of thing. Its a little frustrating but we will get there. I have faith that one day these things will just click and he'll decide being a big boy is pretty cool. He's learning so much though. He's really improving with his colors and numbers and he loves to be read to or watch Planet Earth documentaries. He is such a smart, strong-willed, loving boy. His favorite lovey is a brown lion named "Kitty" that Mack T is not allowed to touch. Heheh.

Mack T is 18, no, almost 19 months old now. He started walking around 16 months, but then decided he liked crawling better. At 18 months he started walking around maybe 60-70% of the time. Now he's up to probably 90%. He's a sweet boy, loves to be with me every moment of the day. Unfortunately his napping has not been good as of the last few weeks, so mommy has not gotten much of a break :( On top of that we have all been sick off and on for three weeks and he has at least one tooth coming in! Yikes! Cold weather must be here.

I can't believe its Thanksgiving week. I am so thankful for this blog and the outlet it has given me to share a piece of my life with you. I'm so thankful for everyone who has read along. I am so very thankful for my family and for God and all His blessings. May God bless and keep you this holiday season, and until we meet again.

Just a Little Update

Oh my goodness, life has been so busy these past few weeks!

Mack Truck is getting ready to crawl. He is semi-mobile already, using scooting and rolling to get to where he wants to go. He broke a tooth a week or so ago! He's also still sleeping very inconsistently. Some nights we get 14 hours with just one feeding in that time period, and sometimes he still wakes me every two hours. We have been loving on our Zara Sun wrap a lot these days. I guess spring is in the air!

Moose is becoming such a kid. He's starting to look less and less like a baby to me. At 2.5 years old he knows many of his colors, can count fairly well, and hold conversations with me. He's such a big boy but he still insists on doing some of the things Mack T does: sit in a high chair, steals Mack T's sippy cups, and playing with teethy toys. He also gets jealous of my wearing Mack T in my wraps and has a newfound love for being wrapping himself. It is nice getting to share that bond with him that I wish I had known about before Mack Truck was born.

52 Life Lessons: Week 1

A fellow mama blogger is doing "365 Love Letters" to her daughter. I have really enjoyed it and been inspired to do something similar for my boys! I cannot commit to a full 365, but once a week sounds rather fabulous and very doable to me! I will also being doing these primarily using my camera phone, unedited. I'd like to focus on the shots themselves rather than all the fancy bells and whistles of my Nikon. So let's get started... I'm rather late on this week's, but here we go!

snuggles with sicky

Mack Truck has been sick this week. Poor boy has felt just awful and doesn't want to be put down for even a moment. We've had many snuggles this week, I wanted to share one with you.
