Things I am Thankful For...October 14th!

Ok, so after reading one of Penny Pinching Diva's posts... I decided to follow suit and jot down 5 things I am thankful for each week.

1. My wonderful, loving, Godly husband. He does so many little things to help me and never mentions it. He supports me even as scattered brained as I am.

2. "The Wook" sitting up all by himself. I love looking at his eyes when he discovers new things from a new view of his little world. I can't wait to experience things with him everyday.

3. Being able to stay home with "The Wookster".

4. Whips Yogurt! I know this one sounds silly, but little things make me happy!

5. My parents and the wonderful grandparents they have become!

Wook's 1st "What is that in your mouth?"

So I went to my MOPS meeting this morning where the "wook" screamed his head of the entire time along with all the other babies, so he had to stay with me. We stood in the kitchen of the church for an excruciatingly long time while I held him on my hip, where he eventually fell asleep. It was so hot and I was watching them cook something that required way too many tools for my taste so I knew I wasn't going to whip that one up. It was a Pampered Chef thing...pampered I am not!

So anyways we get home and I notice that I left my raffle ticket on the coffee table. Well "wook" is not walking yet so no biggy. Then a few minutes later I notice that he is eating something, red. It is that stupid ticket. The fan strategically blew it off the table and across the room into his lap! I just experienced my first "what is that in your mouth?" panic. I found all the pieces at least. I thought it was a lucky one since I won free monogramming with it!

Free the Poop

This morning, after our pears and "raspberries" feast...I noticed the large dinner plate sized stain on the wook's jammies. Amazingly his diaper was absolutely clean! All of the poop freed itself right out of the "secret hatch"! How do babies do it? Hubby would have saved that diaper!

You Know You Have It Made When:

You gack up your cereal and pears from hours ago and someone immediately cleans it up so you don't have to roll around in it.

You can pass gas as loud as your Daddy and people laugh at you....only later realizing that you didn't just pass gas. Then someone immediately cleans you up, cause of course you would not want to roll around on the floor in all your cuteness and your poo!

Looking out the window in your jumpy thing excites you every day! Even though you only get a peek outside when you really get your chubby legs going!

You can beat both cats in a stare down contest! Retreat!!

Blowing your pears and cereal all over mommy does not get you in trouble...cause she hasn't realized yet that you know exactly what you are doing!

You have to merely groan from boredom and poke out your little lip to get someone to move you onto your next form of 10 minute entertainment.

5 Month Birthday

So the "wook" (m) celebrated his big 5 mo. b-day yesterday! He was unaware and there was no cake or balloons but for a moment I paused and remembered that five months ago (it seems like yesterday) he was swimming around in my belly giving me nightly bouts of indigestion. We've come a long way baby!

The Cat Napper 2

I have figured it out. M has learned the art of sleeping for only 30 minutes from our cats! Yes! that's it. They probably told him..."hey M. want to make mommy crazy? pick a spot, sleep there briefly and decide upon another, move there, nap, move again, nap, move again." In their case that would include but not limit them to: kitty gym, love seat, wing back chair in bedroom, bed, windowsill, glider, kitty gym, repeat! They are not good influences.

The Cat Napper

Ok...so why is it that M will nap half way to Mississippi, but only 30 min. in the bed? Seriously, you put the wook in the car and he is napping through 2 meals! But lay him down at home...is this a good excuse for my frequent visits to Target? The other Jess is coming over with her crew for a swim, and who wants to hang with a fuss-pot? The Cat Napper has cut this one short! MEOW!!!!
