Harpers first birthday

Image
I cant believe my little girl is ONE already! I hate the cliche that it all goes by in a blink of an eye, but its so true.  I seriously feel like I was just pregnant with her!  She's grown up so much though!  She makes us so proud!  She started walking at 10 months and has kept us on our toes ever since!  Shes a total mommas girl... I really cant even leave the room without her melting down.  Oddly enough though, she doesnt do too badly with babysitters.  Shes an amazing sleeper!  She knows that once shes put in her crib, that its sleep time, and she closes her eyes and goes right to sleep.  Sweet girl!  What an angel!  Shes still nursing daily, but we are weaning.  She never took a bottle and HATED formula.  Now that shes super into big kid food, shes wanting me less and less. (*FREEDOMMMMMMMMMM*) I tend to go all out for the kids first birthdays.  After that, they can plan their own parties (That means I'm off the hook for at least the next 4-5 years...hahahaha).  So heres

Not much new... haha, ya right

well, since I've been true to form and neglected my blog, which is more journal than anything since anything that goes on here really isn't news to anyone... I think I kinda come on here for the theraputic act of typing and putting my thoughts into words.  If I didnt get hand cramps from writing so much, that may actually work for my dusty journal too.  so, whats new?   Well, this is not news to anyone, but I'm due with baby number 2 in August!  August 16th, to be exact, which is my baby sisters birthday, so its definitely not a bad day to come into this world.  However, I kinda feel like he/she is going to join us around the 9th.  I guess we'll see how close I am and how accurate a mothers intuition is (in the small scheme). Oh man, doesn't that face just kill you?  Ugh, I swear I could just eat him up most days. Its getting to the point that I have to try not to laugh when he does something naughty.  Its cute, but I know I cant encourage him.  Boy is life

being mom

Being mom means that you usually eat dinner once its cold.  And what you eat, usually gets cut in half cause you are the one to share with the little one(s).  Sometimes you forget to eat breakfast/shower/pee cause someone else is a little more demanding than the need to eat/be clean/pee.  The songs that get stuck in your head are songs from Sesame Street, baby einsteins, veggie tales, etc... and you don't even know who the latest popular artists are.  Going somewhere after 8:00 is impossible because thats after/just before bedtime.  And we are never, ever, ever, ever in any of the pictures, cause we are ALWAYS the one taking those pictures.  That being said, I am extremely grateful to my friend Liz for taking pictures of me and Greyson!  I so treasure these sweet pictures!

Obligatory guilty blog post for not posting in so long

I suppose I don't feel a pressing need to post so often because I'm pretty sure that anyone who is reading this, pretty much sees everything big that is announced or posted on facebook.  Most of my favorite pictures that I would post on here, are usually posted on facebook first.  Well, in case theres anyone new... The year is almost over.  I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that it is 2013... so 2014 is kinda unimaginable for me at this point.  This year, we bought a home, celebrated a first birthday, celebrated family weddings, cheered on first steps, and made lots of new friends! Now, some cute pictures of Greyson by a christmas tree(thanks molly for having such a cute tree!)
