life with a new baby
It’s hot. Really, really hot.
You know what really helps when your house feels like a stifling sauna (besides wishing you were an ice cube)? I’ll tell ya what helps. Sitting outside, where it is even hotter, where the humidity is so thick you could almost choke on it, and sitting for a good ten minutes. Then when you come back inside, it feels like a freakin’ ice-skating rink. For the next five minutes, anyway.

Mommy and Nathan…

… enjoying some nice weather. Man I love this kid! He’s so fun to hang out with!
Little Nathan’s such a big boy

I’m so glad spring is here!! It’s been a warmer-than-normal winter here in Tennessee, so everything is blooming earlier. Which I like. Because I like spring. I feel all happy and spinning-around-in-circles giddy. I also like spring because it gives me this energy after enduring the drab slump of winter. I like to get my More >
And the sleeplessness continues…

Well, there has been no improvement with Nathan getting out of bed at night. My child’s willpower has surpassed mine. Unbelievable. If I had a white flag, I would totally wave it. We’ve tried everything we could think of, but nothing has worked. Discipline, bribes, rewards, promises… nothing has thwarted his apparently indomitable desire to More >
Oh the things they eat.

Nathan was walking around the house with something in his mouth. “Trees! Mmmm good trees!” he said as he chomped on it. Trees are what he calls broccoli. “What’s in your mouth, Nathan?” I asked. “Come here and give it to Mommy, please.” He hopped right on over to me, opened his mouth, and spit More >
Because in Toddler Land, all things are edible

So as I was about to apply some lipstick, I noticed it had been mauled by what looks like little toddler teeth. I’m pretty sure Nathan ate it since I have yet to find any evidence of it being elsewhere. That’s ok… at least he left me some… In other news, Nathan says the funniest More >
Enjoying the weather
about 3 months ago - No comments
Sitting outside together, enjoying some beautiful weather. And oh yeah. Nathan loves having his picture taken. Every time I break out the camera, he grins and says, “Say cheeeeeeeeeese!” And of course he likes to scroll through all the pictures after I’ve taken them, exclaiming “There’s Mommy! There’s Nathan!” and even occasionally kissing or hugging the screen. More >
A pain in the neck
about 3 months ago - No comments
Owwwww. And I do mean OWWwwWWwww. Yes, I am complaining. My neck is killing me, thanks to my extremely strong-willed toddler. I initially hurt my neck in December… it sucked, but compared to how I feel now, the pain was more of an aggravating nuisance. I was trying to get Nathan into his car seat and he bucked up More >
I’m not just mommy…

Lately, our cat Meeper has been antagonizing one of our other cats, Kayli. Meeper has been trying to “dominate” her, which is odd because he’s neutered. (All our cats are fixed.) At any rate, whenever he tries to be dominant, he makes this annoying loud meowing sound, and I’m always harping on him for his More >
Tis the season for… mischief!

BIG SIGH OF RELIEF. I have most of my Christmas shopping done! I spent all day Saturday braving the crowds, getting jostled by oblivious texters while walking crowded walkways. I seriously can’t stand people who text and conveniently forget that the world around them continues to revolve. Oh yeah. Speaking of texters, I was almost More >
At the end of our rope

Andrew, enjoying a brief stay under the tree. We caught him trying to poop under there one day (we’ve been having a year-long problem with him pooping outside the litter box) so we had to block it off with a fence to prevent him from getting under there. I love this cat, but I’m about More >

I think I would have melted!!! I’m inside… and it’s soooo hot. But not nearly as hot as it is outside! I don’t think I could do any kind of outdoor activity right now!
