Reasons I haven't been blogging

7. I have a four month old who still is not consistently sleeping through the night.

I do not like to start my day at 3 am.
Or 4 am.
Or 5am.
One night.
He will sleep.
All.
Night.
Long.
And so
will I.


6. Nate's Naked Nap time.
There is no diaper there.
There is no diaper anywhere.
I threw the diaper. Yes, I did.
I peed upon it.
While on the floor.
Now could you, would you, please close the door?
Close it firmly, leave the room.

I need more time to get this right.

If I try and try with all my might.

I might just hit the cup in mid flight.

Duct tape, DUCT TAPE you say?

I laugh in the face of duct tape. I will rip open my diaper.

I will escape. Duct tape is no match for Super Nate!

A special treat? You will give me a special treat? Only if I keep my clothes on? Special treat now? SPECIAL TREAT! I love special treat.

(So far it has worked. I love special treat too.)

5. We traveled. I got to see one of my best friends from college. Oh, how I miss her. Can we shrink the distance between TN and TX? Please?

4. Oh the cuteness! How can you not spend all your time taking pictures of these two little guys? (And then editing them on Picnik.com!)

3. Nate likes to help cook!

And really. Who wouldn't find salt and dish soap delicious?

2. Nate likes to help with Caleb!

He likes to help him play with his toys.

Caleb does not always find this particularly helpful.

1. Really, I have no excuse. The one that can run is now going to a mom's day out program at our church. Oh the freedom!

I can...

Blow Bubbles

Laugh!

Snuggle with monkey

Love on my brother

Rain, Rain, where are you?

The middle number is the temperature outside. Pretty hot. Also pretty sunny.

Getting Dressed

My little boy is growing up so fast! I know that he can get his shorts and diaper OFF *sigh* having stumbled upon a bare bottom when I checked on him before bed. He has also started to express an opinion about what he would like to wear ("Thomas shirt mommy, Thomas? Thomas? Thomas?") Now he is making the next steps towards dressing himself. Wow.

He wasn't able to get his shorts over his bottom.

So very proud of himself!

Trouble

This is what I found.
This was the result.
