1. without walking in the mornings i am LAZY. That's all there is to it!! It has been almost a week since me and my mom walked and lets face it. It has been absolutely wonderful, but I do nothing!! watch tv, eat otter pops, take care of the baby (that counts for something right??) But when he's napping I am too. Thats how the past couple days have been. Zero energy.
2. Babies grow up too fast. Spencer just figured out how to crawl. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. It makes me so happy to see him so mobile, but....this kid is a TERRORIST! He sees something he wants. He gets that thing he wants. and he destroys everything in his path to get that thing. Makes for some fun fun fun cleaning ALL day. Everyday. And the best part about it?? people tell me that it only gets worse?? I'm not sure how but lets face it...mom's aren't suposed to be able to get anything done in a day. It takes every last drop of energy to clean up things. Getting ready?? a thing of the past. Showering? either late at night when baby goes to sleep or doesn't happen. Eating?? only if you can sneak the food because baby thinks that anything that is going into your mouth should be going into theirs instead. Not only this but now he also figured out how to pull himself to a standing on things. Coffee table, entertainments center, couch, toys, doors. So anything that was hiding on top of these things, can be reached. How do they learn so fast?? So happy that he's growing and learning, but really??
3. Sick babies should act sick. This past week we took Spencer to the doctor because he started coughing really bad. Well the doctor proceeds to tell us that spencer is a happy baby all things considered! She told us that he had 2 ear infections, bronulitis, AND croup. SERIOUSLY?? the kid didn't even act sick other than a little cough and runny nose. Poor boy needs to just lay there but no. Like I said earlier, nothing brings this kid down! haha
4. Alone time with the husband is important. As hard as it was to leave Spencer for the first time, Vegas was so much better without him. Me and Derek had a great time sightseeing, going to Celine dion concert. :) :) and going to fancy restaurants. It was so worth waiting for that trip. Our hotel was BOMB> the only thing missing, we should have gotten a massage. haha The concierge upgraded us for free to a huge suite that had a full kitchen, laundry machines, and sauna all in our room. Yeah we were blessed there for sure. It was nice to not wake up to take care of a baby for a couple days. SO glad we were able to experience that together.
5. I have been so inspired by other peoples blogs. Some of the blogs I follow are so inspirational and so from the heart. I want to write like that but never think of doing it!! Hopefully people don't mind when i copy some of the ideas they have used... I'm not copying because I want to take away your "publicity" I'm copying because you are a genius and I am in awe of your brilliance!! Just to explain that one. :)
6. This new year is going to be bomb! I'll post pictures of all our adventures in my next post. :) I haven't loaded any of them to the computer recently. :)
