Thank you chair.

Dear vibrating chair,

Thank you so much, you were truly heaven sent. You allowed me to have nice, relaxing showers while occupying my little man. You were a truly dependable friend. I'm sad we have to say good bye and do not know what I am going to do without you! Unfortunately Ryden no longer fits in your pillowy comfort! You will be missed!

xoxo, Nat

I watch you sleep.

I know a lot of mothers or fathers probably feel the same way as me. Sometimes you can't help but count the minutes until you put your baby to bed so you can have a minute to yourself. That minute or two might be to watch a show you have on the dvr, take a shower, or just pack your lunch for the next days work. So you finally get your minute and it feels good, but then you start to miss them. How can you miss your baby already when you just laid them to rest an hour ago but you do. So you creep into their room to watch them sleep in all their beauty. What are they dreaming about, you might think or just stare in disbelief on how quickly they are growing. I can't take enough shots of the little man sleeping because I don't know if I can think of anything more beautiful than a precious baby sleeping.

Crawlin!

Last week he said "mama" and this week he is on the move. This boy is knockin out his firsts!

Hat Show

What to do when it is a snow day??? A hat show! I think it was a little more for my entertainment than Ryden's. What one is your favorite???

Lucky 7

Everyday I feel more lucky that this awesome little boy chose us for his parents. He is more mobile everyday, his favorite mode of getting around is still rolling but he continues to practice his lunges and I'm waiting for the day for him to start crawling. He jabbers more everyday and it makes me laugh. He is enjoying eating and drinking from his sippy cup. He loves being around people and he won't miss a thing. He loves bath time and splashing the water.
