Happy Sunday!

I love this picture! Baby J has no problem letting me dress him up! He is such a ham!

The rest of my family went for a mini vacation this weekend so it was Baby and Mama all weekend, which was nice. We had a visit from Aunt Catherine, and she brought over her gangsta shades for baby to try...I think I'll have to get him a pair of his own! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I can't believe we are at the end of October already. Time flies!

When the baby sleeps...

The mama should too! But, right now my mind is racing. It's never a good idea to eat rocky road ice cream before bed. I just know I will have crazy dreams as a result. You know, the ones that go on and on and on without end. They are usually about the stupidest things like trying to find something to wear and all you can find is life jackets, or having to defend your home from 100 guys dressed like Aladdin ( In my dreams locking the doors usually works...just saying). I usually don't dream unless I eat sugar late in the evening, so I guess I deserve them.

In honor of rambling, I am going to share some more thoughts. Or rather, picture thoughts.

The following picture sums up how I have been feeling the last three long months.

The one after that gives me a little more hope.

Goodnight everyone! I must get to bed, before Baby J decides to rise and shine:)

P.s. Isn't this picture darling?

Makes me want to go apple picking AGAIN....

but, this time wearing those special apple picking shoes:)

On a lighter note...

A newly updated photo of my handsome little boy. I am amazed how big he is getting, and how fearless he is. Everyday he is learning something new! Let's just say I am one VERY proud mama.

Happy Sunday!

I am now officially a weekend blogger. My job starts tomorrow! I want to thank all of you for putting up with my mood swings and random posts. I love reading your blogs, which contain thoughts on everything under the sun. Your comments and kind words have helped me through a rough time. I feel better than ever before, losing weight, moving on from a "bad romance", starting school again..... the pieces are coming together. It can only get better!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Poor Baby

I have the exact same baby carrier. Joshua loves being toted around in his:) I don't think I look that cool wearing it though....

P.s. Can I just say that Bradley Cooper is SUPER cute, even if he looks really down in the dumps here.

The Little Guy

These were taken while we were in Salt Lake City, Utah. I just received them yesterday. Thought I'd share:) He is already a lot bigger! He was sleeping when we arrived at the photo shoot. They did a couple shots of him sleeping and he woke up right before they took this one. He was so happy to see all the attention he was getting! This kid is such a ham!

Mama Stuff

Baby J was up ALL night last night. Poor guy is getting over a stomach bug. I sat with him in the rocker and woke up an hour later with him sound asleep snuggled in the blanket I had when I was a baby. He just wanted me to hold him. Every time I attempted to put him down in his crib he cried.
I remember how I felt when I was sick even as a teenager. I always wanted my mom. It's just hard because all I can do is rock him and sing to him, I can't take away the discomfort. It pains me not to be able to soothe him completely. Poor little dear...
He woke up in smiles this morning, and I with huge bags under my eyes. Hopefully whatever it was is gone for good.

Sad is Bad!

New Rule! No more Sad Stuff!!! I am done with it.

From now on I will be have posts that are positive and uplifting.

I got depressed reading my own blog today! Sorry Everyone!

I need to pull myself out of WOE IS ME land and just BE HAPPY!

I have a awesome kid and an awesome family....

YOU all are awesome too!!!

RaWr!!!!!! ( That was a happy rawr!)

Love,

Aly
