Not ready!



This adorable baby boy turns 1 in a week and I am sooooooo not ready for it! I went through his drawers tonight and cried while packing up my favorite clothes that he doesn't fit in anymore.



It's just so surreal to me that a year ago I was hugely pregnant, living in cold Salt Lake City and working at Chili's and didn't have a BABY! Oh how my life has changed!



I am so grateful for this little dude, he is just so adorable and brightens every day of my life! I can never be mad at him for long cuz that little smile of his just melts my heart! I'm so grateful that I've been given the chance to experience the utter joy of being a mom!

Now off to take care of another side effect of being a mom...Utter sleep deprivation!

Guess What Time It Is!

Yeah it's time for another super long post stuffed full of pictures. I've been keeping ourselves busy with new highchairs, new foods, and learning new things! Silas is just too cute for words. He loves his highchair and LOVES food, especially "big boy" food. I'll feed him his dinner and then sit down with mine and within 2 minutes he's at my knee, looking at my plate and licking his lips! He's officially gone without a bottle at night for a whole week tonight! He is starting to sleep through the night more, usually waking up at 4 or 5 in the morning and *gasp* coming in bed with Mommy until he wakes back up at 8 or so. I'm going to give him another week of not having a bottle at night, then start getting him to go back to sleep in his crib and then after we master that...Going to sleep on his own!!! It'll be a process but I'd rather take my time and have it stick then not.
He's got his front four top and bottom teeth and is working on cutting a few molars. He was really unhappy for a few days, but with a combo of Orajel and Motrin he's been a lot better. He hasn't even had anything today and was just fine!
He still has yet to stand for more than a few seconds by himself, but is working on wearing a path in the rug from cruising around the coffee table. Physically he's developing right along schedule but socially he has no interest in learning how to "give loves", give kisses, wave, any of that stuff. It makes me a little worried, but I just need to be better about trying to teach him things and it'll all come along eventually. He loves just about anyone who will hold him and give him attention!















We had a really bad rainstorm which flooded the wash by my house...Then a week later it rained so hard they shut down my road on one side!















You can't tell but his feet aren't even touching the floor here!
