A week with Lolly

My mom came up from Alabama this past week to visit me Winslow and we had such a great time.

Except for the fact that my son refuses a bottle...

We worked with him every single day a few times and he would get so upset. Bless his heart.  He ended up taking one from mom yesterday and then one from hubby today, but he still isn't convinced.

I have to go back to work next week.  I hope he learns to like it soon, because it's stressful enough to have to go back to work, much less worry about your little one who won't take a bottle.  :(

ANYWAY.

We did some shopping, went to a few thrift stores, and Winslow got lots of sugar and lovin' from his Lolly.  This boy is one loved fella.

We miss you already! Come back soon!

So this week is my last week before I go back to work...with every passing day it seems like the cloud over me gets darker and darker. :(  If i think about it enough, I will cry..but I know it's not going to be horrible and I have the best babysitter ever.. (my mother in law)

If I don't blog this week, it's because I'm soaking up EVERY second with my chunky monkey.  

Dear Winslow

Baby Boy,

You are now 2.5 months old...REALLY?  I seriously wish time would slow down...isn't that what all momma's say?  Goodness gracious you are such a joy each and every day.

My favorite part of the day is when you wake up and are super happy and giggly and then when it's time to go to bed and you get your bath.  You love those times.  I do too.  You love to splash in the bathtub and you also love to talk to your toys, especially the musical lion that Grammy bought you.  You are so precious.

I cannot believe that I go back to work in just 2 weeks...I go back on your 3 month birthday.  But I am not complaining because I am working part-time now...and Grammy is going to watch you while I'm gone.  I know y'all will have a BLAST.  I am so lucky to have her around where she can watch you while I'm working.  Don't worry though, I'm sure she will leave some kisses for me...  :)

There is a whole new world out here for you, little one..and I can tell you're taking it all in.  You are so alert and wide eyed all the time.  You love to be outside and look at the trees. You love to watch your toys light up and when you hear daddy's voice after he's been at work..you go crazy with the smiles.  It melts my heart.

I can't believe you are growing so big!  Before I know it, you'll be sitting up on your own...then crawling, then walking! Wow.

I love you so much and want you to know that being your mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  God is good.  All the time.

Keep on growing little one...

Love,

Your momma.

Five on Friday!

Hey y'all!!! This week has been wonderful- Since my time is dwindling until I go back to work, I'm soaking up every single second with my sweet babe.  Here are five things that's make this momma happy this week:

1. Halloween.  Would you look at us?  ha! I debated for so long whether or not to dress up as a family, and the day before I decided to...and that's why our costumes are a little... ghetto homemade looking.  ;)

 We stayed home and greeted the little kids for a little while until it was time for W's bedtime.  Wanna know something crazy?  I never really watched Charlie Brown when I was growing up...but I think we look pretty cute anyway!  I also never watched Winnie the Pooh...I was weird, I guess. 

2. Cloth diapers!  I ordered a stash of Cloth Diapers and they arrived this week.  I am so excited to use them and a little overwhelmed.  Any momma's out there that use them, please feel free to give me any advice! I think Winslow approves!

3.  Fall.  I just love fall..the leaves, pumpkins, hot cocoa....and of course, the cool weather.  Those photos were taken in the fall of 2011.  They are some of my favorites. 

4.  Working part-time...I just found out this week that my current employer is allowing me to work part time now.  PRAISE THE LORD.  No really, this is a HUGE answered prayer because there is no way I can leave Winslow that much.  For all you full-time working moms:  I salute you!  You are AWESOME.

5. My little guy...just because.  He makes all my days sweet. 

Happy Friday!!
