"Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow,

for children grow up, i've learned to my sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep.

I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep."

-unknown-

i just kept thinking all day,

i was born to do this.

this is my calling.

and there's no where i'd rather be than

smack dab in the middle of my beautiful chaos.

i hope you all had a great mothers day.

happy mothers day mom.

we all love you.

we have a toofers!!!!

attention, attention!

griffin is officially with tooth!!!

i was feeding him dinner and low and behold....

i spied a tooth!

its hard to see, but its there!

he's been biting that bottom lip just like that for days!!!

"hooray for me!!!! i have a tooth!!!!!"

this is big around here people.

real. real. big!

griff....

he's been enjoying the swing in the hit and miss weather.

he loves it.

he let's out these huge laughs as you let him go!

i don't ever want to forget that chubby hand holding on.

i seriously could eat him in that hat!

on another note,

i want to put a call in to the swing manufacturers.

it was clearly not made for the ''chubby challenged"

we have to squeeze him in!

ok, i had to get a pic of griff in his crib.

this is the first time he's ever been in it.

thats right, the first time.

i love to co-sleep my babies.

i love feeling his warm little body snuggled up to me.

and it makes feeding so easy!

he was looking around at everything like, "what the?"

"i'm not sleeping in here am I?"

not a chance buddy.

the crib is a sham!

maybe for naps when you are mobile.

i've come a couple of conclusions at the end of this post.

1. griffin has taken over my life.

2. i love it!

3. i use exclamation points way too much to convey my excitement!

oh my gosh!

have you read this book?

i just finished it and had to blog about it right now!

it is so moving.

it is a "must read"!!!

i love pioneer and early settlers stories.

if you do to you will love it.

it is amazing the things they went through.

get it, read it, you'll love it. promise.

now back to reality.

i've been neglecting some "must do's" for the love of this book!

ps. you really can't "click to look inside". just the lame image i grabbed.

the sunday line up.
