A little note...

New Post! Things have been slowly busy around here. I know this may seem like an oxymoron, but seriously, I feel like I am slowly busy. Most of my time centers around when Jack needs to eat or sleep and I can get really busy to try and finish things before bottle time or even bath time arrives...and then once he is asleep, fed, and clean things just slow down. We have spent a lot of time with my parents over the last couple of days. My parents, Jack's Moo and Bull, love to have us come over, and not so much for our company, but for Jack's! It doesn't bother us too much because I can get a break from the 24/7 momma thing and there is ALWAYS plenty of yummy food to eat! Now that I have all of the rooms organized and clean, there is really not too much to do around her except for maintain things. This is a lot easier than having to completely clean up a room that has undergone a major disaster! (The disaster being the mess that can evolve from not cleaning) I am super happy that things are in their necessary place, and I love how much more room we have now that things are clean, but I catch myself thinking of projects to do when the super slow times begin to creep in. Brian is going to come home one day and I am going to literally be drawing on the walls!! Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE being able to stay home with Jack...it has been an absolute blessing and would not trade it for the world...but sometimes there are only so many times you can search the Internet, wipe off a counter top, or scan through the channels on the TV!!! I have starting collecting coupons...but explaing this project will have to wait for another post!!
On a different note, Jack is getting so big. Y'all, all of the clothes that I never thought he would fit into...he has almost out grown! He is the cutest thing. He has now starting sucking on his fingers. He will literally try and get every finger into his mouth...I had to stop him today because while he was eating his hand, he was utilizing his recent knowledge of his voice, and began to gag himself!!! One thing at a time, Jack! He is adorable and I wish that I had some pictures to post...but they will have to wait. The batteries on our camera are dead and I keep forgetting to buy some new ones! In due time...ok, time for another bottle!!!

Aren't they just adorable when they suck on their fingers? Emma can't figure out how to keep her thumb straight the whole time, so she gets aggravated when it bends and lets out a little yelp. And yes, the clothes thing... oh my goodness! All of those cute little clothes I got at the showers, I thought she'd never fit into them... and now Big Mama is growing out of them too fast! If ya'll are ever up this way and have a few extra minutes, we should get together and let them meet!

Katie--the "mundaness" of being a stay-at-home mom gets a little better as they get older. It's still mundane, but you don't have as much time on your hands. When Jack is old enough to play and run around, you will probably get out more, and it won't be quite as boring (for lack of a better word).
