I have been told I need to update my blog :) So here I am. I have found five minutes of quiet time. In the last month my boy is simply growing up. But loving his momma too. He doesn't want baby food, he only wants to feed himself. He only wants big boy food and what mama and dada are eating. We are doing great with the sippy cup and weaning off that bottle, except when he's cranky and not feeling good because of his teeth, I cave and just give him what he wants. Sometimes I just can't listen to the whining anymore. I'm sure our Dr. will understand. He always knows where I am. If I'm in the kitchen, he's at my heels wanting to be held or played with or fed. He still doesn't say mama yet though. I think he's trying, but it's only when he's really mad about something. He gets told how happy he is all the time, but boy can he throw a fit. It's ridiculous really, and I don't pay much attention to him so he stops :) I hope he learns from this. I'm very tired of cleaning the high chair. I really am. It sounds so small, but it's just old now, and I don't want to do it anymore. Can he just clean it himself? And don't even get me started on spaghetti O's and Mac and Cheese. It seriously goes everywhere. Or the fact that whenever there are cheerios on his plate, all he wants to do is bang his sippy cup around making them fly across my clean kitchen floor. On another note, he's doing really well at Mother's Day out and at my CBS Bible Study. Personally, I have stepped up into the Assistant Chairman for Membership Development this year for Junior League. I am really enjoying getting to know some other women. I needed it. I hope to create good friendships from the experience. And I think I'm really going to enjoy CBS, however finding that quiet time to do my studies is very challenging for me. Mason walks around pushing anything he can push, even without wheels. Furniture is rearranged on a daily basis around here. He loves Bradley and always knows where he is and what he's doing. We have two teeth! That is a big deal! Yes, we have two bottom teeth and they are oh so cute. Although I miss my little gummy smile, I'm proud of my boy growing up. He still screams every single time I change his diaper. It's pretty annoying, since I do it 24/7 with no breaks. It is what wears me out by the end of the day. Cleaning the dang high chair, washing bottles and changing his diaper. Everything else I can handle! I'm worn out. I know I say this in every post but it's true. Motherhood is exhausting. I get tired of thinking for Ryon, Mason, and Bradley all day long...and then there's me somewhere in the end of the line. What else? Mason hates eggs. The only thing he's ever not eaten! Literally. Ryon and I are going to Vegas in a few weeks for our three year anniversary! We are thrilled. Mason is staying with his parents and we are just getting out of town for a bit. I'm super excited about it. I have never even been to Vegas as an adult. How weird is that? Ryon and I are going to wine and dine ourselves :)
I promise the messes get better! We went through that stage too when I was like, seriously?? You got that where??! It seemed like after I cleaned up everything we had to take a bath on top of it b/c food was in his hair and in his diaper. Soon more food will go in his mouth and less everywhere else - I promise! :)
