Are we two yet?

Okay first disclaimer is that Sariah has been sick so that has added
to her grumpiness. But seriously so far this morning has been all tears.

Didn't want to get out of bed.
Didn't want to get dressed.
Was sad she couldn't have her binkie back (she only gets it for naps
and night time but lately has really fought to have it during the day).
Didn't want to eat breakfast.
Didn't want any kind of cereal or other food that I offered.
Didn't want to get down from her high chair.
Didn't want to come downstairs with me.

Is still upstairs crying while I feed the baby. Who of course woke up
with all the crying.

With less than a month until she's two. I think the drama has already
set in.

New skill

Before I forget, Sariah has mastered a new skill this week. She can
now open doors all by herself. Now nothing is safe. :)

Nothing better

There is nothing better than a warm sleeping baby in your arms.

The beard

While James was home on his paternity leave (yes his awesome company gives him time off for the baby! WHOOHOO for me!), he decided it was a good time to be lazy and grow a beard.

While I think he grows a good beard, I just personally don’t really like facial hair. I was SOOOO happy to kiss him when he shaved it all off!

Blessed

As I sat having lunch with Sariah today, I told her it was
Thanksgiving. That today is a day we talk about all of our blessings
and be thankful for them. (yes this was just mostly me talking but hey
that's okay). It really struck me how blessed my life is. It isn't
that it is worry free or trial free because that is there, but truly I
have so much.

Just a few things I thought of today:

My two beautfiful and healthy children.
My husband who is the love of my life.
My husband's job that provides for me to be at home with our kids-
this is more recent and I'm especially thankful for it.
My father who is beating the odds everyday.
My own health and having a really good delivery.
God's love for me.

These are just a few things on my mind today.

Late night smile

I know this picture is dark. That is because it is 1:41 in the wee
hours of the morning and I don't turn the lights all the way up for
middle of the night feedings. Tonight I was rewarded with a nice
little smile after eating. Makes it all wonderful!

Bath Time

Here we go time for the first bath. Well if you can really call it a bath. Really it is just a wipe down with a wash clothe.

And no Ben didn’t like it one bit!
