Apparently, it’s supposed to snow all week! The high is only supposed to be 23 on Thursday! This is after 2-3 days of sunny 65+ degree weather. Oh, Dallas, make up your mind!
On the plus side, the day it’s for SURE supposed to snow is my birthday! Snow flurries for my birthday? I’ll take them.
Last February's snow
I’m pretty convinced. Jesse and I made a BEAUTIFUL baby.
I don’t know how it happened.
I mean, I know how he got here. But I can’t really explain the good looking part.
I was always afraid that we would have really ugly, scary looking children. A few years ago, I used one of those online “face-mixing” programs to “see” what our children would look like. I was completely traumatized. The baby that was produced looked like Frankenstein meeting Hannibal Lector’s darkest fantasy.
Needless to say, I am overjoyed at the relief over having beautiful offspring. Even if the rest of our kids are ugly, we got one that we can marry off to some duchess in Wales (hey, don’t judge I bet YOUR retirement plans are WAY more realistic…)
Here is a link to the complete album of photos. And now, for a few more of my favorites!

This is Jesse's baptismal outfit from 28 years ago!
I love this face
He's BEAUTIFUL!
Love the light!
My precious baby
His laughter makes anything better...
Finally. I never thought that I would rejoice over an hour to do housework, but here I am. I did 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes, tidied the living room. I love that I am now relaxing in a clean house. And G is STILL asleep.
One of the reasons I am so happy that he finally let himself sleep is because we had a terrible night. I think I was awake with him every hour. Something was really bothering him, and I think it has to do with the fact that I drank some milk yesterday. I figured out a few months ago that he gets TONS of gas when I drink milk, so I’ve given up my 2 bowls of cereal every morning in favor of oatmeal or almond milk. I only drank normal milk because we were out of both of the above.
So that could’ve been it. Or it could’ve been that he’s teething (although I don’t see any nubs yet!). Whatever it is, combined with the sinus headache I’ve had going for 3 days straight, I was a GRUMP this morning! Even though I didn’t ask kindly, Jesse took G out into the living room for an hour or two, seeing as he was so fussy he wouldn’t let himself sleep. The poor kid is used to getting at least a 6 hour chunk of sleep every night– I don’t think he slept longer than 3 total. So I guess we were BOTH kinda grumpy 🙂
But not even Jesse could get him to sleep. So what did he do? Read Plato out loud. I guess he figured that he could at least get some studying done, while hoping to bore G into slumber.
Didn’t work.
But now, at 1:30pm, G is finally halfway through his first nap of the day. I basically fed him, gave him his pacifier, sat him in his swing and walked away. He fussed for about 1/2 hour, but I refused to come back. No play time for cranky over-tired babies!!! Thank God it worked– I don’t know what I would have done!
Now that the house is clean, I am reading my Happy Baby Organic Guide to Food for the First 24 months book once more. Seeing as G is 3.5 months old, we will soon be commencing the “Solid Foods Adventure”. Tess bought me some baby food storage cubes for Christmas and I have a food processor. Now, all I need to do is arm myself with the right “how-tos”!
Melissa, the gal who did some photos for Baby G whilst we were home, posted a few more pics on her site. She just finished editing the cd and it’s in the mail, so I should have a few more favorites in a couple days! In the meantime, you can go to her blog for a few more.
Doing crunches in his sleep :)
