In our house lately, there have been new things happening. The Hawk is getting his first tooth (it's like they are not babies once they get teeth) and so today I opened the car door to get him out of his seat to find an explosion of poop. (sorry mom's talk about poop) Luckily I was home so into the bath he went. He has also been "almost" crawling. Again not a baby any more once they move! We have also been battling naps. Thankfully he has always slept threw the night, but the day is harder. But thanks to my "baby yoda" we have things semi figured out.
Big bird has been very whiny and clingy to me. Also everything is very dramatic when he gets hurt. But he has been so fun this season! Just like his dad he loves winter and Christmas, and the cabin, and the mountains, and fighting.......the list goes on. He has always spoken very well and clear. So now that he is mastering all the words in our house, it is funny when he gets some wrong, here are a few, yolken (for yolk of the egg), prumes (for prunes), vines (for veins), and somekin (for something). I love it, and we laugh about it. He is just like me, a ham and loves to crack jokes!
Daddy bird has been working hard, but also coming home earlier and the family is very happy about that. He has been loving doing the holiday thing with the boys this year, and even got snow in at his favorite cabin with his buddies. (God knows how to get the man to take a break)
Me, I am just taking it all in and finding myself again, as every mother has to after a baby. (first or fifth) Got myself to run three miles yesterday, and I have hope I am getting back in the swing of running again. Can't wait for spin classes!!
That's us this season so far, hope you all have a great season too!!

This week so far!
So this week has been full of adventure and it is only wed! Sunday Daddy bird went up to the cabin we frequent with some of his old buddies to fix things up for Christmas. Now this wouldn't seem so big if you were anyone else, but since I can remember I have woken up in the middle of the night screaming. i of course can laugh about it now cause it has been a part of me, but my husband did not enjoy it so much when we were first married.(that is a whole other story) But it is very scary at the time of the screa for me, so it make staying home alone terrifying.(again a whole other story)
We live in a new house now and the screaming has gone to almost none! (praise God) So I though I would try to go the night alone, and to my surprise I did it!! (no screams) But then Daddy bird calls in the morning to tell me he is snowed in. (I was jealous) I was stuck home in the wonderful rain storm we were having, and realizing I had to do another night alone.
To top that, i ran out of baby wipes. If anyone has more then one kid under the age of three, you know how FUN it is to go out in the rain with them, unless you need to. So I told myself if I had to I could use paper towels or a wash cloth. Then my lovely neighbor up the street (who is expecting her 13th) said she just had her shower and she is overloaded with wipes and if I would like some. I love having good people living near by.
Also the Hawk has been getting sleep trained! So this means crying in our house and I am ready for him to just catch on already. So by the end of Monday when the Hawk was crying in his crib and big bird would not calm down, I was done, but no daddy bird would be able to come and save me. So of course I prayed and prayed and made it threw!!
So I think I can stop there and let it be, I will have the rest for another day. I am doing great, the hawk still crying in his crib, but daddy bird is home and it brings a sense of peace and happiness back. (cheesy I know, but it's true)

My new favorite friends!!
So this one is dedicated to my newest friends!
First of course is our newest member the Hawk. We have bonded over and above and he brings me so much joy! He does not sleep well (Yet), but is always fairly happy.
Second is mustard (thanks to a Gluten free lady!) I have been trying to get these pounds off, and I ran out of my salad dressing, so to change things up I put mustard on instead.....to my surprise, it was a great change and full of flavor, but 0 calories!! Which brings me to my third. which is the 1 calorie spray Italian dressing I found in my cupboard hiding. I has so much flavor!! I love new dieting friends!
Fourth is a friend that I have known for a while now, the computer, but it is my new friend for my son. The other day, I was spent, and he wanted to play, so I gave up control, found something he could do without my help (to feed baby and get dinner ready)and off he went. He was an old pro! I felt like he was acting like a toddler around me and when I wasn't looking he was a computer wizz!
Now for the friends I miss! My shaver! My legs get pretty bad before I actually have time to get to them, without almost falling asleep.
My mornings, I don't want to sleep in, but there is something about waking up, with out someone needing you right away.
Finally my old friend time! There is never enough of you, but I am learning, what does not get done today, time will come tomorrow.....or the next day......or the next! :)
Hope you enjoyed!!
