So as you can see ... it's been awhile since my last post. This photo was taken when we went for "A Day Out With Thomas" recently.

Little boys eventually all fall in love with trains, this is a truth I have learned to accept. Of course it helped that my son now sleeps with a battery operated Thomas the Train that just HAD to be purchased after this trip. And no the life of a WAHM is NOT this glamorous. This trip was a big thank you and shout out from the fabulous Gramma.


To further update on "the dude" or "monkey" he is doing marvelously. It seems we did hit a bump in the development road and he was officially diagnosed as speech delayed a little over a month ago. That is just fine though, I have faith he just doesn't have much to say yet ;)

I love this little guy so much and my only regret is that his brother and sisters don't yet have the opportunity to know him. Thats okay too though, all in good time I suppose. He just reminds me of each of them in all of those small ways that mean so much to a mom. I'm starting to invest more time (and a lot more patience) into my beauty routine, discovered some really fantastic cosmetics at a true bargain after being pissed off (and on) by one of my favorite brands. I'll be sure to post more on them later ... I am wearing solely them (except foundation) in this photo, so that says something.

Well it is late everyone and I will undoubtedly have an early morning :)

Christmas is Coming ....

Jude's First Christmas is in 19 days!!! I can't believe it, it seems like time is just flying right by. I can remeber the day I brought him home like it was yesterday, and while our lives have included plenty of changes over the last year since discovering I was pregnant, I am so glad to have him here with me.

He is such a happy baby most of the time, but shopping trips just KILL him, all boy through and through ...lol. We went and bought the majority of his christmas last week, a few toys, mainly clothes... lets face it, at 8 months old he'll be more interested in the wrapping paper anyway. He is suprising us all by meeting ALL of his milestones, and surpassing some, despite being nearly 5 weeks premature.

Now if only I could convince him that he doesn't have to have one hand attatched to me .. at ... all ... times ... We'd have it made in the shade.
