Catching up


I started this late, Thomas was seven months old already. But I figured it was my way to talk about stuff with me and share baby stuff, since TC was doing her thing with emails for the family. I am wanting to base this on feedback; i. e. what videos and pictures would be interesting, since I enjoy mostly everything Thomas does...kids at this age are kinda a spectator sport you know.
The picture today is of a messy feeding time, I think he had dropped his spoon. That's okay, we have a whole set handy for events like this....For some this may be an image that confirms why they don't want children, i.e. the crying and mess. However these are fun times if you show a little humility and patience, which is a reason God gives us children you know...Crisis like the above are short-lived and usually you both end up laughing pretty quickly...Remember you are both learning boundaries in everything you do(yes, even as adults)


I remember telling my boss one day that, and she reminded me to enjoy it when I could because they grow up so fast...I get that alot actually, but it doesn't feel like it yet. I still feel like we are catching up on our sleep, despite the fact he is currently sleeping throughout the night now( albeit the thrashing followed occasional yelp for no reason we hear on the monitor in the middle of the night that has us scrambling, only to find him peacefully curled back up again in his crib.)


It is difficult in these times: having both of us work and leaving him with family, however they really enjoy him and it keeps us from leaving him with strangers at a day care. We both have learned how to make the best of our time with him an have been enjoying many milestones lately. Those are for other posts though.

That is the gist of it anyways, isn't it. Make the best of it , don't sweat the small stuff, cause that's all it really is...you'll even be laughing(or bragging) about all the stuff that is aggravating you right now. There have been some diaper changes alone that are comedy fodder for yours truly....
Have a great day.
Evey day is a gift.

Being Thomas' paternal grandmother makes me a teensy-tiney bit prejudiced, but I loved your relaxed writing style and enjoyed reading about my only grandson. What a happy child he is, and smart too. He's certainly brought a heap of joy to me.

Because I live in Fla & see him every several months, I was moist-eyed when I viewed the video of his crawling-scrooching along to reach his plush Mickey Mouse. He reminded me of a cute little inchworm (remember them?), as he hunched up and slid towards his goal.

He's a delight to snuggle. You and Traci brought me a heap of happiness by having him.
