How did Mommy spend her last day of maternity leave?

Doing cart-wheels...laying on an open highway... and climbing in a salvage yard! And you thought you knew me!

Ready, set...

Twirl!

Runned over! :)

Hit the road jack!

My other favorite guy!

Yes...we are in a salvage yard... (I wonder what you are thinking about our parenting skills right now!)

It's incredible how much Harrison has changed in the last month! This is the hardest part about going back to work. I don't want to miss a thing!

At night we have started a routine... usually playing, bathing, bedtime story, bottle, cuddling, & bed. In between bathing and bed time story we have started to through a fit every night between 8:45 and 9:15 pm. The only thing that will console him is a pacifier or his fist. We haven't quite figured it out yet because until last week...he rejected a pacifier--spitting it out with a vengeance. He has tried to suck his thumb on and off since birth, but it's like his thumb isn't big enough so he just stuffs his fist in there. I guess whatever works! For some reason he just need the extra comfort at night.

I am sure we are in for many changes and hopefully milestones this month!

If I can't eat it...I might as well wear it!!!

SLURP!

What a good big sister!

Everyday...

As I lay in bed awake tonight... I took out a pen and paper and started to write.

Everyday

Every day we prayed for you
Every day you fought a battle
Every day had its ups and downs
Every day was worth waiting for

Every day we prayed for you
Every day we spent together
Every day was filled with uncertainty
Every day we asked God why

Every day we prayed for you
Every day you were our sunshine
Every day we hoped to rejoice
Every day brought it's challenges

Every day we prayed for you
Every day you defied all odds
Every day you fought until you won
Every day you amaze us all
