*sigh*

It's been so busy I have been neglecting you, dear blog.

And I just neglected you yet again. D came up to me holding three books so we had to read. We always argue about that dang cow. He calls it a dog, I say cow, dog, cow, dog, cow, dog, cow, at least we can agree that it says "moo."

What was I typing about? Ah, yes. Being busy. My best friend's wedding is in less than a month, her shower is next weekend, my house is still in pieces, the AC decided to go out, Daniel is a bit demanding being 18 months old and all, I have workshops, I am even giving one (!) on podcasting, so you can imagine that my blog might just fall to the wayside a bit.

I should be able to add some pictures shortly because my camera charger was finally located. We can thank Daniel for that one. :)

Feeling a blog remodel coming on...

I do this about once a year (or more). It'll take me a while....I'm thinking of something simple.

I apologize for not updating in a while. I've been busy since school let out. Will update soon!

My kid's a dork (like me!)

That weird language thing

Everyone said that it would happen at around 18 months. A light switch would flip and his language would explode. And so it has.

He has learned more words in the past three weeks than in his first 17 months of life. I can see him putting things together. It is amazing. I feel so privileged to be able to witness and contribute.

He concentrates so hard when trying to get a new word down and I can tell he has so much more to say than he can actually find the words for. Since this new language explosion he has help with his tantrums immensely and I am seeing even more of his goofy personality emerge.

Being a mom is the coolest job ever.

Summer Vacation: Day 1

D is running around the house beating everything in sight (dog included) with a giant rubber mallet of Trey's.

That was on the agenda for next week. What are you going to do now? I guess I'll have to move up sawing and welding a few days.

Another FTT "Suck It"

Dear Failure to Thrive,

I think of you often. I think of how you made my son weigh 9lbs at 4 months old. I think of the sleepless nights and the hundreds of tears. I think of how skeletal and unhealthy he looked and how completely scared I was.

So hear me now FTT: Daniel is 18 months old, pushing 30 pounds and wearing a size 2T.

So suck it.

Love,
Jamie

Kitchen Renovations...Part 2

Before you watch this just please know that I am a GIANT dork and apparently like the sound of my own voice.
