2 months old

our silly boy is two months old today. happy monthaversary, sammy!

"we miss you" or "fun with paper, scissors, and sam"

what sammy starts thinking at about 6 o'clock on days when mike is travelling.

pillow talk

i finished my pillow cover and sam was nice enough to pose with it. today he's 8 weeks old and smiling more than ever. i'm having a hard time thinking about being back at work next week. being with sam is way more fun (and way harder!)

chair switcheroo

we decided to move the rocking chair to the living room, and the big chair from our room to sam's. it'll be great for storytime and midnight snacks and such (mmm...comfy). i decided it could use a slipcover though, not just because it didn't go with my color scheme, but because i'm all about things that can be washed in case of accidents (hence the two futons with removable, washable covers). we got this great red slipcover from target.com. it arrived yesterday and was sent into action directly. i'm now working on a pillow cover with leftover fabric from this project.

fabulous 5

today marks 5 fabulous years of being married to the bestest boy ever. to mark the occasion, sam and i went shopping. five is the "wood" anniversary, so we decided on these wood building blocks. sam seemed to think they'd be fun for the whole family. i think he's right.
here's to many more happy years! thanks, mike, for being my better half!

surprise

from mike. isn't he a sweetie?

the most important thing i learned this week

i can handle the major head-to-toe poopy diaper blow-out, the kind that requires scrubbing down the changing table and a bath for both me and sam (not just an outfit change), and still be able to smile for sammy and not lose my patience. still, i have to say...hooray for disposable wipes!
