obviously on break...
no school, so i apparently have time to blog.
first the mush. in case i don't say it enough, i cry a lot. all the time. not sad tears, but anything that has to do with growing up, having a baby, falling in love, brushing your teeth, the list could go on. i am writing this with tears in my eyes from watching Friends. i miss that show... but should i be tearing up? probably not.
now, i feel confident enough in my love for mason, and in the fact that everyone knows i love mason to say this: there are things about being a mom that are annoying... take today for example. mason woke up whining, and continued to whine, all. morning. long. bugs. but usually he is a pretty happy little guy and i think his tummy is bothering him, so i am willing to let that go.
another thing? overall, nrsing has been great. but those books about nursing lie to you. the authors are either women that get paid to tell you it is nothing but sunshine snuggles and kisses, or they are male. i haven't figured out which yet. really, overall, i have had an easy experience with nursing. minimal pain, only one infection, good supply, but my son has decided that i am his personal security blanket. you know those kids that hold their blanket between two fingers and just move it back and forth. thats my skin. gah. where was that in the book? liars. i love nursing. i will do it again for sure. i love the closeness... but his time is coming. gah
now i feel bad for writing this down, although i thought it, so i guess the damage is done. tomorrows a new day! hears to hoping my smiley man is back.

just pictures...
we don't see enough of this mason... :)
how cute is this guy!?
my kitchen is a WAR ZONE
night out
happy birthday B!! pretty earrings.....
dad LOVES cuddle time with mason
FAT
lots of pooping and messing eating = LOTS of baths
10 months old and still needs the moby sometimes...
seriously handsome
lots of highchair pics... the only time he is still.
love him
Christmas
new warning: this post is a little religous...
i should be writing a paper. i will, but in a minute... Christmas is here, and having a baby around the holidays makes everything so much more.... more. i don't know how to explain it. i think of everything. i think of how to tell him about the Christmas story, and how to tell him about santa. how tomake sure he thinks of people less forunate, and what his first ornament should look like. on and on and on.
i have always believed in the story of baby Jesus, but having my own baby boy makes the story so much less of a story. i look at Mason walking, yelling, eating, smiling, crying and can't help but wonder if baby Jesus did the same...
happy birthday Jesus.

3 people
there are probably 3 people (and that is stretching it...) that read this. one of you already knows this story, so this is for the other two. :)
mason, as you know, has turned me into a MUSH ball. i am in car, on my way home, and stopped at a stoplight. there is this little old man, sloooooooooooooowly crossing the street. hobbling. adorable. so adorable.
i'm watching him cross the street, with his little cane.
and the tears start coming, and keep coming.
all i can think, is that cute old man, the one with the cane, was someone's baby. someone cooed at him, burped him, helped him walk....
and mason will (God willing) be that old some day... sauntering across the street.
*sigh*
can't he stay a baby forever? i'll take the sleep interruptions if he will just stay as he is.

9 months
my sweet baby,
nine months. how has it been nine months? you have slipped into our lives and burrowed yourself into our hearts, and it's true, we can't remember what life was like without you.... you have humbled me quite a bit my sweet boy. i always thought that i would have the whole mom thing figured out by 6 months. 6 months flew by, and i still feel as clueless today as i did the first time i held you.
i love you more and more everyday.
you have taught me a lot about myself, a lot about my flaws, and even more about how little i am aware of. you have opened my eyes to the importance of letting go and letting god. soemtimes when i rock you to sleep i am struck with thoughts of how much i love you and then struck again with how much more god loves you. it is hard to think, but he knows you even better than i. i know your mannerisms, he knows the hairs on your head.
i am trying to wrap my head around how you have gone from a sweet snuggly 8 lb 9 oz peanut, into a 18.5 lb, 30 inch tornado! you are alllllllways on the move. but you still love to cuddle the mom. i have heard a saying that having a child is like allowing a piece of your heart to wander around outside of your body.... its true.
i love you buddy, you have my heart, you are my heart.

OMG
MAKE THIS.
right now.
i wanted to make chicken tonight, but needed something to spice it up... had some balsamic vinegar, and decided to start google searching for what to do with it. came across this recipe, and decided to try it. i left out the parsley, sesame seeds, and i used chicken breasts rather than drumettes. but i want to make a gallon of that sauce and pour it on everything. potatoes, rice, chicken, pork, steak, vegetables, cereal, ice cream... well, you get the picture. its amazing. sweeter than i thought i would like, but really, its really good. REALLY GOOD.
go make it.
now.
