Learning from my son...

Hayden is about to turn five months and as scary as that as for me to say... I have to admit all he's taught me. For years, I've been one of the MOST impatient person I know. After many sleepless nights, hundreds of raunchy diapers, soaked onesies, several empty bottles with a screaming baby and baby vomit all over me... what's not to love about being taught by the life you brought into this world?

First off, Hayden has to be the most amazing baby I've ever seen, in my life! And I'm not just saying that because he's my son. He really is a great baby. He sleeps thru the night, he rarely cries (not even with a crappy diaper... only when he's hungry or teething), loves to cuddle, laughs at himself (pictures and videos), and loves to go for walks. I see so much of his daddy in him. But then again its scary to see all the things of myself I see in him. But nonetheless, he amazes me every single day. I consider myself not only lucky but blessed that I'm able to stay at home and care for him daily while daddy works. We both agreed that it would be a waste for me to go back to work, my checks would go straight to child care. And rest assured that he's well cared for at home and never has to worry about catching the latest stomach bug, flu, or cold from a snot nosed kid at daycare. AMEN!!!

Yesterday Hay and I went to go walk around Target to kill some time and get out of the house for a bit and I finally found the carseat I want him to be in. Since he's ever so quickly outgrowing his current infant carrier, I felt it was most appropriate to find a seat that will still allow him to sit rear-facing until he turns a year old and then forward-face in it until he outgrows it. I'm happy to say that I found THE one that I like the most and I'm so happy its a Graco....


I'm looking forward to my upcoming birthday. I've never been a big "birthday fan" but see is how this will be my first to share with Hayden and my husband, it will be extra special and take away from the fact that I'll be only 3 years away from turning 30!! OMG!!!! :)

Well I better get going, today is daddy's day off and I've been sleeping in, so I better get a move on so we can get out of the house and enjoy the day....
