I feel like I complain a lot about Motherhood (really, it's just about my diet, pumping, and the forever task of washing bottles). Today, however, was an amazing day. Really wonderful. It's days like this that make me feel so fortunate that I get to stay home and see my little boy grow.
Nothing exciting happened - in fact, quite the opposite. It was a day like any other. He slept until 6:30am (ahhh! Heaven!). I jumped in the shower at 7:30, determined to get a leg up on his schedule. He woke up again at 10am and by that time, I had already made all of the beds, washed the bottles, pumped, checked email/Facebook, and called my parents. We played and read a new book - "The Big Red Barn" - very cute illustrations - and he fell asleep again. I pumped, ate lunch, and finished my "correspondence" (I feel like a true stay-at-home-mom since I now I have time set aside for "correspondence." Who am I, Martha Stewart?) Anyways, after that, we did a little photo shoot (see below), went to Starbucks and then to the grocery store. Gorgeous day to live in Vegas. And then we both took a nap. I drooled on him, he drooled on me. It was a perfect little mom-baby snuggle (though a bit messy).
I just love our little bear to bits. Yesterday, I was ready to put him in a cardboard box on our porch with a sign that read, "Free to a good home." Today, I love him with every ounce of my being.
Motherhood is funny like that. One day you are at your wits end; and then the next day, your heart is exploding with joy.
Such a roller coaster.

Yes, there was a wardrobe change for his 3-month pictures. Sorry. I was getting a little crazy with our photo shoot today.
