Hello Blog, it's me your Daddy...
So I'm temporarily back from hiatus- I have time to write this morning because it's not so busy. It's Columbus Day yet I'm still here at work. What's been the haps since I last wrote... oh say about a month ago!?!?! Well let's break it down in a handy dandy list, shall we?
- On the 19th, James went to his first White Sox tailgate!!! His eyes were busy the entire time soaking everything in. He had some fries, nachos, and even some cotton candy. Even though I'm not a Sox fan I'm forced to go because it's Hubby's family tradition... and lo and behold- James is donning a Sox T -- BOOO! James you break Mommy's heart. He's got a Cubs outfit too but it was too big at the time, otherwise I would have totally made him wear that lol.
- On the 26th, we went apple picking for the first time with James. James thoroughly enjoyed it. He was even munching on an apple at the orchard. I love doing things with our little family. It reminds me of my childhood when we used to go apple picking yearly.
- On the 2nd, James attended his first wedding... but he didn't make it to the reception. He took a big dumpie dumpie during the ceremony and exploded on his nice clothes. Good thing Grandpa's house was nearby, we had to change him and ended up just spending time with his Ninong there.
- This past weekend was stay-in weekend. It was nice to just be home for once. We're always so busy on weekends that we never have time to rest... We were in for the weekend except for a short trip to Darien and to the grocery store.
James has been surprising us with so many things! He is so vocal nowadays and so very active! He is crawling around everywhere in the house now. Learning to climb over obstacles. And also cruising on the furniture - he's even gotten to like pushing his walker around and walking with it like that. He is saying more words and expressing himself a lot more. He can wake 'bye bye,' make jokes, laugh, and even show dislike. The other day Grannie was asking him "where's your daddy?" and he cracks up looks right at me and points!!! Yea that's right - I'm Daddy! I'll take it for now... any acknowledgement is good I guess. =(
So I guess that concludes our post... oh wait, what about me you ask? What have I been up to?
Well, I've been busy running after the little guy as you know. Not only that, I'm busy honing my cooking skills. Now that James is eating real food and transitioning from baby food I find myself cooking a lot more - which is good but tiring. I make Sunday my cooking day. I get to cook for the week and just Tupperware everything! And who's bright idea was this? Hubby's. While he and James watch football Mommy's -- errr Daddy's in the kitchen cooking her heart away. Time to time James finds his way in and stays with me exploring my cabinets and cookware all the while Oreo is waiting at my feet for scraps. Nap times then are my craft times. While James snoozes I'm crafting like a madwoman making decorations and crafts for James' 1st Birthday Party. I've already made his birthday banner, his invites are ready to be sent out, I've made most of his party hats... I'm learning to make the pom poms that go on top of the hats, and I'm also starting to make the decorations. I'm hoping I'll be done before Thanksgiving - his party is the 1st weekend of Decemeber.
So my life is as good as can be. I'm a happy little housewife; crafting and cooking away like a SAHM on the weekends and during the week I work my arse off to be able to pay the bills... a C'est la vie the double life of this mighty wife! In the coming weekends we plan on going Pumpkin Picking - so excited to take James. I love that we have a baby... he is such a good excuse to be able to do all the things I've always wanted to but didn't have to growing up. We are also planning for a Thanksgiving trip to California... looking forward to that!!
Until next time friends.
