Some days, this is what our day looks like. A baby boy that is just not a happy camper and a momma that is doing her best to make baby boy a happy camper and keep herself sane. My mother-in-law pointed out that we always seem to stay so calm when our little monster (a term of endearment I assure you) is crying, throwing a fit, or having a total meltdown. I don't feel like I always am calm or have it together when he does, so I'll take the compliment. She also pointed out that whenever this situation is happening we often say, "You're alright...you're fine" to Josh like it's second nature and that maybe us saying it keeps us calm too, like we're reassuring ourselves as well. I never realized that we did it until she pointed it out, but it's so true. I guess we have our own little baby mantra! A total plus is it usually seems to work! Maybe it's because we're just repeating something to Josh that calms him, and maybe since we're repeating something it calms us, but whatever it is we get through the fit, crying, or meltdown without a momma or daddy meltdown too. In our book that is a success! So, here's to our mantra!
Happy Halloween!
Our Trick or Treat night was on Friday and my Handsome Devil and I passed out 12 bags of candy in one hour. I wasn't warned that our block is one of the most popular to hit. Literally moms in mini vans pulling up and 6 kids getting out kind of action.
We're linking up with everyone over at The Paper Mama!
Have a great day everyone!
With Love,
The first week of October we made the trek back to Ohio/Indiana to visit my far away family and celebrate my Great Grandma, Mimi Daisy, turning 100! Might I say this lady looks fantastic for being 100! I told her I can finally call her old at this point, and she found that quite amusing.
It's not very often that you get pictures of your son with his Great Great Grandmother...
But, also getting a picture with his Great Great Grandfather!
Josh had a blast and was showing off his grin to everyone. I think this was outfit two of the day...we went through four I think...oh, the joys of travel with an infant!
It was a day of lots of picture taking, sharing memories, and getting snuggle time in with our boy. Here's the lady of the day with her just plain old grandkids. Funny fact: when we said how about a picture with the grandkids these guys all went to send their own children in for the picture forgetting they were the first grandkids!
It was a long trip with lots of miles put on the car, but so worth it! You only see somebody turn 100 once!
With Love,
Please pray for the family of Gina Brunen. Her battle with cancer ended October 22, 2012 and she returned home with our Heavenly Father.
