Photos of Festivus

I am having writers block. So here are pictures to chronicle the events of our Christmas week.

3rd Annual Christmas Eve drive through the old Waterbury neighborhood.

Favorite Things

Some of my favorite things as a mom...

1. I love it when I am nursing and we make eye contact and I get this big cheesy grin from the little guy.

2. I love watching other people hold him and play with him. It's fun to see how he interacts with other people.

3. I love watching hubby read him a goodnight story. And baby just watches him so close and smiles when he isn't looking.

And of course another picture.

Getting ready to go out in the -20 windchill weather.

Time goes fast. He was so tired by the time I got him dressed he was so relaxed and ready to go to sleep. I guess the bath did what I was hoping it would. I know same pose different outfit- I will try to work on the creativity

This one is for the sneaky mommy!

"It's like waiting for the cable guy"

I am feeling good and feeling like getting out and finishing some Christmas shopping and I find myself waiting at home for the Dish guy to come anywhere between noon and 5 pm. It's like being stung by a million bees or be stuck on an airplane on the tarmac for days.

Tuesday Musings

What is it about the 'Phantom Cry'? I hear it everywhere. Like when I turn the shower on. I turn it off and go to check and all is silent. I hear it while I am getting my hair cut. I hear it when the music is on. I heard about this phantom cry before he was born and it really truly exists. So weird. I just want to comfort this phantom baby and keep it from crying.

Why am I entertained watching HS kids slip and slide up the steep snowy road in front of our house?
Does the girl with slip on shoes really think she is going to be able to push the car up hill on a snow covered road?
How many high schoolers does it take to push a car up hill on a snow covered road? 3? Nope 4 might do the trick.
How many are going to get stuck all in the same place? 5? 6? every which way.
Amateurs.

Why do all the cars get stuck right in front of the dining room window?
Hope no one crashes in the yard.
Why is my "Why" highlighted in yellow? Can't get it off.

I am so happy my baby slept 6 hours straight again last night. He did it Saturday night. The next night, not so good, last night we may be getting the hang of this. Maybe...

I hear a cry, is it the Phantom baby? Nope it's the real one. Better go give some hugs and snuggles.

Finally caught it on camera

So brief
yet so sweet
it's hard to capture the moment.
