Thursday Thoughts

It's Thursday mid day, and I'm caught between going to the gym, or getting in the shower and doing gym later tonight. I've finished my secretary job duties for the day (did I mention I started a little part time job?) and the chattering coming from Calvin's crib has turned Into silence as he's lulled himself to sleep. 

So here I sit. On me couch. Being lazy. And thinking...

I can't believe my babe is going to turn one next Saturday... 

I need to go to party palace and get some red straws for the "mustache bash" we are throwing for cal...

I hope Tyler gets the right stamps to put on the invites...

I should probably curl my hair and put on makeup today...

I need to make my grocery list...

I need to go buy some flowers for my new vases...

The dishes in the sink... I should probably do those...

I think I'm gonna go shower... Gym can wait till later.

So I know im a bit late on my monthly update on Calvy, but he is officially ELEVEN months old! I honestly cant believe he is almost one... we pretty much treat him as though he already is haha. Its horrible right? I almost feel as though its my fault he is growing up so fast because we keep expecting so much out of out little over achiever. I have to keep reminding myself to just STOP sometimes and enjoy rocking him to sleep instead of putting him in his crib, or wishing he didn't have to be entertained all the time so I can watch tv in peace. Just STOP. These are the moments I should be cherishing the most. My baby is growing up. And its breaking my heart every time I STOP to think about it. At 11 months Calvin is a professional walker and even runner! And I STILL think it is the cutest thing on the planet to watch him walk... he is still sooo small for his age. He has lost almost two pounds in the last two months... im blaming it on the walking and constantly being on the move. He loves to play chase,, peek a boo, and hide and seek. He loves to snuggle his stuffed lion and giraffe (melts my heart every time). He also loves to go anywhere and everywhere! He is not a home body, that's for sure. He still loves to give snuggles and kisses and im not even mad about it ;) Calvin is not a big fan of baby food anymore. He will eat greber organic bananas and mangos and that is it! so he mostly just eats whatever we are eating...table foods. I have been on a bit of a healthy kick myself lately, and I make a green smoothie every day for lunch and I always find myself sharing with Calvin haha. He goes to bed between 9-10 and wakes up around 3 for a bottle and sleeps till around 9. He takes a morning and afternoon nap, each about 1-2 hours at least. As far as likes and don't likes go, He is pretty much the same babe as he has been his whole 11 months of life. And he is still so well mannered. ugh... we just love him love him. Don't get me wrong guys, he throws his fits and cries when he doesn't get what he wants sometimes. But if im being completely honest, I hardly have room to complain. We honestly think he is the cutest babe we have ever beheld. God truly outdid himself with the sweet spirit he sent to Tyler and I.

A beautiful life

Last night AND today I've gotten to rock Calvin to sleep and enjoy his snuggles. He's had a bad diaper rash the last couple days, so that's probably why. I'll take what I can get, though! Snuggles aren't easy to come by lately! Little boys are way to busy for them I guess. But it is nice to be reminded that he still enjoys to be snuggle by his momma every now and then. 

So here I sit with all the lights off, tv off, a little Enya playing on pandora, and my babe snuggled into my chest with his blanket. Can it get better than this? I think not. 

It's the perfect time for me to go through my camera role on my phone and reminiss on the past. I am truly so blessed. I have the most beautiful life, surrounded by beautiful friends and family. I am so blessed.  

And I'm just... So grateful. 

Happy Monday everyone.
