last of our lazy dazy's

Hmmm...it's late at night or early in the morning depending on which way you choose to look at things. You and I are still sleeping on the couch, enjoying our last few precious days of summer vacay before you start going to Sally's and I to school. After August 16th, we will no longer lounge on the couch late into the night watching Big Brother and Medium. I suppose we will sleep in bed with daddy like normal...I think he's lonely with Maggie and Ollie and sometimes Max the cat. Don't get me wrong, at first I think he liked having the bed to himself, but now I think he misses us wriggling around trying to get comfy and nurse during the night and me trying to keep him from conking you on the noggin during the night :)

You are such a little person now days. You are snoozing now leaning up against me on a pillow. You really are beautiful to me and to daddy too. We take pictures of you several times a day it seems. And never just one...we always take several, just in case?!

Today was a pretty normal day for us. Daddy woke us up just to say "goodbye" and kiss us both before leaving for the bank. You usually nurse and snooze for about 30 mins. to an hour after he leaves. We then watch Little House on the Prairie. Now, this is important information about mommy. I used to watch this show with my Grandma Headrick when I was a little girl. I read all of the books when I was a little girl. I was so little when I read the first one that I cannot even remember reading it for the first time!? Anyway, growing up I read and re-read the books. I also had a Little House cookbook that I read so many times it fell apart. Grandma Pat put it in a zip-lock bag so that I could keep it together. I would always read it when I would eat alone, I even took it to college with me! I have it at school in my closet, I'm sure it will still be there when you get around to wondering where it is. I also have a copy of Little House in the Big Woods that is signed by the illustrator. I brought it home to read to you this summer, but we haven't gotten around to a chapter book yet. What else about Little House??? Ummmm, mommy, Aunt Blair, and Uncle Cole used to go with Grandma Pat on road trips during the summers when we were little. We would frequently visit Ben Franklin's in _____________ I cannot remember the name of the town!? Anyway, after shopping for fabric for Grandma Pat, a couple of times we ventured to Mansfield, MO to visit one of Laura Ingalls Wilder's homes, and a museum. Sounds cheesy, but we all loved those books so much, and we still do. While I was pregnant with you, I couldn't stand the smell of the teacher lounge during lunch, so I would stay in my room to eat and I re-read The Little House Books!

So after watching Little House on the Prairie, we decided to go swimming. Your first suit is an adorable Juicy Couture pink one piece...suuuper cute! Since we have a pool in our back yard, we can swim whenever we want, as long as there is shade. After swimming, you wanted a bottle, and a nap. Then daddy came home for lunch. You love to talk to your daddy, and play with him when he comes home! Later after daddy left, neighbor Jaynee came to visit and then Kayla, Halle, and Jaynee went swimming. We couldn't swim b/c mommy and daddy workout on Monday nights and you spend time with grandparents. Tonight you went to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa H. and Aunt Blair. You played pat-a-cake and watched signing shows online. After we left, we ate dinner and then Grandma and Grandpa B., Aunt Brooke, and Uncle-to-be-Darrick came over to visit. When they left you were asleep, and daddy and mommy took lots of pics of you sleeping...you are soooooooo precious!

Today was pretty typical for us...lots of playing and loving...doesn't get any better than this! I can't believe our lazily perfect summer schedule will soon be replaced with school, daycare, coaching....with life. Ugggh, I'm not prepared to think about that tonight though. I'm just going to enjoy watching you sleep and watching Big Brother After Dark...ahhhh perfection :)
