Long For The Flowers

I kept wondering when the wonderment of being your mother would wear off. I  learn something new every day, I've come to the conclusion that life with you will always be filled with amazement.  It's your first Easter, and yes... I dressed you like a bunny!!! You were so cute. We spent the day with Nana and Papa eating and playing cards. And of course, you were the highlight of the Day. 

Another time we went to Nana's and Papa's house, Papa had gotten you a new walker which is working to help strengthen your legs. You started bouncing around and had the biggest grin on your face, so this was definitely a great buy. It's great to have family adore you like we do, plus it helps mom and I have date time together. Today you bounce, yell, then suck your fingers and yell and laugh. It was fun to watch.  Nana and Papa live in Aurora (which is about 35 to 40 minutes away), kinda far away from us but Nana has to have you every other weekend. Having you in the house with them is great. They completely focus on you while you are over and this weekend. Uncle Z came by hang out with them and to see you.

Eating Oatmeal for the first time and getting better at eating. I think you really enjoy it. 

Some days, I'm doing well enough just to get through the daylight hours with you alive and fed.   Those are the times when the lack of sleep and constant attention gets the most out of me. Most days I'm drowning in laundry and cleaning up mess after mess.   During those times, I leave the TV on all day and never change out of my pajamas.   And when Chris get home from work in he will find food delivery on the table instead of a home-cooked meal. But really something I need to run from the messes and the never ending 'To Do List' and go spend the day with family at the park. The mess will be there when I get home.  Shauna with Blake Brenden holding Ryleigh Shauna and Ryleigh Brenden and Blake Dillon
