Happy Times

I titled this post "happy times" because being a mother has been one of the happiest times of my life. Although waking up at 3 a.m. isn't my favorite thing in the world, I wouldn't trade cuddling, feeding, smiling, talking, or hanging out with G for anything! I just told Chico today that being a mom is the best job I've ever had, and if you know me, you know that I really, really loved being a teacher. I loved teaching my 6th graders and my high schoolers, and if that's the case, then how much more I will love teaching my children -- not only everyday things like eating and walking, but also essential gospel principles. How lucky I am!
Here are some little nuggets of what we've been up to. G accompanies me on outings and he loves his car seat. I wish I had a bed shaped like his car seat then he would sleep better. Actually, he has been sleeping a lot better lately. The last two nights he's slept almost seven hours in a row. Woo hoo! I can't wait until its every night. I love the weekends too because Chico can be home with us all day to help out and just be with us.

All snuggled up in his car seat! It's been cold up here in Rexburg, so we bought this "Cozy Cover" to keep G all warm and cozy.



I love, love, love my little boy! (He's in his special Halloween jammies)

See? He gets to hang out with Dad sometimes too!

with both girls, for the first few months (like 6) i would put a blanket over their carseat (so they dont get tangled in the straps) and just let them sleep in it. on the couch, in their crib... wherever. works like a dream (punny! :)

He is adorable. I am glad you are enjoying motherhood though I am sure it is a growing experience.
