Having kids is awesome.

A few things I'm loving right now...

(1) On Sunday I pulled this bad boy in from the garage and we made a "boat" for Riley.  She loves it.  Big time.  And of course she promptly asked me to get in with her a draw her a hexagon! a circle! a trapezoid! etc... (And those two extra big circles are meant to be steering wheels, in case you were wondering...)

(2) Over the weekend I went to a used children's clothing sale, and found a bunch of Mickey Mouse clothes in Jackson's size.  I thought Riley would be stoked since she LOVES Mickey, I mean look at this awesome shirt (and cute baby!):

Instead, she was confused... She couldn't understand why she could see Mickey's body, but not his face.  She kept saying "Wanna see Mickey! Mickey?"  Hmmm...

(3) I'm absolutely loving watching the bond between Riley and Jackson grow.  He's obviously still really young, but Riley just loves him more and more each day.  She now gets sad and sometimes cries when he has to go down for a nap, and asks to "go see baby?" about a million times.  And then when he wakes up she YELLS "Yaaaaaaayyyy! Baby awake now!!!" She wants to share everything with him and show him all her things.  But she always makes sure she asks me first, to see if what she wants to do is okay with me.  And I MOSTLY let her do what she wants, things like "pour pom poms on baby?"

"Put black pom pom on baby's head?"  Sure, go for it.

Her next request was to "pour coins on baby's head?" which quickly got vetoed. 

(4) Precious little baby hats. Even if he can't wear them anymore since they aren't 100% cotton and we're trying to eliminate all non 100% cotton items in attempts to help his eczema.  Just put away a good chunk of his wardrobe, actually... More on that later.

(5) Riley mimicking/copying everything Jackson does.  Her fave is when he tries to put both his hands in his mouth.

(6) The light in our house.  So much light, all day long, which allows for taking photos all day long, and even trying some new things... a bit "moodier," not my usual style, but I like it.

(7) Riley's hair. Hellooooo little curly!
may28-10
(8) Jackson napping in his crib.  This isn't how he usually naps, normally he's swaddled on his back, but he was fighting it and so I rolled him on his side and he went to sleep (with a little shushing and patting).  Only lasted 40 minutes, but it's a start!  And I didn't dare wake him by taking a photo, so a photo via the monitor will have to do.

(9) Riley's many expressions.  I just kept snapping away, and she just kept being cute.

(10) A little self portrait action.  Not the most flattering, but who cares.  It's me and my baby.
may28-15
(11) These squishy cheeks and big blue eyes and big bald head.  I just can't get enough of him.
may28-14
(12) Riley's fabulousness.  The girl is FUNNY.  Wait until you see the video I'm working on.  Oi.
may28-13
I'm sure there's more, but we'll stop there for now. I meant to stop at 10 but had to add the last two. :)
