O
H!

And by the way, Freddie was weighed today and currently is 14 lbs 15 oz!! and he's so tall he only fits in 6 month old onesies and pjs! (4 months on the 18th!!)

ways to get things done around here...

fell asleep like this: 

This is called the "mom's getting ready really quickly" babysitting position. 

Don't worry; I constantly look over to make sure he's not suffocating.

pretty mainstream. he only lasts about 10 mins here

because he is just slightly small and REALLY has to

use his stomach muscles.

playing with monte. he jumps SO high.

Had the amazing wonderful stupendous SKEENS over!

baby boy:

i love how perfectly rubbery you are when you're waking up and all groggy. i love how you stretch your arms and stick out your little bum and little chest and squish up your face. i love your noises! your sweet purr snore as you sleep, the little gulps and gasps and grunts and sighs. i love your coos, and how, when i talk to you and ask you questions, you get very serious and furrow your brow and influx your voice, seeming to be answering me back about something quite important. and i listen. i can't wait for all the conversations we'll have, all the time we'll spend together, all the fun and games and ideas! i love those darling little big blue eyes looking up at me while you eat.  and that amazing smile! those dimples! it's like when we're smiling at each other and giggling and being silly and secretive, we're the only two people around. i love to nuzzle you, my baby, and cuddle and snuggle and kisses kisses kisses. i love your smell and your super soft skin and your fluffy hair. i love your hair! i love when we each fall asleep while you're eating, then wake and more cuddling. i love being your mama. i will be forever, you know.
frederick.

i love having a dirty little secret with smith...ooooo....

2012 resolutions

New Years Eve was so excellent; I almost forgot I am 27 and a mother...until the next day when I was so tired after staying out LATE and then being up feeding a child a few times and felt like I was hungover...oh well.  It was worth it! And I got TWO good smooches (Freddie's was a bit juicer than Collin's. woooo)
