Back to Work :(

I decided to head back to work after taking, a very generous,

9 months off.

Are you surprised that I wasn't excited??

The worst part about going back to work was leaving my Roman for a 12 hour shift.:(

* * *

Can you tell how sad he is to have a boys night with daddy?:)

I feel so blessed to be a full-time mom and to have such a flexible career. One night a week away from my boys will be more than enough. :)

Mom's Lucky Charm :)

He's the cutest lucky charm I've ever seen!

. . . . .and I just dare you to disagree.:)

Jack the cat will surely disagree.

One mommy's lucky charm is one kitty's worst nightmare.:)

* * *
This is Roman's devious "I'm going to get you kitty" smile.

Roman LOVES Jack but the feelings are NOT mutual.

Poor Romie. . . or poor Jack??

Despite what the cat thinks this baby boy IS the sweetest lucky charm. . . . . .

and he's all mine!:)

We're HOME!!

Mommy packed me up & daddy brought the Uhaul.

WE'RE HOME. . . . . Wahoo!!

There's nothing better than being back together as a family!

EiGht mONthS!!

My baby boy turned 8 months on Feb.23rd so this post is just slightly overdue but for journaling purposes it must be done.:) The problem is trying to remember what he was doing a month ago compared to now but I'll give it a try.

* * *

8 months:
* Sitting up by himself (falling back on occasion)

* Gut laughing :)

* Taking small sips from a sippy cup

* Loves to eat small bits of fruit

* Scoots himself around on his tummy

* Rolls all over

* Occasionally gets up on hands and knees to rock

* Does NOT like getting dressed or undressed

* Clicks his tongue

* Plays more actively with his toys

and

* His favorite person is still mommy :)

Roman enjoys playing mostly with things that aren't his toys. And don't judge me because my baby is playing with a ziploc bag. :) It's totally safe right??

This is how big boys play on their mat. :)

Roman & cousin Wyatt playing at Grandmas with her fun toys.

And this is cousin Wyatt clapping for Roman because he rolled over.:)

"This is not what it looks like mom." :)

Roman's 1st time eating "finger fruit". Mango....... yummy!

Roman scooted himself into a corner and got ticked when he couldn't get out. He hasn't quite figured out how to scoot forward yet.

Maybe Roman is getting too big for his swing but he still loves to fall asleep in it so we're sticking with it for now. :)

Roman and Papa are BFFs!

This baby boy is going to be 1 year old before I know it!!! That is just crazy! But I'm getting excited to plan his birthday party.:) Not too over the top but I want to have fun with it.
