One of those "mom" moments.

Kinda funny story. I fed Thatcher right before we went to the chiropractor tonight (fed meaning I nursed him, sorry if that's TMI but it's relevant to the story) and as I was about to hand him off to Ben to change his diaper I realized he must have peed one too many times in that diaper so it leaked out. I threw Ben a new outfit for Thatcher to wear that I thought was on the "clean" pile of clothes in his room. Then we load up in the car to go. It's then that I realized I gave Ben a dirty outfit caked with baby food around the collar to put on Thatcher. I also realized that the shirt dress I was wearing had a big wet spot. Yup, when I was feeding him and he peed it leaked on me and I didn't notice. So I ran inside and changed both of us, right? Nope. I went to the Dr. smelling like pee with a dirty-clothes baby.

Ben just showed me how Thatcher can take a handful of steps forward using his little walker/car toy. Scary.

(This is the toy so you have an idea, I don't know why amazon has it for $99 when it's like $18 at Target

I'm so in love...

With these two songs right now.






I think we may be introducing this second song to the congregation in October the Sunday I'm up to sing. So excited.

8 months and all that jazz.

It's almost 5am. Thatcher woke up about an hour ago, I think he was chilly, so I patted him down, put a blanket on him and he's out. He's doing better with sleeping through the night, and I'm trying to read Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child to help me help Thatcher sleep better. I'm only on the second chapter, I feel like the author is kind of using scare tactics so it makes me a little nervous, but I'm hopeful it will help. Anyways for some reason I'm up instead of being back in bed. So why not blog :)
He is 8 months old today. I can't believe it. It's like he was just born yesterday. I LOVE him as a baby, but the older he gets the more fun it is to hang out with him. He is a talker and so mobile and all over the place now, I can't imagine how much more mobile he'll be when he can walk. Thatcher is also really paying attention when I sing stuff to him, like the ABC's and the books of the bible. For some reason I always get stuck after Song of Songs, so I'm hoping singing it to him will help me get them all memorized. One of the things I'm most excited about is teaching him about Jesus and for him to lead his bedtime prayers with Mommy and Daddy. He's such a good boy, and hilarious. I think he gets that from his mom.
It's Labor day weekend, which means it's officially fall, woo-hoo! Fall is by far my favorite time of year. Perfect weather, and tons of excitement in the air. In the movie You've Got Mail, Tom Hanks says something about it reminding him of a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils.

"But, oh, I love my life And all that jazz."
