DEAR AUGUST: YOUR DAD.

Monday, April 6th, 2009

dear august,

everyday, your daddy shows me what it is like to be more like Jesus. more than once a day, i am in awe that God deemed me worthy enough to be loved by him. that He deemed me worthy to share life with him.

i desperately hope and i pray that you find someone that loves you so much as to point you to Christ in all that she does.

i love you,
momma

FOUR MONTHS IN PICTURES (11/11-12/11).

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

while browsing back at the last few monthly picture posts i’ve posted, i noticed that i’m pretty much excusing/beating myself up for doing such a poor job at keeping on top of the picture uploading.

i decided to spare you and myself of that this time around.

behind the link are august’s four month pictures. (you’ve probably seen a few of these on facebook if you and i are facebook friends.)

OVERWHELMING DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY OVERWHELMING.

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

august is sleeping in his bassinet right now. he has been sleeping in there for the past few nights.

of course he gets up around four-five and is probably more awake than he was the times before that i’ll feed and lay him back in there…so then, i usually just coax him to lay with me and sleep so i can get a few more hours in and we don’t have neighbors banging against the walls at four am because the baby is screaming at the top of his lungs.

TEN BITS #002.

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

01) i’ve become really crappy at maintaining any online presence that doesn’t have anything to do with twitter. being the huge nerd that i am– this actually makes me feel really guilty. the redeeming thing about this is that i’ve gotten to spend every minute of my time away with my little baby son and that has been wonderful…and something i wouldn’t give up for anything.

02) august is growing more and more every day. it is scary, amazing, beautiful, exciting, and sad…all rolled together. talk about a huge emotional ball of “wow.” for us anyway.

03) a couple of weekends ago, i noticed that august’s started cooing and imitating. whenever we talk to him he grins, opens his mouth slightly, and stretches his neck as if he wants so badly to speak back to me. to be silly, one day, i started making an “ooohh” face and then suddenly switching it to a big open mouth smile…over and over (and yes, i did look as foolish as it may seem that i would). as august watched my mouth intently, he started moving his mouth in similar ways. he doesn’t have it down quite yet but it’s still pretty neat.

04) i had my post-partum check up and everything is healing as it should. i feel pretty great (minus the migraines) but am soooo ready to lose this baby weight already.

05) i am reeeeally excited that autumn is on its way. even though august has no clue, i am all sorts of excited to celebrate his first halloween/thanksgiving/christmas/new year. i’m a sucker for the holidays.

ONE MONTH IN PICTURES (08/11-09/11).

Monday, September 15th, 2008

i have been really crappy at updating this with pictures of august. if you have a facebook and we’re facebook friends, you can see pretty up to the date images there. however, i understand not everyone has a facebook. part of me wants to say, “everybody should have a facebook,” and the other part of me wants to say, “you’re probably better off.”

anyway, so i’m kind of totally jocking sarah and adrian’s picture idea but, really…it’s a good idea for the months like august when i just sucked at keeping this updated with pictures.

also, i am well aware that this post would have come much sooner if i weren’t so anal about the images being the appropriate sizes. this took longer than you’d think it would…especially having a brand new baby and a really seksi husband fighting for my time. i can’t complain.

ENJOY!

DEAR AUGUST: ONE MONTH.

Thursday, September 11th, 2008

while writing out an entry to sum up august’s first month in the world, i decided to write it out in letter form to him to share with him when he’s old enough to care and read about it. i decided that our public blog would be the best way to chronicle this as it would never be lost, won’t take up space, would be easy to type and save, and would be easy to find and make available to august when and if he ever wanted to read it.

this is also late getting up because august really has done a good job of keeping my hands tied…and when they’re not tied, i can promise to you that i’m sleeping or spending some quality time with the hubs (mark) which are all three more important to me than keeping this up to date.
