Am I Mom Enough? A Motherhood Wish List

Am I Mom Enough? A Motherhood Wish List

 Love this!

Daddy and Beckett

 Beckett woke up from a nap early and so he and Daddy got some snuggle time together on the couch. (Note Beckett's crazy nap hair.) It may also have been Beckett's first time watching one of Daddy's favorite shows, Top Gear.

Beckett and the Stairs

 Yeah, I just went from crawling on the tile floor to climbing the stair and now I'm sitting on the step like I own it.

 No big deal.

 But all this climbing makes me tired!

Joanne and Alex came up Wednesday to spend the afternoon with Mama Lovebo and the babies. Theo and Beckett were very relaxed and in good moods, though not so excited about the quiche served for lunch. We had a wonderful and fun visit and Joanne and Alex got to practice their grandparenting skills for a new baby Miner, due in July!

Heidi let us borrow an awesome little music table that T&B can pull up on and cruise all around. The noise, songs and music has not yet totally made me crazy, which is another bonus. We've also picked up a couple other new (to us) toys lately that we're waiting to introduce--a Little People car garage with ramp and lift, and a barn set with animals. Hooray for Multiple Moms Mingle and cheap used toys!

Hiking at Clark Reservation

It's supposed to get humid and hot today, with a chance of showers, so we got up bright and early this morning to hit the trail at Clark Reservation. I wish walking the cliff trail was less like bouldering, but we found a woods trail away from the lake that was even and quiet.

Crafting

Just saw this page today and look forward to using some of these ideas for rainy/snowy days with the boys.

PS The sleeping through the night did NOT last, which I actually prefer--if they wake up once to eat, they don't wake up in the morning starving and impatient. Plus they sleep longer.

The start of good things?

Last night the boys slept from 7pm to 6:30am, with no wakeups. They were eager to eat when they did wake up but Mama Lovebo slept well through the night! Unfortunately we didn't get to sleep until nearly midnight after a great, impromptu visit from our neighbors and friends Mark and Mindy and their kids. But it was all worth it!

This weekend we're looking forward to visits with both sets of grandparents!
