Hello….it’s me

Man. Has it been 2 months since I’ve last posted? That’s crazy. It’s felt like a WEEK at best.

Time flies in the summertime. Why is it the busiest time of year? Every single weekend there ‘s things to do and people to see.

Working full-time during the week and although the sun is up until 8:30/9pm, this girl is getting ready for bed around 9 pm. That doesn’t leave much time for anything, especially since right after work you essentially turn into “mom-mode”. And I don’t have the drive to stay up late. I never did. And Elliot, he’s a morning bird. He sleep great (thankfully) but he’s defintely an early riser like his mom.

So you may be asking (or not) but what have we been up to in the last 2 months?

We’ve transitioned to TWO naps a day. We swam in the pool and touched the sand and the ocean. We’ve upgraded to our big-boy carseat. We’re a total HAM at daycare and get all the attention. We’ve made beautiful artwork. We’ve been completely and utterly obsessed with being outside, Molly and water play. He loves to turn the pages in every book. He is EATING so many solids. He loves people food. Also loving on milk of course.

So as you can see, it’s been a whole lot of nothing, but a lot of “firsts” and some nice down-time with the family. Summer time has to be one of my favorite times of year. Everything just seems so bright and happy. The weather is generally nice. I thrive being outside, it does wonders for my mental health. I can do without the mosquitos though. They eat me like I’m an addiction. It’s amazing how a few minutes outside and I come back in with at least 5-10 bites.

So yes, please find me a place without them. Because I’m moving there.

But really, the last 2 months has flown. Elliot is getting so big. His personality is really shining and he is a goofball. He has his first tooth and I believe he is working on a second! He’ll be 8 months in 2 days. I really can’t believe it.

Until next time, this girl is off to bed.
