New Category

It feel really nice outside right now. I'd love to believe that fall is just around the corner and we'll have decent weather for a little while. But I'm sure it'll go back up to 90s again any day now.

The kids. They are getting so big. I got sad because I was looking at clothes online and realized that they aren't in the Newborn 0-9 month category anymore. They are in the Infant/Toddle 12m-24m category. What happened to my very teeny tiny babies?(Actually they are wearing 6-9mth right now, but I won't get to buy in the newborn category anymore.)

Jason is such my boy. I love him so. He's everywhere. And he loves for me to come after him. He'll crawl away, stop, turn and look at me. Then he laughs and crawls faster. I'm really in for it when he learns to run. Last night I said to him, "Mommy's still faster!" But I wonder for how much longer! He's trying very hard to figure out how to stand up without holding on to something. And all those raspberries on his belly (that send him into a fit of giggles) as paid off. He now blows them on my arm.
When he gets tired, he'll come crawl in my lap for a minute. Then he'll put his head down. Just for a second, for a quick cuddle. It melts me. His laugh is unbelievable.


And then there's my Reagan. My little princess. Her eyes make me want to squish her all the time. I love her to pieces. She's so happy. I hope every day that she stays that happy forever. She laughs at Daisy. She thinks that dog is the most hilarious thing ever. (And she doesn't even have to be doing anything!) She finally crawling on her hands and knees. And she can pull up to her knees, but then she gets so mad because she can't do anything after that- get up further or get down. She's a tiny little drama queen. And loves to bounce. If I hold her standing in my lap she throws herself back. She loves that. She also loves to be thrown in the air. And hung upside down. And twirled around. She's my daredevil. And she loves to be kissed on her neck. (Help us in 15 years.) That's what sends her in to giggles.


And me. I'm so excited about school. I logged into the Blackboard site. (Where I'll take my online classes.) We don't start for another week, so there's really nothing there. I just wanted to log in. I feel like a kid who wants to play with all the school supplies right before school starts. And I am going to have to dissect a cat. Ugh. That's going to be hard. But I trudge through. The sheep brain won't bother me. (I did that in high school.) But I'm such a cat lover that doing that one will be hard. And I think we'll be doing it for a few weeks. Learning layer by layer as we cut and go through.


I better go. It's almost time to get the kids up. And I need one more cup of coffee.
