The Zoo

Pictures from our trip this week:

15 months, can you believe it?!

I was holding him after his bath this evening and looking in the mirror at how big he is now. They grow so much in the first year. I'm really not going to believe it when his 2nd birthday begins to approach. I know it's not anytime soon, but I have a feeling it will come quicker than I think. 

I had this idea awhile back to finish the sentence: You're a mom if... (have you ever heard of the comedian who does those You're a redneck if... jokes)- I've had a ton of these This-could-only-happen-to-me moments, which I should have been writing down because they are one of a kind. For instance here is one that happened today, You're a mom if... after hours of searching for the jelly lid you end up finding it in the peanut butter jar. I really did not want to look in the peanut butter jar because I thought, no way- that is not possible. Yeah, right. It's so funny being a mom (especially to a toddler), and being always on our toes. Even if it means we can never eat that last bite on our plate, or enjoy just one strawberry from our garden, or that our sunglasses always hang a little crooked on our face from little hands playing with them! It's definitely fun.
