1. When you have two children the hamper morphs into a bottomless pit of hell. And laundry seems to accumulate all throughout the entire house in tiny little piles. Oh lord, the receiving blankets and the burp cloths and the jeans and socks and more socks, little tiny socks and seven pairs of socks a day from E, the sleepers and the pitifully disgusting preschool dirty shirts and pants, oh and the towels (which I’ve mentioned already), and of course that one pair of yoga pants and t-shirt I’ve had on all week.
2. McDonald’s is delicious. I don’t care what anyone else thinks. And yes, I’m still on the 30 day shred. And it feels like I’ve been doing it for months, but really I am pretty sure I’ve only accumulated about 7 days. Ug. Anywho, the McDonald’s probably has something to do with my lack of results.
3. Teddy is a tank. A 13 pound, 8 ounce two month old tank. Like my brother says, one of these days he is going to sit up and look at Jack and say in a deep man-voice, “There’s a new sheriff in town.”
4. Jack ceases to amaze me with his strange-ness. One of his favorite “toys” is a turkey baster. He pretends it’s a microphone. He slept with it last night.
5. My kids are cute. Look at this kid. So. damn. cute. And as soon as I get some pictures of Jack’s new haircut I’ll load some pictures of him too…
Now what, mumma?
Hunk of burning love.
His feet absolutely kill me. Really, it's the toes.
They have a finger-like quality. Just like mine.
So, so sweet!!
Yes, the laundry is HORRIBLE with a newbie. The burp cloths for us were the major killer!!
Yes, McDonalds Happy Meals were only consumed by me while both kids in the backseat, the baby, screaming his lungs out. Hey, it was the only place I could spend just 5 minutes feeding myself in “peace.”
Both my boys porked up quickly. Got to love the rolls! Good for your arms too. :)
Sounds like you are enjoying the craziness! Good for you! :)
Don’t even talk to me about the laundry. I am great about getting it clean, but then it sits around the house in unfolded piles and by the time I am ready to fold it the dog has slept on it and I have to wash it all over again!
We are sitting here thinking our 10 pounds on the nose, two month old is huge, she’s got nothing on Teddy.
Here is to things calming down a bit for us both, or the laundry fairy coming to visit us soon!
I’ll agree that Teddy is definitely “a hunk of burning love!” He is so darn cute…the only one cuter is little Thomas who I thought at 4 months and 15 pounds was a big one, but Teddy’s got him!!!
He is a stinkin’ ADORABLE chubby wad who’s feet I would like to eat off the computer screen. Do you DIE at him constantly? And his hair…and head…seriously. Do you die? ha ha….I am getting my baby fix from you, my friend! Thank you!!!
Okay, you’re going to give the kid a complex! Someday he’s going to read this and be like “geez mom!” Anyway, I don’t think he seems that big at all, I mean, he isn’t remotely fat! Forget the fact that I’m used to toting around the 38 pound 3 year old… He definitely seems just right to me!
I sure do miss the newest man in my life (Teddy). and holding and snuggling him. and cracking up at everything Jack says and does even when he’s getting in trouble. The pictures are SO sweet. Grammy.
You are right, he’s a cutie! It sounds like you’re doing well adjusting to the craziness that is two kids. I, on the other hand, am not as well-adjusted and am starting to rip out my hair in clumps. :)
a turkey baster?! hilarious!
um cute is an understatement- look at those little toes.
yum.
