The weekend began Friday night with pizza & family creative time. Me with my journal. Ree with her scissors and paper & the husband with his seed catalogues.
Up A LOT in the night with a baby who all the sudden loves her Momma so much. She must think I'll be lonely in my sleep or something. She doesn't want to be put down.
Saturday was puttering around the house. Doing some laundry. A little cleaning. An afternoon spent as a family at the library. Then some Momma time to run a few errands. Saturday night the husband said he had baby duty for the night. Of course she heard him so only woke once in the night!
Sunday morning was up for quiet time in the sunshine. Husband made coffee & note. Sunday morning routine of Church & more coffee. Stopping by the local parish school for an open house. Decisions to be made. Discussions had. Nothing decided except momma had a headache from thinking.
A little knitting was interrupted by baby wanting to be held & only by me this time. I'm really not complaining! I love that she finds comfort in my arms. And from watching Ree, I know this little stage doesn't last very long at all. I'm soaking up all the moments of being gazed upon by gorgeous big blue eyes, the smiles she gives only to me, the weight of her little body as it relaxes against mine as she drifts off to sleep.
How was your weekend? Stop by and see what everyone else was up to at Amanda's!
If I lived next door I would love to hold the baby for you, I miss those days and know you are enjoying it all. You are so smart to realize this stage doesn't last long.
ReplyDeleteRee looks like she is having the best time, there really is something about kids, paper and scissors that just go together.
I'd love it if you lived next door! I wish all my blog friends lived in my neighborhood! :-)
DeleteA coffee and a note :) Sweet! Yes they do not stay little do they? I love imagining you and Ree creating together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet note from your hubby! Enjoy those days of holding the baby...my baby will be 18 in June...the time went to quickly. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYour entire blog post made me smile! I love the note your husband left. I can remember those days when Nicole wanted nobody else but me (and is still like that on some days). And I remember going to the open house at our local Catholic school when Nicole was going into pre-k thinking "how are we going to afford this?" (we managed somehow). Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYes the how are we going to afford this? The "if we took that money and budgeted we could do an amazing home school experience." We are still discerning what will be best for Ree. And Veronica too down the road!
DeleteOh, the note! I saved all the daily morning notes my husband left me in the early days of marriage. Good thing because those stopped a long, long time ago. -.-
ReplyDeleteBaby cuddles are the best--and so fleeting. Enjoy!
I've saved all the notes too. They're still coming five years later. I'm blessed so far! :-)
Deleteif i lived nearby, i'd be happy to offer to hold and comfort that baby of yours!
