Jedidiah // 3 months








At 3 months this little chunker is generally the happiest guy.
Full of coos and chatter and smiles and constant movement.
Loves to converse about everything and daydreams about
seeing auntie Penny's ceiling fan again.
Not the biggest fan of bright colors or moving things,
unless its Mama's hair.

My goodness we love this roly poly.

Jedidiah // 10 weeks


















Full of coos and smiles.
And snuggles.
And pre-naptime/bedtime chats.
And fantastic pooping faces.
And finally fitting into cute baby clothes
And multiplying chunk rolls.
And. And. And......

Man, 10 weeks is where its at.

Yep, still crazy.....


But "White Winter Hymnal" plays constantly in the background
(we JUST discovered it and we're slightly obsessed)
and its kind of fun imagining that I'm actually Laura Ingalls Wilder
trekking out to the ice house when I go to the backyard
to get stuff for dinner (;
I love our life.
As crazy as some days (or weeks.....) are its still pretty wonderful.
In fact, the crazy just kind of weaves itself in
until it is part of the whole and its almost impossible
to distinguish the crazy times from the not so crazy.

Still holding our breath for Thanksgiving though (:

Crazy Days






We are in the middle of some craaaaazy days over here.
I wrote almost a whole post of telling you exactly why
these days are so hectic but after I typed
it all out it felt off, even wrong somehow.
Maybe because it hinted strongly of complaint and that's really
not where I'm at or what I wanted to communicate.
Or maybe just because it made for a VERY long post (;

Just know that our days are cold, our fridge is warm,
and husband is lost in the 
"ohmygoodness all the huge school projects are due RIGHT NOW"
 land and that should give you some understanding of where we are (:

But snuggles and Jedidiah smiles are abundant 
so I think we'll make it to Thanksgiving break just fine.

Until then we'll just keep humming "manic monday"......

xoxo,
Lyss

5:30 am.......





 and Jedidiah has decided he wants to recite the Gettysburg address.
As cute (and miraculous) as that may be 
the day suddenly got 3 hours longer than I was anticipating it to be.
So bring on the coffee induced facade of energy!
And happy monday (:

P.S. how is it that at 5:30 in the morning
baby coos and babbles are still the cutest thing?
Amazing.
