Going & Going & Going

I went from feeling like we had nothing going on for the month of January...to feeling like there isn't enough time to do all it is that we need to do. Seems to always work out like that. So we are coming up on our little guy "turning" (is that the right word? Feels like it's only fitting to say that for a birthday. Anyways...) 9 months and WOW. Time is flying. Such a cliche mama thing to say, but for real. So Silas is 9 months (almost). Kid still has no teeth. Boggles my mind. Where are they? I don't know. He doesn't know. He is crawling like a crazy person and he is now standing. STANDING people. I really need him to chill out on this growing up thing, because it is freaking me out. We are going to get super into some baby sign language this month so that there can be some form of communication other than his "whiny" yelps and crying. But, who am I kidding? At the rate he is going I'm sure the words will start flowing in no time. My goal in the next few weeks is to really get him interacting with some kiddies. Silas, my lovely sensitive chunky baby is very nervous around other people. At home he is rambunctious, playful, laughs a lot...but he tends to freeze up/cry when he is in an unfamiliar place with faces he is not used to. We're workin' on it. On the agenda this week is definitely a hike since the Portland weather man is telling us it's going to be 50 degrees and sunny (!) on Tuesday. We can't wait to use our new hiking backpack and get some fresh air. Also, we can't wait for some family photo's with our favorite photog extraordinaire Christy! If you don't already follow me on Pinterest, you should, and while you're there you can check out our inspiration board for the shoot. Well, January is full of lots of goodness and I'm pretty stoked for it all. Oh yeah, and who doesn't love doing their taxes and gettin' some $$ back?! January is also the time for that :) Cheers! xo

Fussy. Drooling. Yet, no teeth. Ugh.

Nothing to do with anything I just talked about other than I will consume an enormous amount of these all month long.

I know dude, I feel the same way when your papa goes to work....

Messes. All the time. Everywhere.
