It's Been TOO Long!

FINALLY able to blog again!!  I did a stupid thing about 2 weeks ago, I was closing the top of my desk and accidentally sliced into the power cord that charges my computer.....ugh!  So I've been chomping at the bit because all of this stuff has happened and I haven't been able to document it in my blog.  So for starters we now have hardwood floors in just about all of the downstairs now!!  YAY it looks AMAZING and I LOVE them :)  I'm going to do an entire separate post on them though as I took a million pics and feel its best to keep them all together in one post.
In Jack news the past two weeks have been so much fun.  My baby is 10 months old today for starters.  Last night while giving him a bath I was thinking about how fast this past 10 months has literally flown by.  Its just not fair.  I could stare at him all day and it still wouldn't be enough.  I sort of got teary-eyed (I'm a big sap) because my own life has changed so much since he came into it.  He is now THE most important part of my life and I love him so much it hurts, seriously!  .......OK sentimental moment over.....

This is my MOST favorite face of all time <3

He is now crawling, like officially on his knees crawling all over the place.....and doing it really FAST!  I'm still adjusting to how quickly he can now move.  It happened on May 8th where he crawled across the room, stopping and going, for the first time.  He was SO proud of himself because he would get all excited each time he did it, he knew he was doing something new and great!  Before this he was doing a mean army crawl, he was seriously a champ at it so I knew crawling was right around the corner.  Thank God to, because his shirts were filthy by the end of the day.

On May 5th he said "momma" for the first time!  It was more like momamamamama but that was enough for me!!!  He still doesn't say it that much, baba is his favorite for sure!

April 25th we had to lower the crib because he started pulling himself up which was adorable....only thing is that he couldn't get himself back down.  I think he can but once he's up he just wants out at that  point.  We lowered it down 2 notches and then realized after about a week that it needed to go down to the very bottom because he is tall and was making both of us very nervous!  I need to get one of those crib rail pad thingys (or whatever they are called) because he gnaws on the crib rail and I don't want it all chewed up......
     Speaking of teeth, he's got 6 now!  4 on top and 2 on the bottom.  Everything is just progressing WAY too quick for me, he's getting too big too fast.

Games - It just amazes me that a baby "just knows" how to play games.  Last week I started to chase him and say "I'm going to get you" over and over and he turned around and started to crawl away from me at top speed and was laughing and giggling uncontrollably!!!  How did he know that was how the game was played....we'd never done that before....I'm choosing to believe that I MUST have the smartest baby around :)
He also has started playing peek-a-boo with me rather than the other way around.  It's flippin ADORABLE to watch him hide his little face behind something and then peek out around it in hopes that I'll scream PEEK-A-BOO !  I just love him <3

Mother's Day was a bust, for me at least.  I guess my husband didn't get the memo that one's FIRST mothers day EVER is supposed to be special (at least it was to me).  I didn't expect much, a card and a happy mothers day first thing would have made my day.  I did get a donut and some cookies later that day when he went to pick up dessert to take to my mother's for dinner.  Most importantly though I did spend the entire day with Jack which is what the day is all about regardless so in the end it was a success ;) AND that afternoon was very nice at mom's with her and my grandmother....always good to get together and get some group pictures.

My first Mother's Day :)

All the Mommas on Mothers Day :)
