The Big 2 plus 1 month
Skyler,
You have been two for a little over a month now and I have to honestly say that I’m having more fun each and everyday. You are such an incredible little boy and so far being two has lived up to it’s expectations and surpassed them.
It’s amazing how much more you are talking. New words and phrases that you pick up daily. From saying ‘please’ & ‘thank you’ to singing along with the Backyardigans and Wonderpets. I told myself to despise the tv when you were so little, but now I’ve learned to choose the right programs because some shows do have their benefits. It’s so nice that you have your favorite shows to dance and sing along with. I get an even bigger tickle when you ask for Spiderman so politely. Your personality is starting to shine brighter than I could have ever thought possible.
Even more exciting is the fact that you are rocking the potty training! I know it will be some time before you tell me that you have to go potty, so I try to keep a close eye on the clock knowing when you last went and I’m thankful that you seem to be on a pretty regular schedule. I’m even more thankful for the days that I go without changing a diaper because I know that’s one step closer to wearing big boy underpants.
Skyler, you still have your terrible two moments, but I wouldn’t change you for anything.
Thank you for being such a wonderful and amazing little boy.
And have I mentioned how your smile just brightens my day?
my exuses…
Again, I apologize for the crappy blogging. There is a lot going on right now and it’s putting me in a very funky mindset.
Nashville has been hit with a horrible gas shortage. Since the Friday before Hurricane Ike hit. so for over a week it has been gas stations with bags over the pumps, no gas signs, lights out and no prices up. It has been wondering when a station will have gas so we can fill the car to get to where we need to go. It’s been waiting in line for up to hours just to fill the vehicle up. And every time a gas station gets a new delivery, it’s madhouse.
What an amazing time we live in. I can’t wait to see how much worse it’s going to get as the failing economy really goes down. *rolls eyes*
And then of course there is work. I’m trying to enjoy being where I’m at, but it’s getting hard. I enjoy what I do, but the moral is so low at work and I highly doubt the uppers even realize it. I’ve been putting in my resumes for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully soon I will here something. Hopefully soon I will find my silver lining on my dark gray cloud. There is currently only one thing at work that keeps my mood up and even I don’t know how much longer that will last and if it will keep up.
More on that another time, faithful readers. I’m trying to keep up with blogging and my photography but I need to break out of this funk first. Bear with me until then.
bad blogger, bad!
Sorry for the lack of blogging. I’m going through my quarterly funk and now that I’m pulling myself out if, I’m getting back behind the camera and getting back into blogging.
Not much new going on. Just a lot of posting resumes and spending time with Skyler. Work is the same. Some days are great, some days aren’t so great. I got a new phone. Loving it. Next step is the camera, then new computer. Vacation is a little over a month. Ecstatic about that. And hopefully new job soon. One that I can move up in, be able to go back to school and feel like I’m getting compensated for my hard work.
I feel like everything is starting to come together. i hope it stays that way.
update in pictures
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve posted pictures.
Since I have absolutely nothing to blog about.
sneak peek | S & Y
Sara is a good friend of mine that I met through work. She and her husband had been trying to have a baby for several years and finally they have been blessed with their son, Youssef. He was so sweet and so easy going, eager to give his mom or me a smile. I had so much fun photographing a wiggling 2 month old and his beautiful mom that I almost cried when the session ended and I had to go back to work.
Sara, your darling boy is the sweetest baby and I hope you enjoy your pictures. This is just a sneak peek and I have tons more that I know you will love! I’ll call you or email you as soon as I have them ready!
