Dear Internet strangers--

Quit bitching about your mom. So she folds your laundry the wrong way? She doesn't hold your kid exactly the same as you do? She accidentally trimmed your bush too far back in your front yard?

Well boo hoo.

My mom is dead, so shut the fuck up and be grateful that your mom is alive and loves you and wants to help you with your newborn baby and be part of your family.

-Me

Double chin.

Mommy n Me makeup!

Juliet's reward for good behavior was being allowed to put lipstick on myself and her. She has always been such a girl!!

Sunday morning

9 weeks 3 days...

Clothing for little boys seems to fall into 2 categories: "Sports Star" and "Preppy old guy".

This is Finn's "old man" look. Ain't he handsome!

Stats: 11 lbs 2 oz (45th %), 22 inches. Sleeping in bed with me, bedtime around 8:30 and waking at 1 am and 4 am to nurse. He nurses great and is very content as long as I'm wearing him, which is most of the day. He feels like the easiest of my babies but it may be that I've just finally figured out what the heck I'm doing!

Bath time

Sitting in the bathroom watching my kids play together with glee. Joyful laughter and play for over 30 minutes. I am so glad they have each other. They truly are best friends and it is such a joy for this mom to see.

Fun with felt

Art project of the day. Juliet picked the purple felt for he crown. Purple has been her favorite color for several months now. She glued on the circles herself and wore the crown for hours afterward. Big success, especially compared with many less successful projects I try!
