roasted

Roasted marshmallow, that is!

This is something I could never overindulge in, but I do love
a good roasted marshmallow from time to time.

Are you with me? Do you like yours toasted, roasted, or extra crispy?

fixated

While taking Will's photos during his ten month photo shoot, he became fixated
on my camera lens cap. When I took it away, he quickly went from this...

to this!


After a little consoling, I gave in and let him reach for it.


and he was as content as he could be.






I will pick my battles, and this was not one I was willing to fight. What can I say?
The boy likes what he likes! If you are wondering, yes, he does have a room full of
toys, and has toys spread across every room of our house. But, toys are never as
much fun are they!?!

momma

Will has been sounding out mmmmm, mmmamma, and mamamamamamama for a
while now. In fact, the mmm sound was his first distinct verbal sound. It has always
come out very much like chatter; never directed toward me. Last night, he woke in
the middle of the night for the first time in months, and after changing his diaper, I was
leaving the room to get him a bottle and I heard him cry out "momma". It melted my
heart a little hearing that cry directed at me. I immediately turned around and snuggled
him a little before attempting my exit again. Am I creating a monster? I don't know if
one little snuggle could make that big of a difference, but it totally made it worth my
while waking up in the middle of the night!

Bless his little momma's boy heart!
