52 Weeks: Week 11

Last weekend was taken over by St. Patty's, well more like Saturday was. It's a rare Saturday that Ben is off work, so we enjoyed hanging out as a family on the weekend AND outside because it was beautiful! Later on Ben and I went out to dinner and drinks with some friends and walked around downtown a little since Brewfest was still going on.

That bottom left pic is of our latest parenting hurdle. Whit has given up sleep for the most part, that night being the worst. He woke up ever couple of hours with either gas, stuffy nose or just wanting to play. That picture was taken at 3:30 am. Oy, it was funny and we kept our wits about us, but it has been rough! Wednesday I got my ring resized and finally look like a married woman again! And the upper left picture is of Friday's story time at the library. There were soooooo many babies and parents there. This was the first story time Whit was capable of being mobile, so the mama bear in me was clawing to come out. And boy was he getting angry with me about it. I wouldn't let him rip the scarf with his teeth, I wouldn't let him stick another child's toys in his mouth, and I barely let the parachute go over his head because I was watching a too-big kid stomping around under there, making sure he didn't step on my baby.

Oh man, Whit gaining a little independence... I thought I was looking forward to it, but I may need some Xanax to get through it.
