Who is this time monster and why is he eating my todays?

Karin: This picture-filled post is dedicated to you.





Time is flying. My little Bubbah will be 7 months old tomorrow. I can't believe I'm old enough to have a 7 month old...haha. He's doing so well and growing and learning. It's amazing to watch a baby learn. Now it's all about playing on the floor and seeing how much of the rug space we can crawl over in the space of an hour.



He will seriously just play on the rug for an hour! And it's more like a scootch and a pulling of the legs than a crawl, but he has pulled himself up on his knees a few times. I just look at him and smile because he's so darn cute and I love him.



We went to the Pitt Meadows Day parade yesterday. It was good. And hot. I received quite the gift of redness from my friend the sun. I have to remember that I am quite fair and NEED to apply sunscreen when outdoors for long periods. Sometimes I forget and other times I think that maybe, just maybe, I'll be like my brother Matt and get a glorious tan from being outside for 10 minutes. Hasn't happened yet. It's been 28 years.




Do you know what I'm terrible at? Making social appointments. Nate and I are both bad at it. We usually don't do much unless we get invited out or we realize we haven't seen so-and-so for awhile and we really need to get togheter. It's amazing that this day in age with all the technology - I mean.. we could call, email, page, text, skype, blog a comment (there's nothing wrong with that), add someone to facebook...it's crazy. And yet sometimes all we want to do is cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. Don't get me wrong, those times with my husband are amazing, but we need to get out more. Especially me. I don't have the same social network I once did and I love Jericho but he needs to see another face besides my own once in awhile. I don't want to be a parent who doesn't go out because of my kids. I mean..kid. Singular. No, I'm not pregnant.

But tonight we have some great friends coming over. You know when you meet a family and you just click with them and just have fun? This mom and her son are like that. We love them. And they like games. BONUS. Nate's going to pick up some Papa Murphy's (which is yummy btw) and we're just going to hang out and crack open some Cranium or Ingenious.



Wow, J's been asleep now for 2 hours. The kitchen is cleaned, the rug is vacuumed, tables been Murphied Oil Soaped up, and all his bottles are clean. This Momma is hot and not in the "That's Hot" sense, but in the man, that sun is stinkin warm and I love it but I'm sweaty kinda sense.

Jericho the actor doing various facial expressions:






There are so many other things I want to say but I'm not sure I have time to say them all before the child wakes up and I think I would rather spend some time watching TV or reading my book before the rest of my afternoon arrives.

Oh, I almost forgot.. Look what I found in the laundry:
