Success & MIL

Today was an awesome wedding shower, put together mostly by my sister-in-laws and my mother-in-law. Things came together so nicely and so many people made wonderful comments about the many little details. I am so proud to be part of a fantastic, supportive, group of women. I felt like my mom was here today, cheering me on and in some little way I felt the warmth of her heart in my mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law is the the most amazing woman you would ever meet. She gives and gives and asks only respect in return. I believe God has put me in this family because she fills all the holes that remain with the loss of my mother. I love her dearly and couldn't ask for a more heartfelt, caring person to look up to and take care of my son.

Fussing

So I have a fussy baby. I've known it since it began early in his life. I've just now gotten to the point of annoyance and am trying to figure out how I can stop it and what is causing it. I experimented tonight with eating in another room to see if I am the cause of his fussing. Well, guess what?! He sat for 20 minutes eating and talking to Jason. So my experiment worked! I am going to eat in the other room for a few more days and hopefully it'll keep working then I'll ease back into eating at the table. At the first fuss I'll get up and eat in the other room. I'm hoping that Liam will realize that his fussing will cause me to go away from him instead of pay attention to him. We'll see

It's been awhile!

I wish I had a valid excuse for why I haven't written but I really don't. After work each evening I come home, make dinner, play with Liam, get him ready for bed and then I myself get ready for bed. I have become a little bit of a Facebook junkie, checking multiple times a day since we've gotten connected to the Internet here at home. I've been enjoying the nice weather when it's here and am geared up for Easter and playing Easter Bunny. Hopefully soon I'll get back to writing about the New Zealand trip and I'm going to see about getting those pics up ASAP!
