Six months have gone by and let me just tell you, they went by super fast! My sweet, little Cubby is a champ with one tooth already breaking through his gums. I feel another one right behind it too. It has been a sickly winter around here. Monsta doesn’t ever seem to get over these dreaded colds. He has been sporting a lovely cough for over two weeks now – good grief. I feel that the better portion of my day is telling him to cover his mouth or don’t cough in the baby’s face. It gets tiresome. The sun being out though makes us happy. We have been outside for days. I have successfully weeded all the beds, replanted my blueberry bush and replanted my herbs from the garden into pots on the deck. I have repotted ALL my african violets to cheer them up. I feel terrible for them….I just don’t have enough windows in my house to put them in. Poor little guys. What is left on my priority list is to plant some bulbs I picked up and some peas and some cosmos. Then I can move on to my regular ongoing list. It never ends but I love it!
In a nutshell…..Spring makes me happy! I look outside and inspect the yard. I see growth everywhere and even blooms stirring. It does something to my spirit I think. I would never admit I had the winter blues but……maybe I did. I’ve been cooking in the afternoon light and have had dinner basically on the table when Craig gets home from work. How wonderous. Last night was Bolognese and tonight is Australian lambchops. I must get in gear and go shopping though. Celebrating Passover early and I have to make my famous macaroons and horseradish. Here is David to brighten your day. Can you believe he will be six months in four days?
Loving this weather! It is so nice out that I feel like I have a new lease on life. We don’t have to rush into the house when we get home and I even started pruning some shrubs and plants today. As a matter of fact, I’m going out right now again. Ben just woke up and that is the plan. My pansies even came back from last year. How happy am I? I will leave you with this cheery photo of Cubby. Melt my heart.
Can you stand it? This little cubby is such a delight. He is working really hard at trying to sit on his own now and grabs for everything in sight. His laugh can bring a smile to anyone and his twinkly eyes can melt you.
Benjamin at four months.
David at five months
I see so many similarities. Do you?
It has totally been done before BUT not by me. I like these shots and I think I will continue them over Cubby’s first year. I see a change already and these are only a few weeks apart.

I wish my Gram could have met David. She would just love him. She would probably sing one of her classics…

David rolled over! He really really did. I had him on the floor just as you see here. I was snapping pictures and then rolled him onto his tummy. All of a sudden……He was back on his back. Unbelievable. He did this a couple of weeks ago but I think it was an accident. Today may have been another but I would like to think it was for real. He was pretty happy with himself.
I’m off to tackle some much needed shopping for the holidays today. Picking up the Monsta from school and dropping him off at Mom’s house. Me and the babe will fight the crowds together. I wish I knew what people wanted…..everyone has everything nowadays. It is making it so hard to be thoughtful. I will do my best. Wish me luck!
Cub vs. Catapillar
Getting smiles left and right now.
I’m going to let these images speak for themselves.
……I <3 my boys
Gooey is way more alert nowadays and really trying to smile. I swear I got a huge grin this morning! Monsta has definitely calmed down a bit in terms of attacking him with hugs and kisses. He still does it but a bit less. This morning he says, “That’s my boy David!” He is so cute.
Have a great weeked everyone. Next week, I will be in full Thanksgiving mode.
