I seem to have no concept of time lately...we have been busy as ususal and our littlest munchkin accidentally broke my card reader = no pictures able to upload!
We have been busy with our usual busy lifestyle, but have had some fun stuff thrown in between...
red couch pictures at home
Making special halloween treats...
Sammy and I went to a very close nature area with some hiking trails...he wasnt so sure about the whole "hiking" thing...at first it was a "Mommy carry me while I whimper and shake my head no" thing...
But leaf finding was fun
He didnt care for the caterpillar
Look at the water Mama
Throwing leaves from the bridge
Getting braver!!
By the time it was time to go, he was having a good time....we will make a nature lover out of him yet!! This weekend apple picking and hopefully a pumpkin patch is on the agenda if the weather holds out!!
Sammy is also becoming quite a velcro baby per say. He LOVES his Mama...and his Emmy...everyone else are ok in a pinch, but he is NOT gonna be happy about it! He is really prefering me over Tim as well and that is difficult to say the least. Right now I am still going out alone when I need to go out alone (or take a shower for that matter) and he stays home with Daddy...He doesnt like it...but isnt hysterical about it either! Just doesnt make it pleasant when Mommy is the ONLY one he wants to feed him, dress him, change his diaper...you get the picture. I dont want to complain, but I am really praying that this stage ends soon and he starts attaching to Daddy more! He is still social, did great during a visit to my work today...but just wants Mama if Mama is anywhere near! Any advice??
Other than that, my biggest complaint is the amount of laundry that seems to have tripled each week! It is getting colder which means dinner gets easier since it is time to break out the crockpot! I have come to the realization that my todo list isnt gonna get done anytime soon! We have been home a month now and I am just finishing my adoption announcements! Thank you cards, cleaning projects, filing, putting pictures in albums....all will get done eventurally! My wise sister reminded me tonight that although I have been a mommy for a long time, I have never been a mommy of 4 and have never become a mommy of an adopted toddler before so I need to cut myself a break! Thanks Ellen!! I needed the reminder and I needed to hear that it was OK if my housework or laundry pile up...not to mention my to do list!
Blessings
Amy
