It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these! So here ya go, 10 random thoughts in my head…
1. My baby is now 6 months old! He had his well baby check-up, and he weighed in at 16 lbs. 12 oz. and was 26.5 inches long. He’s smaller than Aidan was at this age. And during the past week, he has changed TREMENDOUSLY. This baby is now crawling like a maniac, pulling up, babbling (DADA, MAMA, BABA), and FINALLY eating baby food. Now maybe he can sleep better?! I’m fine with the no teeth thing, though, if anyone was wondering.
2. Wedding season is winding down! I love my job a great deal, but I’m glad for the break. I want to go on playdates with my kiddos, clean my house, bake some pumpkin bread, and a long list of other domestic things that have taken a backseat to the craziness that always is September and October. Only 2 weddings and a couple of engagement sessions left for the year!
3. Paranormal Activity 3. No way. No sir. After living in a haunted house, I will NEVER see another scary movie, and I will never live in an old house. That is all.
4. I love fall, and it goes by way too quickly. I wish it would stick around a little longer. I love the crunch of leaves under my feet, the autumn light, pumpkin spice lattes, and cooler weather. It’s just too perfect of a season.
5. How about them Cardinals?! All I have to say is that the last time I had a baby, the Cards one the World Series. Baby Liam was born this year. That’s all I’ve got, here what I’m sayin?
6. Had my first wedding at Mount Pleasant last weekend. I’ve been there several times to enjoy some wine + cheese, but I’d never shot a wedding there, and I had never been into the wine cellar. So. Haunted. I hear his name is Dave.
7. I had a date night. With my husband. For the first time in a year. And it was wonderful. The movie, not so much, but dinner and the company were quite fab. Major thanks to my sister for watching my monsters.
8. Poor Liam doesn’t have a costume yet. We bought Aidan’s a month ago, though I fear he may have already lost his mask, but that’s another issue. I have no idea what little Liam should be. A tiger? A pea in a pod? Too many cute choices. You only have one shot at a first Halloween costume! Too much pressure.
9. I’m already making my list of new gear I want to buy next year to shoot some amazing weddings. I am So excited. Already. Is that weird?
10. My baby does pushups. Here’s the proof:
Hi mom.
Here I go!
Success! I’m ready for the Army.
Man, that was a rough workout.
And so were the rings. Love.
