Contentment

Hi! My It has been a while. It's hard to find time to get it all in with work, baby, family, personal and down time which kind of leads me to what I would like to write about. This is my blog so I can write about anything right? Of course it will have some new pics of baby J in it too. I titled the blog contentment because as I told my sister in law the other day I have reached whole new levels of it lately. It's so easy to get wrapped up into wanting more, I would be happy if I lived in this house, or in this city or if I had this car or this dress but then once we get it there is always something else. It's nice to kind of resign yourself to those thoughts and take a look around at what you do have and just smile. I've been trying hard to do that lately. I have a healthy loving family, a roof over my head, a job and the sweetest baby to every be born and I never want to look back and say I took that time in my life for granted. So I'm not.

The internet can be a wonderful, amazing thing but in this day and age of oversharing it can also make you feel kind of....less than. Pinterest has shown me how unorganized I really am and how to play with my 8 month old 100 different ways in one week. I have to laugh at some of it though because for those of us scowering these sights or even posting them your baby is watching you on the computer and wishing you were not. ;) I AM NOT JUDGING, see I'm online right now (he's napping) but I will find myself looking at websites on how to entertain my infant as he's crawling up to me and making noises to get my attention. All he wants for me to do is pay attention to him. So that's what I will do. :)

We have done lots of fun stuff lately, let's post some pics now!



You are very happy sans clothing!



Water Babies! You love it





 



I had your pictures taken, they all are adorable just like you

First 4th of July Party







Hahah I love this picture it looks like you are begging me to stop working.



You grew a mustache!

Full on starting to terrorize Lily...



Flew to Cincinatti for Danny's graduation, wow what a trip. Lots of travelling in a short amount of time. Here you are laying in the foyer of the auditorium. Ay ya yay that was a long day. But you did it and I love you and I'm glad we went.

Love Love Love

You are very happy to see bear :)

A very important member of our family came into the world Bowen A Durham (aka your future PIC)

We hung out at the beach!

 and because I am super impressed and so happy about my corner shelf custom built by my uber talented husband and wait for it, wait for it...

 It lights up! He cut holes in the bottom shelf and middle support shelf and strung rope lights around the interior. The ottoman is covering the cord on the left. It turned out great!
Ok now I saved the very best for last.....YOU ARE CRAWLING and I got your first stretch on video! I'm worried you think are dog since are crawling for the cage with a toy in your mouth, o well still cute!!!!!

I am aware that I write this speaking to anyone in general reading and to Jonathan and that is probably not the correct way to prose and blog but it's mine so I get to. Hopefully it won't take me 2 months to give another update. ;)
