Updates

I can't believe it has been over a month since my last blog. Going back to work makes it hard to keep up with blogging. I do manage to find time to read other blogs.

Wynn is now 15 months old. I can't believe how fast time flies. His new thing is climbing. He climbs on the furniture, his toy garage, and train table on a daily basis. The garage scares me the most. It wobbles when he gets on it. I can yell at him until I am blue and he thinks it is funny and fun. Last night he was so cute-he made a fort with the couch cushions. I remember those days.

Fall is around the corner. I am planning on doing some outdoor activities. We have a Braves game planned, go to a chili cook off, an apple orchard, and the pumpkin patch/corn maze. Last year Wynn was too little to get any expressions. I hope this year he will be excited and engaged in all the fun activities planned.

Matt went back to school to finish his masters at Georgia State. He goes two nights a week. He took a year off when Wynn was born. He has 13 months left of school. It has been an adjustment to run errands, cook dinner, give Wynn a bath, and put him down after working all day when Matt is busy with school work, readings, and class. Not much time for me to do much more especially when I am tired around 9 o'clock.

To all moms: how do you find time to exercise without feeling guilty after leaving your child all day? I don't want to join a gym and put Wynn in another daycare setting. I am trying to find a balance between work, family, and personal life. What has worked for you? I am open to suggestions.

Here are some pictures:

Not ready to go back

I can't believe summer is over. I had wonderful time hanging out with my little man. Excuse the photo-it is not very good of me. I have been bad this year in regards to getting ready for the school year. I haven't been in my classroom once. I will be running wild getting everything ready for Open House. But, bringing a toddler to work for a day would not have accomplished anything. Wynn is in a phase in which I put something away that is the item that he wants to play with at the moment. Cleaning up his toys is almost impossible. I had fun being a SAHM (stay at home mom).

Keurig coffee maker

I am thinking about getting a Keurig coffee maker. I was looking at the special edition model. Does anyone have one? Which model do you have? My only concern is the cost of the coffee pods. They seem to cost a little more than a bag of coffee. Where is the cheapest place to buy the coffee pods? Any recommendations would be helpful.

Fun in the Sun

We just spent a wonderful week at Hilton Head with Matt's family. Wynn had a great time playing with all his cousins. He would walk around looking for them to see what they were doing. I feel that sometimes Wynn thinks he is much older than he really is. We would hang out on the beach for a little bit then retreat to the pool. He loved playing around the pool. He would find sand shovels and nets out of the other families buckets for the beach. However, I was a nervous wreck watching him around the pool. He would get so close by wanting to put the toys into the pool. We did have one incident in which he fell in. He didn't have a life jacket on or anything. I was right there thankfully and pulled him out. So stressful!!! Beach trips are much different now with a 13 month old. Matt and I have discovered that we can no longer chill on the beach with a book and a drink. Now, one of us is watching Wynn while the other one takes a few minutes of rest. But, I wouldn't change it for the world. We love him to pieces.

I will post pictures of the beach at a later time.

1st Birthday

Today my little baby is 1 year old (officially at 7:14 pm). I can't believe how fast time as flown. It was just yesterday that I was at the hospital ready to meet the little person. We didn't know what we were having.

To Wynn,
You are the best gift that I have ever received. I thank God everyday for letting me have such a sweet boy. You have such a good personality even when you don't take long naps. I love your laughs especially when you get the hiccups afterwards. It amazes me how much you can do and how you love to climb on everything. I hope you stay fearless and ready to take up the challenge. I think it is adorable when you like to play with shoes. I love you so much! Stay sweet my little man.
