rivers in the daffodils...didn't go as we had planned...have i mentioned he likes to eat things?






aaahhhh...

chooooo!

he's so proud of his sneeze!







there he goes with the eyebrows again... oh how i adore those little brows.

so many pictures, so little time

these are all from the 7 month folder...i'm a little behind on posting because i've been busy with another little something. it will be ready soon, so keep an eye out for it! have i mentioned that my child eats socks? they are his favorite!




and have you noticed that he has hair?! he's been working all winter on this! it's so light- i'm beginning to wonder if our real child didn't get switched at birth...



one sleepy baby...



rivers in action...



now that's a face!



Baby's First Valentine's...I couldn't decide which to post, so I just did them all! Thanks Nanette for the super cute outfit!

Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail...

Rivers went to work with me again today and Laurie was kind enough to entertain him for awhile as well as take his Easter pictures with her bunny, Cotton Tail. Laurie's kids decided on the name, can you tell? Anyway, I stole these off of her blog...Rivers LOVED the bunny and even tried to eat his ears! Unfortunately, we didn't get that shot- we were too busy saving Cotton Tail from the wrath of an 8 month old!

8 months - Happy Patty's Day!

Not only was yesterday St. Patrick's Day, as well as Rivers' 8 month birthday, but it also was the day that I dropped him off at a sitter's house for the first time. It didn't go great, but I guess it could have been worse. We had gone over to Jennifer's house to meet her and her 1 year old son, Bryce the other weekend. He did good- he played a little and smiled a lot. We were there for about an hour before we left to go to the daffodil field. So back we went yesterday. We got there early so I could get him comfortable before I had to leave for work. I didn't cry when I left, but I was close. Leaving him at home with a sitter is one thing, but having to leave him at a stranger's house was another. He did fine though when I waved good-bye. It wasn't until she wiped his mouth after lunch that he lost it! Apparently, that was just more than he could handle and he melted! Bryce does not like it when babies cry, so then he started crying as well. They were feeding off of each other- probably seeing who could cry the loudest, and poor Jennifer had 2 screaming, crying babies that were inconsolable. This lasted for 45 minutes! But on the flip side, they wore themselves out and both napped for a little over an hour at the same time. So luckily, Jennifer got a little break and some time to calm down! She is brave enough to try it again on Thursday. Hopefully, it will go better for her. Of course, if I don't find a sitter for Monday, Wednesday, Friday then I will have to quit my job and Rivers won't have to worry about being left with anyone. So, that's my sad story from yesterday. Now, here are some pictures to cheer us up! These were taken before going over to Jennifer and Bryce's house!





Many of you know we don't allow Rivers to watch tv. In fact, the tv is rarely on in our house anymore. But Jeremy insists on showing Rivers video clips of drummers just going to town on their sets. And Rivers is fascinated! Here they are watching an amazing drummer doing a little showing off...

what a gorgeous weekend- and this week is starting out just as lovely! we went to the daffodil field on saturday and got some cute pictures of mr. adorable. i haven't had a chance to sit down and edit them, but look for them soon! it was just too beautiful outside to be cooped up on the computer this weekend! now its back to work today and rivers will be coming along with me. my babysitter quit on me last week and i haven't found anyone yet for monday, wednesday, friday. luckily my good friend jaime is off of work wednesday and so graciously will be helping me out then!
