A Little Slice of Heaven

You guys! No lie, I just had the best night of sleep I've had in at least a month.*
*Full disclosure: it still involved being up three times during the night, but it was amazing regardless.

And to top it off, Jr. SLEPT IN. So not only was I well rested and in a fabulous mood, but he was as well. And THAT hasn't happened in a while since we've been going through a reflux-flare-up-growth-spurt-and-mobility-leap thing.

AND THEN he ate really well and napped for almost an hour, which meant I had time to pump, feed the pets, make an iced coffee, shower, put makeup on, and almost finish my hair before he was up again. So we were out the door for grocery shopping at 9:30am. 

After we got back I was able to prep dinner and put it in the crockpot, we both had breakfast (gluten free toast with avocado for me, Plum Organics and prune juice for him), the kitchen was wiped down, I did some vacuuming, and spent 15 minutes trying to find the sock that magically disappeared from Jr's foot while we were playing - all before his 11am nap.

After weeks of fussiness, this morning was a balm for my weary soul. Bonus: At 11:30am I had a sleeping baby, a humming washing machine, and few minutes to blog for the first time in a month.

Jr was too busy chewing to look, but it was a beautiful day at the park.

2) Happy

We retired our wooden coffee table for now; this leather number will mean fewer bruises for Jr.

3) Balance

Don't worry, Mom. I'm just going to stand on these books so I can reach the table better.

4) Wear

My mom made this fox hat for Jr, which is quite possibly one of my favorite things ever.

All the transitions meant there were plenty of sad baby snuggles.
