We were visiting at my parents this past weekend. We were surprised with a huge blizzard and got snowed in for the weekend. Rayne was due for a bath and I didn't have his baby bathtub, and I'm one for keeping routine when it comes to things like that. Since he can't sit yet, I improvised and laid down towels in a little bit of water. Well Rayne had a BLAST!!!! I had to get it on video, its a short video but he splashed like crazy for a long time. I think i got more wet then he did.
I love the little smile close to the end before he splashes again. I LOVE this boy!

7 Months
Another month has passed us by, I say this every time I post something but where does the time go?! Bean is now 7 months and lots has happened in the last month. He has his first tooth cutting. I now know why its called cutting, it is SHARP!!!! He is almost sitting by himself, he's a little late in things because of the minor set back when he was 3 months old, he lasts a minute or two and then falls to the side.
He's a pro at rolling back and forth and is so close to crawling. I've read that if you put toys just out of their reach it will encourage them to go for it.....I sometimes think hes going for it and then he just plops his head down in despair and cries. He'll get it one of these days!
This little guy just loves life and is always full of smiles and laughter and always moving his limbs. His favorite thing to do is grab kyles cheeks and plant an open mouth kiss (or leach) on to his chin. With me he grabs fist full of hair and then leaches on to my cheek or chin. It hurts like crap, but I can't help to laugh at his attempt at affection. He just loves it.
He has officially grown out of his vibrating chair, i think he's reached the weight limit for it, but it comes in handy for a lot of things. He also loves his excersaucer.
In this Stage:
*He has started sleeping through the night
*Loves peas and oatmeal
*Has the biggest smile and best laugh
*Very grabby and interested in everything we do, if we our using our cell phones, tv remote, xbox controller you name it he is leaping out of our arms or chair to try to grab it
*Cutting his first tooth
*Almost crawling and sitting up
*Still needs rocking to sleep.....still setting up a night routine but if we wait until 10ish he is guaranteed to sleep until 7am. Late night owl like his parents
*Still on a 6oz bottle of formula

Grateful
With Valentines being around the corner, i thought it appropriate to blog about how grateful i am about my life and what i LOVE about it.
1. First off I am very grateful for my wonderful Husband, he makes me proud in everything he does and the choices he makes for this family. Some days he thinks he failing at everything, but in fact he's the best in everything. I LOVE him, he's perfect for me! He also is a perfect dad, he shows LOVE to his little man like no other. Kyle you are my best friend.
2. My son! I have to say motherhood was a challenge getting used to and i still have my bad days but i LOVE my little bean. He brings more joy to my life then I thought possible. The smiles and laughter that we share on a daily basis enriches my life. I am very grateful to my heavenly father for entrusting me with this sweet spirit. I only hope I can receive more to raise in my home, as i feel a home just isn't a home until there is pitter patter of multiple feet running around.
3. I LOVE my friends. They enrich my life daily. I LOVE my best friend (other than my husband), and you know who you are. We have been through mostly ups with a couple of downs, you help me with motherhood and put up with my endless questions. Thank you for putting so much energy into our relationship it means a lot to me. I LOVE having someone I can just be myself with.
4. I LOVE my heavenly father and very grateful to him and all the many trials I have received and will receive. You may read this and ask why as the last year was a very difficult year for us. Without these trials I would not have learned the valuable lessons I have learned. Faith and Praying go a long ways. Because of these trials we have been greatly blessed. We have a place to call home that we can afford, we are able to put food in our mouths, because of our cousin we received everything that we needed for Rayne (the only thing we bought ourselves was a stroller and crib), our cousin blesses our lives every couple of months with clothes. I LOVE clothes and she will never know how much joy she brings to me every time I receive a parcel.
I LOVE my life, I wouldn't ask to change it. There are days that are not joyous and I want to crawl into bed and stay there for a whole day, but I wouldn't be the wife, mother and daughter I am today without my daily challenges and daily joys.
