He Said Mama First-Ha!

Since Jack was born I have said "mama" to him. I really wanted him to say mama first. J insisted that Jack would say dada first. He said all babies say dada first. Well the other day Jack looked right at me and said "mama" and then laughed out loud. I thought it was just a fluke but he did it 2 more times that night. Too bad J wasn't around to witness it. Well when J came home from days of working he got to witness it for himself. Oh he was mad but he got a kick out of how happy it made me. Now I'm not delusional and know that he doesn't know what he is saying. However I do know that me saying "mama" over and over to him helped him to learn how to say it.

On the sign language front he does one word-milk. He only does it when he is drinking milk. I'm still glad that he was able to learn it. 

Here are a few pictures of my little monkey. I also want to give a shoot out to my husband who made all A's this semester. Congrats!!!!

A Space of My Own

I took a little break from blogging because basically my life was crazy. My husband's new schedule formed a whole new routine for us, school was wrapping up, Jack was in a horrible fussy stage, and basically the only thing I could write about was how much things were sucking.

There are only 5 school days left until summer. This will be my first summer with a baby and I have lots of excitement and some fears. Never getting a break is the biggest fear. My biggest excitement? I will get to form an even greater bond with him.

During my little break from blogging I decided that I needed a space. I had in the past blogged in my car, in our den, outside, on my couch, in my bed, at work.....basically never in the same spot. We have a guest room that I have since turned into my room. It is the place I will blog and craft. It is not even close to those cute rooms you see on pinterest. Yes, I would love a space like that but that just isn't possible right now. Of course, I will vamp it up from time to time as I go. I'm just so excited to have my own space. Here is a little tour.

The closet which houses my crafting supplies. Please note the half painted wall.

I pushed the desktop computer to the back. We never use it but I just can't throw it away.

Included this picture to show the sewing machine in the floor where it will probably stay.

Here is my craft bed. Gotta do what works.
