…is when I sneeze!
Everytime I sneeze, he screams in terror.
But his own sneezes don’t scare him.

Morning Nap
Jack and I have a nice little routine going on in the morning. It’s one of my favorite times of the day.
He wakes up around 6:30 or 7 and watches his planes [hanging above his bed] while I slowly wake up and make his bottle.
Then, I get him up and carry him to our bed where we talk for a minute and he just laughs and smiles at me.
Next, he eats while we watch the Today Show.
After he eats, we “play” a little bit, then fall back asleep together.
And sleep til 10 or 11!!! Mind you, this is after he went to bed by 8 pm the night before!
This means his naps the rest of the day will only be about 30 minutes long, which is fine. If I keep him up in the morning, he’ll take a nap close to three hours long around noon. We love sleep!

Everybody’s Workin For the Weekend
Going to fill out an application at Starbucks today.
Seems like the mother ship is calling me back home.
If I’m honest with myself, I feel have several thoughts about this.
Thoughts of not being in the mood to learn everything and fears that I’ll screw it up.
Thoughts of how I’m a certified personal trainer and I have a great clerical background, and oh a college degree, but am doing this instead.
Thoughts of how I’d much rather work in an office setting because that’s where I feel the most comfortable.
Thoughts of how I’d rather work afternoons/nights/weekends so we don’t have to find someone to keep Jack.
Thoughts of how I’m going to keep looking for other jobs, too.

The Cousins
Jack and I went to Tuscaloosa to visit with Reid’s sister and two kids, who are in town from North Carolina. It was supposed to be Jack’s first time in a [baby] pool, but he fell asleep. He slept for about 2.5 hours! He decided sleeping is more fun than swimming.
Here are a few pictures. I took a lot and couldn’t decide which ones to post, so you only get four.
PS- The lighting was terrible, so I fixed them the best I could…

This makes me laugh
Terrible lighting, but oh so cute

The Boy Who Lived
It’s officially Harry Potter season in our house. We’re watching all the movies again before we see the new movie.
Reid’s read all the books, but I haven’t. I’m considering reading the books of the movies I haven’t seen. It’s hard for me to read the books when I know what’s going to happen, even though I know there are things left out of the movies.
BUT, I’m afraid to read the books because I LOVE not knowing whats going to happen at all when I see the movies. Hmm…what to do, what to do.
In keeping with HP Season, we’re going to play Harry Potter SceneIt soon.
We can’t wait for the new movie!!!!

Crossing Over
Ever get so tired of hearing mothers go on and on about their baby is growing up and how they can’t believe it?
It once annoyed me to hear those comments. I didn’t understand how they could be so surprised their sweet little darling child is growing. Isn’t that what they’re supposed to do?
Since then, I’ve crossed over to the dark side.
I am now that Mom that says how big her baby is getting so quickly. I am that Mom of a three month old that just started crying while looking at pictures from his birth date, wondering where my tiny baby went.
What have I become?
Oh, wait. What’s that?
I’ve become a mom?
I guess it’s not so bad, as long as I don’t start wearing Mom jeans.
I probably wasn’t holding him because I was still trying to get feeling back in my arms from the epidural-gone-wrong. 
Look how tiny!
Look how much he changed! My little Benjamin Button!

Good Day For A Break
Jack, or his Nana, gave me the day off today. Thursday is a good day to have off because after three days of being with Jack by myself during the day, it’s time for a break.
Jack has been so good and sweet this week; it’s almost been scary how good he’s been. I think he’s just showing us that he’s growing up. He’ll be three months old on Saturday.
Wednesday night, however, he left something to be desired. By the time he fell asleep, I made a chocolate run for both Reid and me because we deserved it.
Then, I couldn’t sleep, so I was up til 1 am. Then Jack got up at 3 am, which is not normal for him. Needless to say, I was ready to send him to Nana’s this morning so I could catch up on sleep.
My day was spent sleeping, going to the gym, then seeing 17 Again at the Dollar Theater with Deena. It’s great to get out of the house without having a schedule or time you need to come home. Ahhh..the simple things…
Ok, Reid and I are about to play Disney SceneIt since nothing’s on TV. I’m going to be Ariel, duh, Reid’s going to be Nemo, and Chewy’s going to be Tinkerbell.
And here’s a picture because it’s too cute not to share with the world:

Bear Necessities
Reid just sent this to me. We both have a thing for Bear Grylls, but honestly, who doesn’t???

New favorite website:
One of their tag lines?
It will come out of you, and then you have to take care of it.
Even their fake ads are hilarious…
