2. Because he gave me her.

3. Because he works hard to make the money that allows us the lifestyle we have.

4. Because he does dishes, and folds laundry

6. Because he makes her laugh in a way no one else can.

7. Because he thinks I'm beautiful.

8. Because he cares about small animals, and trees, and people.

9. Because of the way he looks at me... and her.

10. Because he properly uses the word "fuck" on a regular basis.

11. Because he is passionate about what he believes in.

12. Because he wants to have another baby with me!

13. Because he just IS. Yeah I said that already, but it's a big one.

SPT, a day late - again

The theme for feb is blue...

I wouldn't say I'm blue, but i sure do look it in this pix. I'm really just tired, tired of spending 90 mins to get the baby to sleep. Tired of tantrums for no reason. Tired. Someday all of those things will change, and I'll miss them, right?

Well, maybe not the tantrums. ;)

Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen things I do almost every day...

1 Wake up next to this smiling face, and snuggle in bed for a while.

2. Drink a cuppa. I love me a good latte, but usually just make a plain cup of coffee. Cream and sugar please!

3. Diaper laundry. Somedays it's folding, some days it's just starting a load, and some lovely days they are all done.

4. Vacuum. Well maybe not everyday but at least 3x a week we are running the vacuum. Other days we sweep. ;)

5. Play peek a boo! This happens multiple times a day, and with many different objects!
.

6. Comfort a crying/frustrated/angry/tantruming toddler.

7. Nurse, nurse, nurse. All day, everyday. All night, every night.

8. Do something creative with my kid. Painting, playdough, etc.

9. Knit. Never enough time for this!

10.Clean. Some thing in this realm happens everyday, as much as I don't love cleaning, I love a clean house!
11. Laugh and play. This happens so often I can't count the number of times. It's hard not to when you have a kid like this one.

12. Eat clementines. They are in season, and we eat lots of them!

13 LOVE. I love this little person so much I almost can't stand it. She's changed my life in ways I never expected and has made me a better person. I'm so grateful for her love.
