Jan. 9th: Teething beads!!! Thank you Ashley Miles for this awesome gift! For those of you that don't know, the teal colored necklace are teething beads. They are super cute for Mommas to wear and super safe for babies to teeth on! Genius! Lately Max has been chewing on and eating everything!! I mean everything! See January 10th's picture for more on that...
Jan. 10th: That is not food! Does anyone else have a little babe that eats books???? Max will literally gnaw off the paper, chew it and swallow it. I love that he is so interested in books but I can't turn my back for a second because he will start eating them. In better news, that is a delicious glass of wine lurking back there. I've started weight watchers to help lose this baby weight that has crept back on since I stopped breast feeding...and I just learned that Barefoot Mascato is only 1 point! Yessss!
Jan. 11th: So here is my story about ladybugs. I believe they are a sign from my grandmother. Stay with me. I don't think she has come back inside if it, a la Phoebe Buffet. She passed away January 19th 2010 after coming down with pneumonia. She was in the hospital for a few days, first in the ICU then in a regular room upstairs. I think it was the day before she went to heaven and I was sitting in a large window cill at the hospital just looking out the window and thinking about her when a ladybug crawled right in front of me. At the time I didn't think much of it. Although I did think it was strange to see a ladybug in January. Maybe thats normal, I don't know much about bugs. And ever since she has passed I seem to see them whenever I am really missing her or thinking about her a lot. We just recently took a trip to Disney World with my whole family over Thanksgiving. My Mommom loved Florida and seeing all her grandkids and great grandkids have fun in Disney. As we were walking into one of the parks my dad pointed out that there was a ladybug on my leg. Of all the legs it could have landed on it chose mine. I don't think that its a coincidence. And yesterday my dad and I were talking about her and how overjoyed she would be with all the new babies born in our family and this morning when I woke up this little guy was hanging out in my bathroom. Although my heart still hurts from losing her, and my eyes are forming tears right now, I know she is in the best place with my Granddad. And I truly think that ever so often she sends a little ladybug my way to let me know she is still with me.
