MIA



I have been a bad blogger. One of my new years resolutions is to be a better, more creative blogger. But for now you get another one of my this is why I am too busy to post, posts... my kids and my work, we are moving to a new house and out of the studio and bringing the studio to the new house which is why we are moving.

Cooper is now 5 months. I know, its ridiculous how fast the time has gone. I know none of you moms what to hear it but it has gone so smooth with him. He really is an awesome baby. With a capital A. That was dorky. A happy baby with little fuss. He has been sitting for about a month now, seriously sitting unassisted. And he is a big boy. Quote from a stranger while Jeremy had the boys out by himself "looks like you have yourself there a quarterback (Cohen) and a linemen (Cooper)!" (in a southern accent of course, you know the type)

But to make you moms feel better about my perfect baby... Cohen, well he is a different story. He is 2.5, killing me slowly everyday. No bed time before 10pm, no nap without a fight, no meal without a fight. He wants to do it his way ALL the time... Yes, he is in full blown terrible twos. I think Cooper is so good because well, Cohen, yup sorry bud, your just so bad! You say bad words and justify why you say them, you open up other kids presents at their birthday party because you have convinced yourself that every kids birthday is really your birthday. You refuse to change from your pj's into day attire and refuse to change from day attire into your pj's. I just cannot win. However even though I feel defeated daily by you, you bring me joy... like when you say things are D-ALICIA instead of delicious just to be sweet to me, and when you say "momma I miss you or momma I love you" because you want to stay up and not go to bed. When you do the twist to Chubby Checker and the Fatboys to cheer Grumpa up. Or when you say "oh hims cute" when talking about Cooper but my favorite is when you ask to babysit Cooper... you get nervous when you ask, like I am going to attack you for asking, you stutter and say "ca-ca-can I babysit Cooper today mum?" just like every time you as I seriously consider it because #1 I am so tired most days I do not care who watches my kids, and #2 because your free. Then better judgment sets in and I tell you, when your 3! You smile and go about your day. I love that its that simple for you.

So check out my latest work on my photography BLOG, and soon I will have my new blog up and running soon like a month. I will try to post 5 month pics of Cooper.

Lish, you should become a writer on top of photography ... Isn't life fun though? Wish I was there to help alleviate some of the burden.

Thanks patti... We wish you were here too. It's not a burden just a headache from time to time... The kind you need relief from every once in a while. You are always welcome to visit.

I agree with Jocelyn ... Cohen's hair is long and he looks so darn innocent you just can't believe he has a stinker streak to him!
