just like that…


{this moment}

{this moment}


feeling the weight of her body curled up in my lap
her soft belly against mine
her legs stretch up- toes pressed to my lips. a little game, and cheeky grin spread across her face- eyes lit up

her little fingers find the soft of my inner arm and begin their rhythmic pinching… like a cat kneading it’s mama’s belly…

savouring these moments.

{this moment} taking you with me

day in the life

i’ve been wanting to do a ‘day in the life’ series again. i did it once before– and of course i can’t find it.. the lovely tiffany reminded me, and it’s been on my mind ever since.
a series where you take snapshots throughout the day as it unfolds.  at first i was going to write about what we did to go along with the pictures, but… now that i think about it. i think it’d be best told with just pictures.
( i forgot to bring my camera along when we popped out to the grocery )  *next time i do this i think i will set a timer every hour and just snap a picture of whatever is happening right then

here goes..

weeeeeeeeeee sleep deprived

. sitting in the tarmac for two hours with the engines off, no air conditioning. waiting for the storm to pass.
. running to gate with baby on front, backpack on back. heavy ass carry on trailing behind, and folded up stroller in the other hand. only to find that the flight out has been delayed as well
. aisle seat with a woman and her daughter, the mother rolled her eyes and huffed and puffed upon learning that she would be sitting next to a baby.
. upon landing, sitting there smugly with a baby that was either happy and smiling, or sleeping the entire flight. hopefully that lady won’t be an asshat to the next babymama she sees.  oh well, it looks like it will be raining for her entire trip through ireland. maybe the airline lost her luggage.
. arriving in faery land. baby girl sees her papa for the first time in nearly a month, lights up in a big smile.
. crisp, cool, refreshing atlantic air to breathe
. napping on and off with babe
. dreams of werewolves
. curry cooked by my man.
. sleepless night. skyping with mama and the cat, london.
. today spent napping on and off.

don’t i get some girlscout mom badge for international travel with a baby? ;)

also. the GIRL (teen. about 17) was texting on her phone a little note about her journey so far, i happened to glance and see ‘the lady sitting next to me has a baby, but it’s asleep… it’s ridiculously fat’

first off.. LADY???!? how much older does she think i am? woah… woah man.
and i can’t help but laugh at ‘ridiculously fat’

. i don’t really know what day it is. considering that the sleep i have had since being home has been in nap increments with an 11 month old.
. baby jet lag plus teething is awesome. do i get another badge for that one? or maybe i should just get a cocktail
. it’s 5am, i’m hungry… the only thing in it to eat is a frozen pizza, that’s okay right? it’d be even better if i had some oreos to go with it.

- i’ll try to update with something. something. something. in the next few days.  oooh we’ll see
