Repeat after me:

I love being a mom

I love being a mom

I love being a mom

(These don't even do it justice-it was up to his shoulder blades!)

I love being a mom

By the way...this happened at 12:25 AM.

what happens when daddy does laundry when mommy does homework...





Notice his "mom...do you see what dad is doing to me right now?" face & also note that this is 2 different laundry days.

Big Chief

You may remember the big chief story from here or here.
Unfortunately Q went through a growth spurt during Christmas break and I didn't take his onesie with us. SO when we got back, he was too big for his little squire shirt...but we took a couple pictures for the memories haha.

Daddy dressed me!

I love my sweet husband, I really do. And in his defense, he really tries. But sometimes, I can't help but wonder what he's thinking when he dresses Quintin. Let me explain:

Case 1-

Both the onesie and the pants are part of two different sets. Their matching pieces were both clean this day...but Steven put him in this.

Case 2- The least worst.

At least he kinda matches...too bad that hat is kinda small for his head ;)

Case 3-

Forgot to button the onesie. Figured it out after but handed him to me like this anyways.

Case 4-

It was snowing outside. I didn't even know we had a pair of shorts in 0-3 mos. He did have a jacket on at least (except when I took this picture). I kept waiting for him to spit up on his outfit so I could put him in pants but he never did so I guess he liked this one.


All I can say is, at least he tries, right?
