As much as he pisses me off...............

..............He is still the best dog in the world. I don't think I could have asked for a better dog. Roscoe has been amazing with TJ since the day we came home from the hospital. All he wanted to do was help me take care of him. In the beginning if I were out of the room and TJ would start crying, Roscoe would come find me and start barking at me until I got back to him. It was so precious. There were times when TJ would be napping in his room and Roscoe would be missing. I would go search for him and find him laying in front of TJ's bedroom door. Roscoe isn't into TJ too much anymore. Now that TJ can crawl, Roscoe tries to stay out of his way cause he doesn't want to lose any fur. Roscoe has a foot fettish and when TJ is in his high chair Roscoe feels this is prime feet licking time! I can't keep Roscoe away. I trust Roscoe fully with TJ. I have no problem leaving TJ alone with Roscoe for a few minutes. TJ has sat and pulled on Roscoe numerous times and all he does is lay there and take it. I hope that as Roscoe gets older his attitude towards small children doesn't change. Here's to you Roscoe, my first son! Mommy still loves you!

One day at a time

As I sit here listening to TJ breath through the monitor I think of how wonderful the past 8 1/2 months have been. Crazy, but wonderful. Other moms always say that the first year goes by so fast and in the beginning I felt like it wasn't going by fast enough. Now, as I look back I wonder where it all went...............wow! As a stay at home mommy I thought I would be crazy by now not going to work every morning. I know, I know. Being a mom is a job, but you know what I mean. Amazingly enough I sit here semi-sane. I am slowly loosing my hair but I think that has something to do with the fact that TJ loves to pull it! I have almost forgot how to put makeup on because, lets face it, what's the point!? I live in my nursing tank-tops and comfy pants, unless I venture out into public.....................then I do manage to put a pair of jeans and an actual shirt on. I wish I had a reason to get all dolled up everyday but I don't think Target deserves that much devotion! Maybe once TJ gets older and we go out more I will start. But for now I will sit here comfortable!
