6 Months Old Evan

I love my chunky monkey!

He LOVES to talk...the kid won't shut up! Screams, babbles...if it includes making some type of noise from his body..he will do it!

He can almost sit up on his own...he does for about 30 seconds before falling over

He is FINALLY sleeping in the crib....and sleeps all night (most of the time, unlike last night)

He think's Avery is the funniest person!

He does NOT like the cat.....at ALL

He's such a fun baby...I love making him giggle and smile, it makes my day! I love him!

Randoms

I have been married for as of today 1 Year, 1 Month, 1 Week & 1 Day! Hahahaha............

Today I got an lovely call at work. I had to put someone on hold. I told him I was going to do so, except I just muted my mic, that way if he needed to ask me something I could hear him.....well he didn't realize I was still there.....so he starts to call his "lover"

Him: Hey Lover..I bet you can't talk dirty cause you have a client huh? Ahhh yes....ok well I am on hold with (My Company's name) as soon as I'm done with this call I'm heading on over there...and starts to giggle...see you soon ok?

Yeah I'm pretty sure my ears are still bleeding.....that's what I get for not putting them on hold! Goss guy, plain gross!!!!!!!

Last night we took the kids to Mcdonalds for dinner to give me a break from making dinner and to let the kids run around like the monkeys they are. Evan hung out with us old folks for obvious reasons....Right before we left (this was the reason as to WHY we left) Toby comes up to me with his hands out....towards me...

Toby: Mom ewww..stinky poop

Me: WHAT??!!

Richard: (Snickering) He said stinky poop

Me: Yeah...I Heard him...Thanks...

Toby: Mom stinky poop and starts to put his fingers in my face.......

Me: NOT IT!!!!!!

Guess who had to go clean him up? Yeah...Me.....Thankfully it was his own Stinky Poop.....Seriously? This kid needs to finish up being potty trained ASAP...ewwwwwwww

It's a good thing he's CUTE!

This is WHY I Want A Girl

This is Regan...She is my great friend Brandi's little girl. Isn't she beautiful? I love boys but you just can't put them in dress's without people talking....blah blah blah! It may never happen....but kinda hope it does....Calm down! I'm not trying anytime soon!

30 Letters Day 29 The Person That You Want Tell Everything To, But Too Afraid To

I honestly don't know who to write this to, because...

1. I can't STAND drama.....you wanna cause drama...I will pretty much cut you out of my life almost instantly

2. If I want to tell someone something, I will...it might take a bit to figure out how to tell them what I want to say or if I need to gather further information to make sure I am asking the right questions or how to ask them etc etc...I have learned it's not good to hold something in especially if it's something that is hurting me.

So honestly there is not a single person I can think of to write this to!
