February.  Oy Vey!

you’ve been one crazy month.

I fell down stairs (among my greatest fears // won’t even attempt the spanish steps) and messed up my tailbone.  ouch!

JB was out of town for work on Valentine’s Day.  Corporate America ain’t got time for that.

JB turned 31.  And i usually celebrate his birth month with at least three cakes and crazy balloons.  This year, not so much due to sleep deprivation.
Felt like such a crummy wife. 

I got an ear infection.  Which had me in tears and in the fetal position a few nights.

Tuck went through his sixth week growth spurt which left me nursing. around. the. clock.  

And the latest… Tuck’s eye started swelling on Saturday night suddenly.  And while I’m generally calm in the face of adversity… all bets are off as a mom.  I called my doctor who told me to go to the ER.  We drove 45 minutes to the one with a pediatric care unit.  And it was gone.  All was left was a tiny white dot.  I am indeed the mom who almost went to the ER for a bug bite. 

 Babies first mosquito bite will not soon be forgotten.

With all of that crazyness… you’d think I’d be sad to see it go. 

But no…

it’s also the month tuck first really smiled at me.

It was somewhere around 2 am.  

He was hungry.  and I scooped him up and took him into the other room.

And then there it was.  the best sight!  

He just smiled so big. at ME!  

It was/is too much for my heart to take!

And he’s been smiling ever since… especially in his swing.
