Welcome Spring!

Cannon is 10 weeks! Wow, how time goes by too quickly! Thankfully, the warmer weather is here and we can put away the winter stuff! Sunshine is one of those amazingly wonderful "freebies" in life that God grants us!

This past weekend was fabulous, and we enjoyed it with my parents in North Augusta. Cannon and I enjoyed a walk through downtown North Augusta (where I used to jog back in the day...) He also enjoyed playing with Grammy and Poppa as well as with his cousins, Dylan and Shelby. He went to his cousin, Olivia's, 6th Birthday party as well. I must say he was the most handsome fella there! :)

Cannon at 7 Weeks

Who could not love this little one??? Cannon is the most precious gift and it's so hard for me to get anything done around the house muchless get myself together each day...I have to make such a conscious effort to to the simple things I used to do! The best solution for that is when I have to meet a client since that forces me to get a shower, do hair and my makeup!

Anytime Cannon's awake, I feel like I need to be talking or reading to him and when he finally goes to sleep, I have like an hour to do four hours worth of stuff--work on the computer, make phone calls/appointments, LAUNDRY, cleaning, and be a wife somewhere in between! Brian is so patient and he's very good with Cannon.

Okay, enough venting....Motherhood is one of the best gifts but it just takes us TYPE A personalities a bit longer to adjust!

Business....

It's been so busy around here yet it seems most days consist of nursing, changing diapers, playing with Cannon and holding and loving on him and finally putting him down to rest....the next thing I know, he's awake and we start all over again! Motherhood is an amazing gift and I pray I get better and better with time!

I have continuted to work and am thankful for that. Today, I showed houses for about five hours, and Daddy and Cannon had some bonding time. I really wish I could be a stay-at-home mom, but right now, we need my income so that's the way it goes....hopefully with time, I will be able to focus 100% on being a wife and mommy...

One thing I really need to work on is being more sociable with my sweet friends. It's so difficult though! I'm going to make a conscious effort to be a better friend and get more involved very soon! I definitely know that living out here in Chapin makes it difficult, but I don't see us moving away anytime soon.

Meeting More Friends...

On Tuesday, I got to meet one of mommy's good friends from high school, Miss Marianne and her daugher, Ella. We met at the Boll Weevil in Downtown Augusta. (Ella just turned a year and is going to have a baby brother or sister in September! ) CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Monday evening, I got to meet Sara Grace, Miss Kelly's daugher and Owen, Miss Ashley's son! We had fun, and Owen even got to taste one of my books! (I cannot wait until I can do that:)

Meeting my New Friends...

Today, Miss Julie and Anna (6 months) came by to meet me and brought dinner to Mommy and Daddy! I think Anna wanted to give me a kiss. :) Anna had on these really cute tights and Mommy didn't even have anything covering my legs! Luckily, it was warm outside. After they left, we went for a walk since it was such a nice day.

Miss Ashley and Ella (12 weeks) brought dinner to Mommy and Daddy last week! I was sleeping but Ella was wide awake! I cannot wait to get older so we can play together. (I hope I get as much hair as she has pretty soon because my head gets cold!)

Three Weeks old...

Bentley and Winston are doing so well with Cannon! They act like he's always been a part of our family. I'm so glad for this since we were extremely concerned about how the dogs would adjust to the new addition. Winston likes to cuddle under Cannon while I'm nursing and sometimes, I rest Cannon on top of Winston.

Daddy Fed me for the First Time!

Cannon had his first bottle last weekend....I was so scared but decided it was time to give it a try....I pump quite a bit so it was no problem....He did great and seems to like the Playtex nurser bottles. This was nice since Brian was able to feed him for the first time. Hopefully, I will get a break every now and then and Brian can have a chance to "bond and feed". Luckily, Cannon nurses very well and thankfully, I've not had any issues with breastfeeding. He definitely likes to eat every three hours BUT LAST NIGHT, he slept 5 hours!!! YIPPEE!!!
