Snooze

Ever wish baby monitors came with a snooze button? 

This morning around 4:30 am I reached over to hit the snooze button - only it wasn't my alarm. It was the boys' monitor. Boys - when you are reading this someday...4:30 is TOO EARLY! Moms don't get to take naps every day!

My "preemies" Prior and Mason. 
Curious what our 'secret' is to the weight gain? 
Eating every 3 hours in the middle of the night...

Maslow's Hierarchy


Remembers Maslow's hierarchy of needs? I don't recall all of the details other than it being about "needs".  

Today Mason reminded me of one of those needs...

The feeling of being "needed".

I know the boys need their mama, but to this point they haven't learned how to express it (unless you count crying at 2 and 5 am).

We were over at the neighbors for a birthday party. There were quite a few people and the neighbor was holding Mason. They were across the room and he was happy. They walked towards me. Mason saw me, recognized me, let out a few whimpers, reached both arms out and leaned towards me.

I swooped him up and at that very moment I fell even more in love with Mason...

and I thought that wasn't even possible. 



(*for the extra-observant - the picture above is of Prior. The post is about Mase so I thought a picture of Prior would be fair).

Sweet Potatoes


Up next on the menu: sweet potatoes. (Although by the looks of Mason's cheeks you may have guessed nuts).

The boys love them.
