Impeccable Radar...

One week down, 8 to go until summer vacation!  And there were ZERO TEARS from this Mama on her first week back to work.  I knew Ledger was in the best hands...

No tears, but there was a Venti every.single.day... 

Aunt Christy was here this week helping out on the home front, and I am going to go ahead and say Ledger ate better, napped better (in his crib - not the garage), was all smiles and like the perfect 9 week old baby!  I even got to take an Ambien TWICE because Christy insisted on doing the feedings Tuesday and Wednesday.  I did not even argue with her one bit on that one.  That is MOMMA GOLD!

She is pretty much the baby whisperer...  Brad and I begged her to stay, even putting together a deal that we would pay for Cody and Marlowe's weekend trip here once a month, but she didn't bite:)  She had to return to Rockwall, seeing that she has a life of her own. Darn the luck:)

 Ledger loved his Auntie Christy.  

 She sent me this one during the day this week and I thought..."Good Lord - My child is huge!"  Just a bad angle...  

 When she sent me this on Monday, I about fell out of my chair!  Napping in the crib????  

We don't do that here at 1224 Magnolia Alley!  Or so I thought.  Baby whisperer I tell you...

And I swear Ledger has the most perfect radar...  Anytime I try and lay down for a nap or when Brad and I try to have a somewhat of an adult, relaxed dinner, he needs us (or needs attention).  As soon as the first bite of food hits our lips, the cries, yelps, and pathetic groaning commences telling us that he is due for some kind of attention.  SIGH...

Well, the same thing with church.  Two Sundays in a row, I have heard about 10 words of the sermon.  Brad has to give me the Reader's Digest version on the way home.  We try and plan it all out the last possible minute to feed him, then nap on the way to Starbuck's, and then on to church where he will peacefully sleep through the hour and 15 minute service....  But it never works out that way.  Isn't that LIFE!  Ledger and I just hang out in the foyer.  Maybe I'll be brave and try the nursery next week...  Umm probably not...

SO.....  Ledger 2 Church 0.  Maybe 3rd time's a charm!

Seriously out of control.  It's a good 4 inches on the top of his head.  Awesome...

Last night's dinner...  Baby, beach towel and crab legs on fancy plates all while dining on the floor.  What more could one want?  (And he groaned the entire dinner as if he wasn't close enough to us...)  The groaning came to a complete stop when I picked little guy up.  

He looked at me and I know he was thinking, "SUCKER!"

Off to get Bob at the airport.  Woohoo - He is getting spoiled two weeks in a row.  I am sure he will be as delightful for his Bob as he was for his aunt.

 With all kidding aside, I love this little guy.  And his impeccable radar. 

Happy Monday tomorrow everyone...

Love,
