I'm a mom..
I've been thinking.. after months and months of dreaming and thinking about this little peanut in my belly.. trying to imagine what life is like "on the other side.." I'm here, and it feels like this is all I've known! It feels like I've been doing this all my life, it's hard to imagine anything else!
For all you mommies out there, you know what I mean..
which brings me to my list:
You know you're a mom when..
.. parking your car brings a new strategy to the game. Not just parking close to the door, but as close to a shopping cart corral as you can..
.. you have a stash of earrings in your car. After many attempts at wearing earrings, and quickly learning that they are just a toy to be yanked out of your ear.
.. you park in the "mother with infant" spot even without the baby.. just cuz you deserve it.
.. your facebook status went from news of Friday night's events on the town to the latest diaper rash solution or your baby's first burp. (it's true!)
.. it's a good day when you only had to wear one shirt, and managed to get by with minimal milk/drool/food stains.
.. every time you go to eat with the little one in tow, you don't really remember eating.. somehow you manage to inhale your food while stuffing food in the mouth, picking up dropped food, telling them to stay seated..
oh the list goes on.
Sound about right, my mother friends? Feel free to add to the list.. :)
Happy Monday!

winter Thursday
What do you do on a cold, gray Thursday in the middle of winter.. when your husband went back to work?!
(yes, Luke got a job!! He's super pumped and loving it so far.. but I wasn't really minding the no work thing. I guess you need money to live though huh...)
This is how Leyton and I spend our days.
we look out the window, climb up the cupboard.. practice crawling, practice standing.
drink some milk (he's really got the sippy cup thing down!)
look at Easton out the window, wishing we could go outside and play.
Oh wow, I'm even getting bored reading this blog. I don't do winter so well, I really don't. See ya in April.

1st steps
Here is the video of Leyton's first steps! Stubborn little dude did it a bunch that night but won't do it since. He's so close.. it's a mental game now. He could do it, he'd just rather crawl and get there faster. Very much a Leyton thing to do... stinker.
This is January 17, 2011.. proud of you little buddy!

mullet be gone
First haircut for Leyton! Luke would like the record to state that he was against this.. he wanted to keep rockin the mullet but I wasn't in favor. So I have my son his first haircut! It was a bit of a chaotic process. How do get our crazy little man to sit/stand/lay still long enough to use a sharp object? We tried sitting on Luke's lap.. with treats, with water.. anything. I got one cut but it wasn't happening. So we ended up in the bathtub and that seemed to work. Gosh he looks like a boy! I just cut it in the back, but even that.. you can see his neck now! Here's the evidence.
The before shot. I mean, really...
Attempt #1.
Try this again..
He has emotions about all this..
Oh, and.. Leyton attended his first birthday party! His little buddy, Liam Gotto turned ONE! It was so fun.. 5 little boys got to hang out all around the same age.. within about 3 months of each other. So many boys around here!
P.s. Hello to (great!) Grandma & Grandpa Prosser... they came to visit this week to celebrate the marriage of Luke's uncle Nate & Megan (congrats!). Leyton was a bit skeptical but did warm up to them. :)

boring.
Oh, I got new shoes. I'm pretty excited about them.. they're my winter shoes that aren't wimpy flats or boots (ugh, sick of boots) What do you think?
Oh and I suppose this is big news.. Leyton took his first steps a few nights ago! I have a video, so I'll upload it shortly. Have a good Thursday!

one of those days..
We've had a rough few days around the Prosser house. It started with a few rough nights of sleep for the little guy, a few crabby days. We went to the doctor to find out that poor, sweet Leyton (he wasn't poor, sweet Leyton while he being a crab).. he has a double ear infection, double eye infection, was working with a fever and a mouthful of sore gums waiting for more teeth! That's no fun for anyone! But we got him medicine and are on our way to recovery.
Thank the Lord for medicine!
Another hiccup.. our computer crashed! (again!) I know, I know, Apple computers shouldn't crash. And they shouldn't.. but they do. Maybe it's because of the massive amount of use it gets between Luke and I, but it broke. Luke was in the Apple store all day yesterday trying to figure it out, so it's away at the computer doctor right now trying to get fixed.
Is there medicine for that? Probably, it just costs a dang lot.
So, yes, I have been on the verge of tears for a few days. I didn't actually cry, because I seem to constantly realize that it's not that bad. While running errands yesterday, I witnessed a poor old man bracing himself in between two older women and having to sit in the middle of the parking lot because he couldn't make it inside. In the end, the ambulance had to take him away. Now that's sad, that's the tough stuff.. oof.
I am SO grateful for my life, for my everydays, for my family, my friends, my God! Love this verse I found today. "So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls." Hebrews 6:18, 19
That's what I need. On days like to today, I really need a strong anchor for my soul. Thank you Lord, for this reminder.
On another note, Leyton is adorable lately, he really is. He's looking so much older! Like a little boy.. a little boy heading off to pre-school.
oh no, here comes the tears.

my Rockstar.
This shirt is so funny! It was a hand-me-down from Luke's cousin before we knew we were having a girl or a boy. It was one shirt that we set aside thinking, oh if we have a boy.. this will be a fun one. He's here and it fits! If I haven't said it lately.. it's so fun to dress a boy! He looks like a little rocker man!
Just a typical Monday around Leyton's house.
oh and look at his teeth! atta kid!
And from another day.. starting the Apple trend early..
whew. What a handsome boy! Just need to look at those to feel better about the rough couple days we've had. Fever, little sleep, waking up at night, crabby.. teeth coming in? You'd think.. or just his evil master plan to throw us off once we get too comfortable. But tears and laughs, he's our boy!

10 months!
This couldn't be more appropriate for his 10 month picture. He's been showing all of his emotions lately! Lots of good ones, but he definitely has his opinions.. this one about standing up. I imagine that someday when he gets married (.. someday, far, far away) this one will bring a lot of laughter in his slideshow!
Our little Leyton Christian, you have been changing a lot lately!
You have more and more of a personality everyday. You already love to entertain people and make them laugh. You are a pretty big flirt, and love to flash your big smile at anyone that shows a little interest. You are definitely Mr. Social and love when there's a bunch of people around! You don't really want to walk yet.. you are a lot more stable and can stand up on your own. But when you want to get somewhere, speed is key, so you'd rather crawl! You have been milking your sad face lately and really let us know when you don't like something.
You still eat a lot, 3 meals a day, with 4 milks. (milks?) You have two teeth and are working on a third. You talk a lot more lately and love to hear your voice! Your friend at Panera yesterday said you were going to be a singer. You say "da-da" a lot and also just "daD." You say "ma-ma," especially when you want some mommy attention. You still take two great naps and sleep 12 hours at night.
We love getting to know your fun personality! We couldn't be more proud of you and love to show you off. It's a gift to be able to spend each day with you!
