Slow down a minute
This week was all topsy-turvy. Hard to describe the feeling. Lots of changing weather, lots happening at home, lots of work to do for all the cool couples working with us to wrap up their super cool wedding albums. It never slowed for a second.
Thursday Sara was out of town for an overnight business trip and I got to watch Adrian for most of two days. Yes, I can change a diaper, and fast when you’re up against a wiggly baby boy. My sis Genna stopped by and helped so I could catch up some house work and eventually some photo work. Later Adrian went to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa so Daddy could get more office work done when Aunt Genna left.
Today was just me with my baby boy. Last weekend marked his 9 months birthday 
and he’s sprouted so much lately. I’ve gotta brag on him! He’s got 8 little teeth now, loves to speed crawl across pretty much anything to get into pretty much anything. He loves TV remotes, so many buttons and all the grown ups seem to always play with them. Toys are great, but he loves putting a DVD box on the floor and putting his hands on it and crawling with his new found glider to slide across the floor. He’s definitely got “Dada” and “Mama” down and is working on so many more little words.
Today he was doing great with eating, sleeping, and playing schedules. Yesterday he was awake from 8am breakfast to 4pm when he finally passed out after fighting sleep for most of an hour. 8 hours awake is like a college final exam all-nighter session for a 9 month old! Today, however, he had a nice long nap after lunch. I went to wake him up so he wouldn’t be too awake late tonight and he was snuggling his favorite monkey stuffed animal “Munkus.” I grabbed a camera to freeze this peaceful nap before I got him out of bed. I had to wake him up but wanted to be sure and hold onto this adorable, calm moment before he gets too big too fast. Sometimes you just need to slow down a sec and enjoy little moments.

Man…The things I miss by being gone. He’s getting so big… And, checking out that full head of hair… I mean, I’m in Paris and all, but yeah… Some things I wish I could be around for.
