Did I mention my baby turned 5 years old?

Things to know about him:

He was 3 and half weeks early and very tiny.
He slept the first two months of his life.
I had to pump then feed him a bottle in his sleep.
He's a cuddler.
He loves to put his fingers in my hair and twist it around.
He stopped kissing me for a couple of months because he was too big.
He started giving me nice big smooches again about three weeks ago.
He only has two speeds. Fast and Asleep.
He likes to build things with stools, chairs, and blankets.
He always wants to play.
His favorite drink is chocolate milk warmed up seventeen times.
His favorite book is "The Big Blue Book."
He calls swords "sheens."
He believes that he won't have bad dreams if I read him a story before bed.
He often says, "Mom, I want to be hold."
He sits or stands on my back if I'm on the floor.
He gives spontaneous hugs.
His eyes are windows to heaven and my heart.
I think I've never been loved as much as right now.

    Five years old isn't a baby anymore!

    I hope his birthday is everything he wants it to be!

    When we get busy and sidetracked, it's easy to forget how blessed we truly are - thanks for the reminder!

    I've always considered June to be a freakin genius, but she is wrong: 5 is deffinitely still a baby. Especially if child in question is either the last born or the only born.

    I dread the day when my Shorty tells me to stop calling her baby girl.

    Awww, happy fifth birthday. I love the list - and some of those fun traits. 17 times to warm up the milk? yikes :) What a cutie!

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
