The Mommy Talks

It's 5:30 am. I went to bed at about 11:45. Nathaniel woke up at 1:45...and never went back to sleep. I'm reasonably sure the he hates me. I tried holding him, putting him in bed with me and Ava. Putting him in bed with Mark. Giving him a bottle. Letting him hang out in the living room or awhile. Giving him orange juice. Tylenol. The whole nine yards. Finally, I decided to let him cry it out-- He decided that he could crawl out of his crib. Fabulous. Thank GOD that I heard the thud, b/c I'd left his door open and the gate at the top of the stairs was NOT closed. He just finished smashing bananas onto the table. Then tried crawling on top of the table. And I am ready to kill myself. Guess I'm off to get ready for work. Joy!

Nathaniel did a faceplant onto the pavement just before I got home from work on Friday. Apparently, he tripped over the threshold of the backdoor, fell down that step, and caught his foot on the mat. To add insult to injury, he also has a cold so the sore under his nose is getting lots of nasty snot all over it. Ug.

 

Since Hurricane Ike, we've had almost no gas in Atlanta...

My Parents with the happy couple...

 

 

 

The wedding was beautiful. It started to rain ever so lightly as she was walking down the aisle. Not enough to ruin anything, but just enough be really good luck. She looked gorgeous (of course!). The left for their honeymoon 1st thing in the morning. It was awesome to see all of our friends and family. I only wish that we had more time to visit with everyone before they had to head back home. Ava had a blast hanging out with her cousin Hannah and her BFF's Alon and Jacob.
