Playing Catch Up!

It's been almost a month since I've had a chance to write a new blog post, and that's a good thing! While I haven't had much spare time, I am counting my blessings because (other than work) I've been spending lots of time doing the things I love. I have been blessed with lots of photography sessions, and it has been so fun to watch my business grow (now that Delaina Marie Photography is an OFFICIAL business!) and getting to know so many new people. I have also been super busy trying to keep up with baby Price who has suddenly decided that he doesn't want to be a little baby anymore.

Baby Price turned 7 months on April 14th and is on the move! He is crawling, using one knee and one foot, and kind of looks like that scary thing from "The Grudge." It's so funny to watch and he is super proud of himself! He is also pulling up on EVERYTHING, grabbing at anything within reach, and is obsessed with RUNNING any and everywhere in his walker. He is also officially a food lover, like real food, not baby food. I still home make his baby food purees, but he would much rather eat off of mom and dad's plate. He still isn't much into trying to talk, but loves saying, "hey, dada!" any time his dad is around. He's a complete mess, but definitely the cutest mess I've ever seen! We are going to have our hands full for sure!

In the last month, with all of the craziness that is our lives, we also decided that we really needed some uninterrupted family time so we decided to take a little camping trip to Orange Beach, one of our favorite not-too-far-from-home get aways! We had THE best time and have decided to try to do it once a month if we are able. It was so nice to spend time with my husband and baby with no place to be and nothing we had to do.  Price loves being outside, which we were the whole time, and I think he is also going to be a beach bum like his mom and dad. Getting back to reality this week has been tough, and Price was super sad to see daddy go back to work this week.

My Typical "Mama Morning"

This morning was just great. Fantastic. A pleasure. 

Actually, I think my morning started out last night. 

Price got his 6 month shots yesterday. To say that he didn't have a good reaction would be an understatement. He fell asleep for a couple of hours, and once he woke up, he was feverish and miserable. Except for an hour of him speed demoning around the house in his walker, he was not a very happy boy. My sweet baby slept from about 9:30- 3:00am, and then was so miserable he couldn't fall back to sleep for over an hour. Did I mention that my alarm goes off at 6:00 for work? 

So, of course my husband and I overslept this morning. We woke up around 6:30 when Price gave us a nice wailing 2nd alarm. In order for everyone to be at their designated destinations on time, we should be leaving the house around 6:45. At 7:15, when we were ALMOST out of the door, Price pooped. I go to change him, take his diaper off, and he continues to poop... all over the changing table. Then, he pees...all over his face, clothes, and the wall. We stripped down everything, and into the tub he goes! Good news: Price thinks that all of this is hilarious, and he is now a happy baby! 

Once everything was finally straightened out, Daddy decides that he will help me out by taking Price to the babysitter. I run around to get ready for work, feed the dogs, and get out of the house in time for my morning hallway duty (had to happen on a duty day!) and.... the truck (because Terry had my car because of the car seat)...has. a. flat. tire. 

Happy Thursday! Thank goodness it is my Friday!
