Hey Mom look at me. . .I'm Tiger!

 

Oopps

In my element. . .

I love this little corner of my world. In my office with my
soulful jazz or passionate Mozart I am in another world. Sitting behind my desk where I began Pieces of Glass when it was just a painful journal that needed to be bled from my soul, to today with a brighter future and a lighter heart I'm so thankful for this spot. It's my constant in the sea of life, it's my oasis, it is everything I like about me. 

TOP 10 WAYS TO SUPPORT SK’s BOOK

2.Consider buying a copy for you, if you’re close to someone who is hurting and keep telling yourself “I just can’t imagine what she’s going through.”

I Live For This Smile!

Notice the drool--just another sign of teeth
on the way--so I'm trying to snap as many pictures
of that little toothless smile while I can. 

Silly Mommy

Sophia LOVES to swing! 

Helping Mommy!

We're handy women! Sophia and mommy
put together a crib at Nana's--Sophia's a great
supervisor. 

The picture of relaxation

Whoa that was a great massage! This is the way we
get a massage from Nana--lucky girls!

Handles

Ow! Ow! Ow! Let go. Let go please!
Once upon a time I had the misguided impression that a women's hair was her crowning glory. Long, short, curly, straight, blond, brunette, blue it didn't matter it was was her's to style in keeping with her identity.
Recently I've discovered that was just another pre-baby fantasy.

Hair, in actuality is a handle. Created specifically for little ones to steady themselves or more importantly gain your complete attention-instantly. Sophia it seems is loving her new found power. This was never more obvious than on Saturday having a chance to shower and spend a little time on myself (usually one or the other-rarely both.) Even having a new dress to go out in I felt lovely and completely "unmommy like." That was until I tried to walk out the door-past Nate who was holding my little angel.
Ow! Ow! Ow! I cried out in alarm-stumbling backwards into the house.
Stealthfully Sophia decided to remind me of my mommyhood and had stuck her little hand into my curly hair at the exact moment I walked past the door. In and of itself this wouldn't seem so premeditated had she not also latched on with surprising quickness and a vice-like grip.

Now I know the real reason mom's either cut their hair or wear it up 24-7. And here I just thought it was b/c we didn't have time to shower. Handles. . . you heard it here first.

Mayday! Mayday! We have a bib emergency!

Why is it that when our kids get in a jam instead
of rushing to their aid we grab our camera's first? 

Mmmmm Pears

When Sophia started drinking water out of my
glass and fixating on my food we knew it was time.
Time for food--wow does she like it! See how my
mom is holding her hand--little miss independance
would be feeding herself if she got her way.
