Stay tuned...

I know some of you are wondering where NB's 9 month post is.  Believe me, I would like to have written it by now.  I had planned to yesterday and again today, but nap time (my writing time) has been harder than expected.  Yesterday, in general, was one of the toughest days I can remember in the last few months.  I spent much of they day wanting to either go a few rounds with a punching bag (not that I ever have) or cry hysterically.  In the midst of a very trying day for me and both boys, LO offered the following.  We were driving home from the park and NB had taken a break from screaming because he was holding my hand.  Yes, I was driving.  Yes, his seat is in the back. No, I don't recommend anyone drive that way.

Anyway, LO yelled up to the front, "Mommy are you bleeding/breathing/breeding?" (I wasn't sure about the last word.

"What buddy? I can't hear you over the wind while I'm driving."

 "Are you breathing?" he asked, further enunciating the last word.

"Yes, I am."

 "Why?"

It was nice to have a chuckle in the midst of all the chaos.

Shortly thereafter, LO yelled up to the front seat:

"Mommy, stop driving, I can't hear you!"

Here are some park pics to tide you over.  Yes, it really was 78 degrees and sunny today. Stay tuned for the 9 month post coming soon...maybe.

First time on a slide, he'd rather try to pull up than slide down

Big brother showing off his muscles

First time on a swing (as far as I know) and big brother  was pushing.   I  think they both enjoyed it.

Big brother looks so natural on the big swings now. If only I could get him to pump those legs!
