Almost 5 months, REALLY?

So guys, it's true. Max is approaching. Little guy is tuckered out after screaming all morning, bless his heart... tummyaches are the devil. We had a fantastico month thus far... since I last updated my little tiger has learned to wallow all over the floor flipping around front back, side side, frontfront backback side to side... you get the picture. He's also found his tongue, which is a hilarious sight to see! Randomly he'll just start poking it out and be like "Hey guys, what's up... my tongue... loook!" I wish I had a pic or a video to upload but I've been neglecting that kindof too :( But oh what a joy he's becoming. So far he's been exposed to rice cereal, sweet peas, bananas, and sweet potatoes. I'm pretty sure after last night I'm going to stick with Gerber organics. I got some really cheap brand because they had the most variety and I'm trying to get him to try as many things as he can right now. I won't deviate again. So far he absolutely ADORES sweet potatoes... good thing, because Daddy won't eat them with me so I hardly ever make them. Now I'll have a reason to :) Okay, so let me know any moms out there if you read this: Did DST mess with your child's sleep patterns? We used to have little Maxwell sleeping from 10-11 until 6. Now he won't sleep like that anymore since the change. It's quite tiring, literally. And I have been racking my brains trying to figure out how to get him back on that schedule. I liked it a whole lot :)
On another note, Momma might be graduating by the end of this year if I can figure everything out (YAAAAAAY from the audience)!!!! I just have to figure out if I want to stay in Marketing or if I want to continue on with law school... such a tough decision. I'm really enjoying learning the ins and outs of marketing. I've got two AWESOME professors right now who make it real enjoyable to go to class and really stimulate thinking... I'll be with them til the very end of my undergraduate studies, I'm afraid for their sake! Anyone out there have any insight on law school vs. Marketing grad school? I guess it's always out there if I want to go and try it. Law school that is. I'm really leaning towards Marketing grad school. Well in the end I want to be able to give my boys all that I can while simultaneously enjoying what I do and I have a hankering I'll enjoy either.
Anyway, gotta end this soon. It's slowly approaching 9 am, wake time for Max and we're heading to my dad's for some family time before little brother comes in June and to get out for Spring Break since we're poor parents and have to work hard for da money.

Let me go off on a tangent here too:
I am very very very blessed. I know I keep saying it time and time again. But I keep seeing a lot of unstable relationships with people having kids and then it not being the optimal outcome. Bry and I were able to overcome alot, grow closer, and Max will never have to worry about splitting time between Momma and Poppa as long as we have any say in it. We decided a while ago we're a team, it's up to us to figure things out and I'm so thankful he has the same views I do. I don't know what I would do sometimes without him. He's more than I ever imagined from the day I met him :) Most of all, he's an AMAZING dad... and that's the utmost importance to me right now. Gotta have the best for my tiny tiger!

Dear Maximo,

I have a feeling very shortly here you're not going to be the happiest of campers when I wake you up. I still love you a whole whole bunch. Even though I have baggies under my eyes unable to camouflage (dangit Em, I still can't spell that word right the first time) the lack of sleep I get. I love spending time with you and you're learning slowly if not surely that Team Mommy is where it's at :) Actually I think Daddy said it's a phase where you only want your mommy that you're approaching and when I'm gona you're gonna scream your little lungs out. Don't worry dabooboo, I would never leave you in harms way or do anything that would compromise your well-being. That's above and beyond you right now though :) Let's go and have a good time little in Branson today my little rascal, and show Grandpa all the new tricks you've learned. Of course we're gonna have to call Daddy every chance we get. This time, no superexplosion when we go eat lunch, please & thank you :)

Love you little munchkin,
Mommy
