Camping July 2012

A few weekends ago we headed to the Great Allegheny Passage to do some biking and camping with some of our friends.  We loaded up our bike trailers with our gear and biked a little over a mile to our {somewhat} remote campsite.  Lennon loved it!  We were worried about how he would sleep, but we brought a tent big enough to fit the pack n' play and he did just fine.  He thought the inside of the tent was a big bounce house and loved flopping around in there.  Even though a lot of it was grass, he got SO dirty - and loved it.  Our first camping trip with Lennon was a success and we're excited to do it again.

August 1

We did it.  We survived the 365 day crash-course of parenthood.  It's been hard, especially when we don't have a darn clue what we're doing.  But we're learning.  And loving every minute of it.

 I'm obsessed with him.  My thoughts, actions, dreams, meal-preparations, free-time, and nightmares are all centered around him.

 Every night at the dinner table we make noises at each other.  We squish our noses and sniff at each other.  We tilt our heads to the side and look at each other sideways.  We purposefully bonk our heads together and think it's funny.  Every. Single. Time.

I'm his mom.  And so proud of it.  If this year is any indication of how my life is going to be forever, I can't wait.
