my itty bitty helper

the picture on the right sums of my life of my time working in the kitchen.
maxson clinging to my legs while moaning for my attention to pick him up.
poor boy.
and then, so as not to let him fall, i have to keep my legs planted and can't move around the kitchen.
luckily our kitchen is itty bitty and i can reach most everything if i try hard enough.
as frustrating as it can be while having a little baby crawling up your leg moaning,
i'm so glad that little baby picked me to want for his attention.

the picture on the left is his new favorite activity.
when the dishwasher is open he is all over it like milk on cookies.
taking everything out while i'm trying to put everything in.
he first discovered it this last week after a rough night at the dinner table.
i was 100% glad to let him get into the dishwasher if that meant a little more peace and quiet for 15 minutes.
that dishwasher made all 3 of us very happy that evening.

casey finished his first week back at dental school!
we've joked with a friend how the first week of going back to school it's like you have to get back in shape to be in school, sitting, thinking, learning, and doing again.
that first week is so tiring.
but already this 2nd year is so much more actual dental related which casey enjoys greatly, woohoo!

the past week and a half maxson has been bouncing all over the map of wake up times ranging form 5:30-6:30.
it's MUCH too early (and exhaustingly early) to say the least and we need to do something about it.
any tips/tricks out there on helping babies sleep in longer?

this weekend we have plans to watch football!
i'm excited for about the first 5 BYU football games and then after that i lose my energy.
so here's to making the first one of the season memorable!

Black out shades? I bought the liner at Joanns. It seems to help. There have been a few times Ellies wakes up in the middle of the night and is up a few hours, usually a belly ache I'm sure. But when she doesn't sleep 12 hours or so I think it's because of the shades. I feel like their sleeping habits are constantly changing, so hopefully it switches soon for you.
