Glass half empty or half full?

Some of the guys I work with are really weirded out when they know I'm pumping at work.  They hate it when they have to knock on the door and ask me a question about what to do with one of my patients, or to tell me when they are ready for me.  They especially hate it when they see me come out of the room with my attachments in hand as I head to the break room to clean them. I'm not shy about it so it doesn't bother me at all. 

Others choose to make the best of it and tease me about it. I came to work one day to find that someone had made me a sign to put on the door when I go pump--complete with biohazard symbol and picture of cookies and milk.

I thought it was hysterical anyway.

When Daddy Dresses Me

This was back when Hadley was 5 weeks old and not yet going to daycare.  I came home from work to find her hanging out with daddy like this...

Let's be honest... I'm actually surprised he even decided to take her our of her pajamas and get her dressed.  When I was home with her I didn't even always bother to do that for her or myself.

"Momma! SISSY!"

My sweet Caden!  He loves Hadley and wants to help take care of her.  I realize that will probably stop once she starts playing with his toys. 

It can get pretty chaotic around the house sometimes with two kids under the age of two but I'm so glad they are only 19 months apart.  I think it will be fun to watch them play together, learn together and challenge each other!  Caden so badly wants Hadley to play with him already.  He likes to go lie next to her when she is on this mat.  Can you say adorable?

He also gets very concerned when she cries.  He usually runs to me, taps my arm and says, "momma! SISSY!".  He then runs back to her to comfort her with a pacifier if there is one nearby or he just rubs her leg.  He's also done this with the ladies at daycare. 

One day, when I was dropping them off at daycare I left Hadley in her carseat just around the corner in the hallway while I tried to get Caden situated in his room.  He refused to go until I brought Hadley in to her room (the baby and 1 year old rooms are connected so he sometimes goes back and forth to visit.)

Anyone need a babysitter?

Fort Worth Zoo



Recently we took the kids to the zoo for the first time.  We loaded up with my parents and met up with Dusty, Melanie, Troy and Dylan. 

My mom's carseat doesn't have much head support for a sleeping kiddo--but I got him fixed right up!

It was Mel's birthday so she picked where we were eating lunch.  We tried out this neat little place...

The restaurant is in the back of this little gas station.  The food was really good and the bread pudding was even better (not quite as good as mimi's though).

 Caden's interest at the zoo was limited. Mostly because he missed his nap.









Dylan

It was pretty hot and humid this day--Hadley wasn't handling it too well so we had to strip her down.

It was after I took this picture of my family that I noticed the animal was pooping.  Here's to awkward family photos!
