Screaming and a Lovey

I debated even posting this, but if I only posted the good things, I wouldn't be posting about our real life, ha!

Screaming can be heard frequently at our house these days. Lawson is still happy as ever and plays so well, but instead of just being fussy when he gets tired, he has learned that he can scream when he doesn't get his way. Uh-oh! Here are a few faces that can be found at our home...


I know, I know...bad mommy for taking pictures of this. But he really is such a happy baby that I wanted proof that he does cry too! :) He really HATES to be burped now and when he is tired instead of his usual fussing, he screams. Those are pretty much the only two times he screams, but I have to admit that I am NOT loving his new found screaming freedom. Hopefully it passes quickly. Then of course we'll be on to teething and he will scream because of that. Always something, huh? :) Good thing he's cute!

Lawson's Honey (day care provider) got him a Lovey for Christmas. He LOVES it!! He likes to hold it and really loves having it for nap time. Here are some pictures of Lawson and his Lovey.


He just LOVES his Honey and Chris and I are so grateful that he spends each day with someone who truly loves on him like we would if we could be home with him. She is a Godsend and we are thankful she is in Lawson's life.


I think Lawson may be getting this for a last minute Christmas gift. Some friends were discussing this today, and I really like the idea of it. I have a few of the Fisher Price apps on my phone and Lawson seems mesmerized by them, so I think being able to just hand him the phone instead of holding it for him (eventually) will be great!


Here are some photos of Lawson that just make me laugh. It's bittersweet to see him learning new things. I love that he is growing and developing, but I wish time wasn't flying so fast. We try to soak up every minute with him so that we don't miss anything!

He was supposed to be sleeping here...obviously he was not, ha! He is so funny and usually at night when Chris and I are exhausted and ready to go to bed is when Lawson brings out his cheesiness. He just smiles and laughs and we crack up. He must know that momma and daddy can't get mad at him when he's hamming it up, ha!

A little glimpse of my boy's sweet smile.

"The flash is way too bright, Mom!"

We can't wait to spend the first Christmas with our sweet boy! It will definitely be one to remember. :)
