Smile
I saw this on a friend’s livejournal and loved it so much I nabbed it (!) to post here:
A nice reminder, especially on a quiet, snowy day like today.
But today isn’t just any normal day; today marks the first time that Henry has ever smiled! I’ve seen him smile in his sleep, but this was the first time I was trying to make him smile and he did! Twice! I was so happy I started to cry. I didn’t even cry when he was born. Obviously I have my priorities in order.

He is now happily asleep in his swing and I am drinking some green tea. I wonder what to make for dinner? Husband is at work. I’d like something really healthy, like a giant salad, but we haven’t gone grocery shopping in a week and a half. What is your go-to meal when you are on your own and are on low on groceries? I’ll often have a can of (bacon-free!) soup or scramble some eggs with vegetables and have that with toast. I like quick and easy that ends with a minimal amount of dirty dishes. I really just want to eat something GREEN though (Green tea doesn’t count, unfortunately.)

20 days until Christmas! So far, I have listened endlessly to Christmas music, wrapped some Christmas gifts, put up a few decorations (no tree though!), and baked sugar cookies. Not bad! I still have a bit of Christmas shopping/wrapping left to do and there are always more sugar cookies to bake. Last night, I half-watched a couple of the classics: A Christmas Story and Elf. I have a craving to watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Love Actually. Luckily I own Love Actually so this shouldn’t be difficult to appease. Why are Christmas movies so re-watchable??!! <– new word!

While Henry sleeps I should probably prep dinner, whatever it may be, as well as experiment with his stroller. We’d like to go to this sometime this week and I think a stroller would be advantageous. There is always some new contraption to learn when you have a baby. This is the truth!
