Good Morning!

A snapshot of most mornings:

I know you are absolutely shocked to see Chloe taking over the entire bed, just laying there, contributing nothing to the day. It is so out of character. If you look closely, her eye is about to give the death look since I am interrupting her sleep with the camera. It's either that, or she is looking for her breakfast in bed to arrive. You never can be sure.

He looks so bedhead/confused in this pic. I love it. Usually the morning is spent with constant attempts at entertaining Anderson so we can get ready. I keep toys in the bedroom that he doesn't see the rest of the day with the intention that they will keep his attention longer and he won't get into everything.

Too bad that is a terrible strategy. I have learned to never underestimate the value of a random object to keep a baby entertained.

Gabbi, similar to Chloe, spends the entire morning with obscene amounts of energy. She literally sits by the bed & stares at me from about 4:30 on. Never Brandon, just me. I think she really loved the days when Anderson was still eating in the night because it gave her something to look forward to. The second I breathe loudly or, God forbid, roll over she is pumped! It is like she almost starts giggling with anticipation. The rest of the morning is spent with her jumping around our feet & literally spazzing out if we even walk past the back door. She is OBSESSED with playing catch every second of the day.

Then, it is 6:55 & we are off to NoniBop's where coffee & a waffle await me & a day of fun is in store for Anderson!

  1. Thank you for my morning laugh... You know Chloe is really very smart, relaxing and enjoying her life. If you make her mad, we even worry if she is upset and try to soothe it over...

  2. I love the one of Anderson's sleepy pose :) Gives you a glimpse at what mornings will look like when you try to pull him out of bed as a teenager - except instead of 5:30 am it'll be 10:30 am! :) Bean says to tell Chloe hi and don't give up her spot in the bed!

  3. Isn't it nice that so many people (well, dogs) are happy to see you each morning? It's like a cuddly hug in the form of pet hair and slobber. Sounds gross, but I bet you wouldn't have it any other way!
    I'm jealous of the Noni and Bop waffles.
