Maternity Leave

My "summer vacation" is rapidly approaching the end, and it's hard to believe that 10 weeks have already gone by. I have really enjoyed being a stay at home mom and really tuning in to my maternal instincts. I wanted to do a blog and dedicate it to all the things I did.

I finally finished my summer blocks! Just in time for fall, but I always love a craft project and can't wait to start on the next one. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of them so I don't have the wrong seasons up all year!

I made some oreos!

My first, and successful, attempt at making strawberry jam.


The ever famous Bagley Family Banana Slush!

Lots of growing! And possibly getting cuter if even possible.


Many fashion shows and pictures, much to Henry's chagrin.


And most importantly, many lazy mornings snuggling with my son. I did not put his arm around me, he did it all on his own. He loves to snuggle really close to me and it melts my heart every time. I always said my baby better be a snuggly one, and it's exactly what I got!

I also wanted to thank Alan for working all the extra hours making it possible for me to take such a long maternity leave. Also for being such a devoted father and husband. I really don't know how anyone can be a single parent, and it just so happens that I have the best partner ever. He takes a shift in the night feedings, changes just as many diapers, and takes his role as father seriously. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. I am also greatful for what a great example he will be to Henry. I love you Alan.
