Too long...since I've blogged

OH my.. it has been way too long since I have posted!

Everytime I turn the computer on to blog... by the time I get to it.. the computer has shut itself off, and then I get sidetracked... the story of my life right now.. always side tracked... don't seem to get anything done...

but the one thing I am getting done I suppose is baby is always fed,clean,and entertained :) so that in itself I suppose is an accomplishment :)

time has flown by....... Audrey is 4 months old now and changing every day. Everyone told me time would fly and boy were they right! Every day it seems she is doing something new,,, and her looks seem to change by the minute!

I have less than 2 weeks before I have to go back to work and I am nervous about that.. but luckily DH is off the first 2 weeks so she'll be well taken care of.

We had our first professional photo sitting.. well.. a while ago.. she was 2 1/2 months when we took them and looks completely different now but since it's been so long since I have posted I will post them now.. or a few of them. I can't wait to get ones taken of her now!

These pictures definitely tell her story.. she's always got something in her mouth. Usually her dress like the second one.

I did get some impromptu pictures with me in them... . Wasn't to fond of the idea at first.. but now I am glad I did.. as you can't get the time back!

Kind of cool though.. the dress she is wearing in these photos is an antique.. from the late 1800's. It wasn't the best choice in colors.. but it is kind of sweet.

Well.. this is all I have time for right now.. Little one is sleeping and I best be getting my rest as tomorrow will be a full day! :)

I need to get better about posting.... and even better... I need to get back to some ART! I am starving for some art time..... Does anyone know how other mothers manage to get art time in????? PLEASE????? ESPECIALLY when their babies don't nap???????????? Any tips on how to get a baby to nap would be good too!

Lisa---- (my cousin).... if you're reading this... the EASY isn't working... HELP! (Eat,Activity,Sleep, You time)

hi staci, thanks for stopping by my blog. Too bad we didn't meet. I had my one year old with me who seemed to be having a good time at an art opening. :) Starting the art appreciation early!

I have so much I could say about doing art and being mama....but then this comment would be waaaay too long. :) What everyone else says is true~ time really does fly. I started painting again after Noah turned 3 months. And I would do it during naps and after he went to bed. It was like my night shift! I'm still recovering. :) But I've learned to do my best to balance it all. To be fully present for my little one is the most important task for me. It is hard to find the balance at times, but it is possible!

Your little one is darling.

Hi Stacie-
You will find the balance, right now you are doing what is important....taking care of that precious little baby. I can imagine though, that you are dying to get back to creating. Thanks for sharing your pictures, she is a doll!

Hey Stacie, glad to see a new post from you. Love the photos! Aren't little ones the most amazing JOY?!?!? And of course all Moms wonder where the time goes...especially since babies just sleep all the time, right? Anxious to see you again at the office. Love ya!

These are absoutely gorgeous pics of you & Audrey. You both are So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. Have you tried putting her into a rectangular laundry basket to sleep or watch you in the studio? She can snuggle into the blankets and you can talk to her while you work. Later on, she can sit and play and talk back to you while you work, but she can't escape until she learns to crawl or walk. Lucy can also help keep her entertained. ;-D
Love you! Take care. And please pass my congrats on to Jeff for passing the big test! Terrific!
love, JOS
