Has it already been a week since my last DFW baby photographer Project 365 installment? I guess it has been. This past week I feel like it rained..or looked gloomy and rainy almost every day. I am completely certain I could never live in the Pacific Northwest…or anyplace regularly rainy..because it puts me a major funk. I am so lethargic when it is like this outside. I think it’s because of the lack of variety, every day looks and seems the same. I generally thrive on routine, so my life is as structured as possible. But something about the rainy days and being FORCED to choose boring, quiet, indoor activities gives me a case of the grumps.
Let’s see what Week 36 was all about.
DFW BABY PHOTOGRAPHER | WEEK 36

Received some flowers from my mom and her husband for my birthday. They kept going strong for a few days after my birthday, and they added a nice touch of cheer to the otherwise gloomy atmosphere.

Baby J watching jealously as Rufus got to go outside. Ignore the disgusting finger prints all over the glass. I live with animals aka children, soI pretty much give up on that door being sparkling unless I know we are having people over. #reallife

Our monthly Kiwi Crate couldn’t have come at a better time. A perfect rainy Friday night activity for Daddy and the boy.

Is it just a second born thing that they want to grow up so fast? Baby J tries to reject the traditional baby straw sippy cup in favor of stealing his big brother’s school water bottles. I think I’m going to give up and just toss all the sippy cups and transition to the big kid bottles, but it breaks my heart. I know it’s just that Baby J wants to be exactly like his brother, but his brother is 6 years older so I wish he would just stay babyish a little longer.

H’s soccer game was rained out. I already had a sitter lined up for Baby J, so I figured that instead of canceling on childcare I’d go ahead and have a Mommy/Boy date with the big kid. We went bowling. It was so fun spending solo time with him, but OMG I did not realize bowling was $45/hr. Holy cow y’all. I swear back in my day it was like $15 to go bowling. Maybe I’m just glorifying the good ol’ days, but why in the world is bowling so expensive!? It wasn’t even peak time–there was hardly anyone in the joint.
