Frustration!

Ok, I am a complete loser when it comes to this blogging bit. I haven't blogged in forever because every time that I do get on here, all of my focus goes to changing the dang background. I can't seem to figure it out. I have done everything that it has asked me to do. Surely, it's not me, it must be this crazy computer. We'll see. I will keep trying. Thank you all for your attempt to help me. I might be helpless.

On to more important topics. I will soon have updated pics of Jarrett from the holidays. There are some really cute ones in his new boots, which I bought a little too big and they make him walk pigeon toed, so I'm not letting him wear them until he's bigger. I would hate to ruin his gait for life just because he loves his boots and they are too cute. Anyway, I will have pics soon.

Last night, when I was holding Jarrett, I had a revelation. Why has no one invented some way of recording smells? We can record everything else. I love the way he smells and I don't want to forget it. The best is after bath and he's all lotioned up, but last night, he hadn't had a bath. He just smelled like Jarrett. I can't explain it. I actually got teary eyed worrying about forgetting his smell. Or, it changing to a different smell. Am I weird or do others worry about these things.

Jarrett is doing so many fun things these days. It's amazing to me how much he actually comprehends what we're saying. This morning, he was going through the drawer in my bathroom while I was getting ready. (If he stands on the scale, he can actually see in it. This is sad because he's growing way too fast.) Anyway, he got one of my rings out of the drawer. He put it on top of his head. I said, "No silly, it goes on your finger." So, he gets it and puts his finger through it. It's little things like that that just make me smile. He's growing and learning right before my eyes. I love watching him discover and figure things out too. We got a Wii for Christmas. After taking it out of the box, Jarrett used the box to climb into the recliner or on the couch. He will push it all over the living room to whichever object he would like to crawl on. It's so much fun. I can't wait for those of you with smaller babies to get to experience all of this. It's great!

Ok, Monica, I've now blogged. I promise pics will follow, but this will have to do for now.

Yea! A new post! I'm impressed that you can change your background (you are so ready for Valentine's Day)...I had to hire someone to do it for me!

I can see your fancy new background too! It looks great. You just thought that you were a blogtard.
