The pic-of-the-day is a rare glimpse of The Little Price asleep this afternoon. He usually has a bottle around noon and plays for 30 minutes to an hour before falling asleep and staying asleep until 4-4:30 p.m. Today he has only slept for about 10 minutes and the rest of the time he has been awake and crying.
I've tried feeding him again, changing his diaper, rocking him, and walking around with him. Absolutely nothing has worked to quiet him. When he was at the doctor's office on Monday, she told Dr. Mc that she could see his teeth just below his gum line. Maybe he is in such a foul mood because he is teething?

Today I'm creating appointments for Sweetness and me to visit more wedding venues on Saturday. Hopefully one of the two we visit this weekend will suit her fancy.

The Internet was down at my client's office this afternoon so I brought The Little Prince home with me to work here. I'm sitting on the couch working and he is laying in his playard (previously known as a play pen to many of us). I can see him kicking his feet. I hear him making sweet little noises. And I see the hanging toys above him moving as he hits them with his hand. He is a happy camper!

It's supposed to rain in Houston tonight, followed by a cold front. I'm so excited for more cold weather. While many friends say they are ready for warmer weather, I'm still wanting to wear sweaters and boots.

Today I'm creating an Internet article. Reference materials are all around me so I'm glad The Little Prince is happy in his playard with his toys.

Babies come with so much gear. For our house I found an organizer that I attached to the side of his bed. I love how everything fits into little compartments. If only the rooms in my house were as organized as Aulay's gear!

I'm still in the de-cluttering mood, especially after watching several episodes of Tiny House Hunters last night. People live in spaces as small as 250 square feet. How can that be? One couple, I forget where they live, have a tiny house that they have lived in for 20 years. Amazing! I don't think I could do it because I need stuff around me, such as family photos and tons of shoes. Now you know my priorities!

Today I'm creating rewrites of a letter written by someone else. I wish the man had just given me the information and asked me to write the letter. Writing the letter from scratch would have been easier than trying to make sense of what he wrote. Jeez.

Another fun day. How am I so lucky? I must be living right!

Today was the annual get together with woman from my high school graduating class. I wasn't close friends with any of them when I was in high school, but really enjoy being with them now and look forward to seeing them once a year. They were all so supportive last summer when Aulay was born. Today everyone was asking about The Little Prince and saying how they felt they knew him because I wrote on my blog about him. I hated to leave them all, but duty called.

Today I'm creating two magazine articles. When I'm writing, sometimes my thoughts come easier than other days. Today the words weren't free flowing, but tomorrow is another day.

Yesterday was such a fun family day! I took Sweetness to look at a wedding venue. It wasn't the place, but we got to spend time together and talk about her visions for her wedding. Next Mr. B and I had lunch with Dr. Mc, Big Daddy and The Little Prince. It was the perfect day for al fresco dining in Houston.

Last night the grill master worked his magic on a pork tenderloin. We had the pleasure of the company of The Little Prince who has started smiling when he sees people that he knows. What a great feeling to see the smile on his little face!

Today I'm creating a clean house. Not surprisingly today isn't nearly as fun as yesterday!

It has been a long and busy week, and I'm exhausted. I'm looking forward to a quiet evening at home with my guys: Mr. B and Mr. Baby. The Little Prince's parents will be packing at their old house. I can't wait to hold and rock Mr. Baby.

Tomorrow I'm going with Sweetness and Girafferty to look at a venue. It's amazing to me that in a city the size of Houston it is so difficult to find an affordable venue for a wedding that is 10 months away.

Today I'm creating a newsletter, an ad and working on two editorials. Mr. B made reservations for us to travel to the casita in a week. Since we haven't been there since Thanksgiving I'm excited to spend some time in the high desert.

I don't think The Little Prince feels well today. He is usually happy to lay beside me when I work. I'll lay him next to me and he will kick his feet and look around, but not this afternoon.

This morning he slept, but this afternoon I can hear that he is congested plus he wants to be held. Even now I'm holding him as he sleeps on my shoulder. Typing with only one hand is hard!

Today I'm creating everything for a client event tonight. While the baby slept this morning I made 10 floral arrangements. Next I have to make a trip to the grocery store for some last minute items. I haven't been to the grocery store with my little buddy, so this will be a new adventure.
