It's Amazin', So Amazin'!

1. It is amazing that I made chocolate chip cookies that taste decent! I almost messed the recipe up but I caught my mistake and did not mess it up. Seriously, I have messed up plenty recipes because I have forgotten to add this or that but I took a bite and was pleasantly surprised. I have made cookies that are flat like pancakes because I didn't add enough flour. I have made cookies that taste completely like flour because I tried to add more flour after it was too late. I would love to bake more often and this gives me hope!

2. Andrew has been taking great naps the last three days, it is amazing! Three days ago he took a 2 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon, yesterday was 1 1/2 hours and today, so far, he has taken two 1 1/2 hour naps. This also gives me hope! He usually takes 3 half hour naps a day so it really is amazing to me. I am not sure what is going on but I am hoping that he is finally catching on to the whole sleeping thing. And if not, I will try and be grateful for these three days that I have had that all needed precious me time.


3. It would be amazing if I wrote a post that didn't include my kids. I needed to vacuum today but I was a little hesitant because it scares Andrew. So I was telling Kinnie that I would probably just hold him while I vacuumed because I didn't want him to be sad. Kinnie was sitting on the couch and said "mice hode Anjoo" meaning "I'll hold Andrew." I put him in her lap and warned he that he might cry and if he does I will get him. It had been awhile since I had taken a picture of Kinnie holding Andrew. I was amazed at how big he looked sitting in her lap. They are both growing up so so so so fast, and it amazes me so so so so much!


This picture is a little more proportioned and doesn't make Andrew look quite as big...



4. If you don't have the "Amazing" song by Kanye West stuck in your head, it's amazing! I can't get the chorus out of my head!

Cute post Nicole! I bet all your cookies are good, and I'm so happy for you guys that Andrew is taking good naps. All of my posts include Tucker, my parents only care about him and since they're the only ones that really look at my blog that's all I post about too.
I love the picture of Kinnie holding Andrew. She is such a cute big sister.

HA! HA! I can hear her cute little voice right now!!!"mice hode Anjoo" Those pictures are beyond cute, as usual...and it's been way too long since I've kissed both of their cheeks.
Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow!
