About me: I'm really nothing like I let on to be. I tend to keep everything to myself, and I like it that way. I don't like how people flaunt themselves... it leaves nothing to be discovered or explored. I wish the world were a bit quieter. Maybe then I could get some sleep... if my mind ever stopped wandering.
I don't have all the answers. In fact, most times I don't know where to begin.
I have a lot of things to say, but no thought of time in which to put them. I procrastinate as if tomorrow is always guaranteed, I live like the hours will never get the best of me. But they do. I wish things would simply stop when I wanted them to, for my life is beautiful when things are good and completely horrible when things are bad. I am full of highs and lows, with no one to fix that, nor to whisper, "It's okay for change." And even if the winds shook the trees of their leaves and the branches reminded me of how stark and lonely things can be, I would find solace, and not the advice I want to be given. I tend to feed into too many details and lose what it so obvious, and most days I don't regret this. I find messages in coffee grinds and through layers of dust on furniture. So many things are left uncherished. Everything means something, and I can't help but to analyze and hold these things to heart. Sometimes it feels like that's all I really have.
Who I'd like to meet: I look forward to getting to know my son more and more every day. He's so small and already has so much personality and I know he's going to just bloom into someone so caring and intelligent. He's the best thing in the world.
And other moms, other babies, pretty much anyone, really. :]
I've already met the person I want to be withwill be with the rest of my life.
Soon I will be Mrs. Christian Daniel Kauffman, and I wouldn't want to be anyone else. :]
Oh wow! I will check out the website on that necklace! Gav is still BFeeding! We have added some formula and also the same foods that you have. Gav can roll over on his tummy but cant get back on his back lol so i guess hes opposite of Em lol Thats awesome that Em is sitting up! I think Gav has a little ways to go on that one... he just face plants every time lol
oh wow!! NEATO! So he just chews on it to teethe?? yea, gavin had a rough few weeks about a month ago, he already has his bottom teeth now.. (It seemed like he got them early, not sure) but he did have a rough time, poor guy was miserable. HE also got the teething rash on his face and neck from all of the drool. Em is so cute, I cant believe how fast they grow. Does he have his bottom teeth? top? whats new with him? is he getting ready to crawl? Gav just rolls over and hes kinda got the army scoot thing down, but he gets so pissed and frustrated b/c he just wants to get up and go..lol
So far, having two kids has been really easy. Wonderful, actually. Alice is exactly 2 years older than Julius and I think that's perfect. She's too young to be jealous, won't even remember being an only child, she adores him, and she's old enough to entertain herself for long periods of time. I think I just knew I was ready for #2 and it's great, because I have the fun active toddler to play and explore with and the cuddly little baby that's too little to get away from me! I wish they could just stay the ages they are now. We're mainly prefolds here, too. With Julius. Alice only uses fuzzi bunz and bum genius. But she's at the age where she doesn't wet so often and she can go 24 hours on 3-4 bG's. Hopefully she'll PT next summer. I don't mind diapers, but toddler poo smells like death! I love the themed photos of Emerson with the octopus and the pumpkin and the tool box. You should send the pictures to that diaper company. They are too cute.
i just used my septum ring. i got a smaller one! :}] im hoping to get my lip pierced sometime in the winter, but im getting my eyebrow done even sooner :]

I used to be VERY into photography in high school and was in an art program and everything (I did a little of everything - drawing, sculpting, photo, etc). I haven't really done much since then, but it's so weird cause you are a lot like me, lol...k talk to you soon!
