Must Write

I am in bed and enjoying a few minutes of silence. I should be enjoying the silent activity of sleeping but thoughts won't slow themselves in my mind just yet. I must write an actual post soon--I'm so anxious to write but I can't get to the computer to do it. Wishing I had a laptop to write in bed and problem solved... But such is not the case. My iPhone insists on auto"correcting" my words and changing them to something else without my permission:) you all know the beauty of autocorrect, it comes up with the
oddest things. So with that I'll save the rest for a real computer. Just wanted to check in and reconnect with all you friends out there. I hope your weeks are off to a sweet start.
My last few days have had rocky patches and today I was gifted with moments where Henry, sitting on my lap, gazed at me with the most special, wide eyed, loving and beautiful expression. I would have spent the rest of my week in those very moments if it were up to me.

Just a minute to say hello

Itching to write for a bit but ever so frustrated that I can't share photos on this computer currently.  It is my goal this week to get to another computer so I can do so. And when I do, I will write. About the little things, the simple things in the weeks past that may not be much but I don't want to forget because I still hold them close...about how the moments fly by me so quickly I can barely hang on, and about how completely wrapped up in love I am with this little boy.
Hope your weeks are off to a lovely start!

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has been voting! I went from number 717 when I joined the other day to number 78 today... so thank you! Whenever you think of it, keep the love coming.
Spending the weekend with Eric and Henry, who are sitting next to me giggling at each other over sneezes. Hope you're all having equally fun weekends. What are you/have you been doing?

I am sorry to beg,

But I have to ask anyway. I have recently joined Top Baby Blogs, a network of mama blogs. If any of you enjoy reading this blog, please click here http://www.topbabyblogs.com/cgi-bin/topblogs/in.cgi?id=grown and click on the owl on the left.  This will give my blog a vote on "Top Baby Blogs" where mamas can come find other mamas' blogs!  You can also vote by hitting the button on the right side of the blog. You can vote one time per 24 hours. This is how I find a lot of my favorites, and I would so love to be ranked so more people can find me and we can all share things together here in blog land.   I'm on there now and feel goofy asking but I would very much appreciate your votes! If you don't enjoy reading this, then by all means don't feel pressured to vote. I'm just throwing it out there. :) I'd sure be honored if you clicked it. Thank you friends!

And so it begins

A few weeks ago, I could stomp around the house if I wanted to and carry on conversations using something much louder than my "inside" voice without waking H up. I could set him down while sleeping with ease (while he sleeps, I don't carry him while I sleep) and the little guy would just stay asleep. Being a newborn is exhausting clearly.  Apparently being an almost- not- a- newborn- anymore at a whopping 10 weeks changes things,

I love that sometimes when he sleeps he still makes the same smooshy face he did when he was first born

Did I say Goodbye?

I was just kidding. I thought I wanted to leave this blog, or rather just move it elsewhere, but who knows what I want.  Two days was plenty, and now I've had a change of heart. I blame postpartum hormones for my indecisiveness. Turns out, blogger does hold the tricks I want to add to this blog... and while I liked some of the tumblr aspects for the whole 3 seconds I was part of it, I can't work it so we're back here... just new and improved.  Well hopefully improved, I'm happier with it at least! So take note that the url has changed now to grownorthblog.blogspot.com.  Other changes,

Goodbye to La Fame...

Hello Friends!

I have decided to try a new place for my blog... So this is the end (for now) of La Fame. I'm just ready for something new, but really it's just a new place for the same thing, hopefully I'll be able to add even more when I figure out how on earth tumblr works. I'm not good with web design or really anything computer related. So please, no judging on the slow growth of this new site. I have like .3 seconds to work on it between spit up sessions, feeding babe, diapers blowing out etc. You know how it goes. Tonight H is on Daddy's lap so I have a bit of time to work on the new site, but I have no clue what I'm doing. Anyway, follow me at http://grownorth.tumblr.com/

and please explore this new blog with me, leave comments and feedback, let me know that you're there if you feel like it.

Goodbye for now!
