Merry Christmas "Deep thoughs from Tracy" right

Baby's first Christmas! What a wonderful time in our house. For the first time in a long time Christmas has had a new meaning. We don't care about what we get or how much one person spent on the other person. It was all about baby Madison! Plus, we wanted to do all the cheesy Christmas stuff like Zoo Lights and going to look at Christmas lights. Because it was watching them like they were all new though the eyes of your little one. This made it so much more special. I still love watching her play with all her new toys.
Last year when I was pregnant at Christmas I had a new perspective on Mary. How could she travel and to a town she never been too to have a baby. Then have a baby in a barn. She was so brave and strong! But, now having a new baby I find myself thinking over other things. Jesus was prefect. Did he sleep through the night the first night? Did he only cry when he was hungry... ? Was there anytime Mary and Joesph ever want to pull their hair out (us at 2:30am when Madison was crying for hours, eaten, dry, and can't find anything wrong) I know it doesn't change anything when it comes down to it. A baby crying isn't a sin. But I can't help wondering... How does a newborn Jesus act...
The stupid things I think of...

Filling the time

I have started watching Cupcake Wars. What a wonderful show, but I watch these shows and think I can do that... The worst is watching the Olympics and think the samething when it comes to the divers... Hmmm Hello, you haven't been on a diving board in over 15 years! But anyways, I did I made some cupcakes and had so much fun doing it.

We have from the top... Chocolate chip Chocolate cupcake,  Chocolate cupcake with cream filling with a chocolate glaze,  And Chocolate cupcake with a caramel filling and caramel frosting

They came out not too bad...
Next I will try crafts... better on my waistband!

Feeding a five month old

We have started her on baby food....
BOY is it not as fun as you think!!! Oh how fun or OH how cute it will be feeding the baby with baby food.... Think again my friend! She spits food at me. And she doesn't fully open her month so it's stuff what you can! I am just hoping that some of it gets into that hole because somedays I am just not sure... Tips? Help? Thoughts?

Loving Father...

Having my husband working from home is wonderful. However, if he doesn't want to work he comes out of the office and wants to play and hang out with us. I love that he is a hands on dad but when I am trying to do a planned out the day it can be hard. I put her down...he picks her up... I want her to work on playing by herself,... he picks her up. And you can't get mad at him, he is a loving father what more could you ask for and how would he know what you are trying to do.... Right!? Thoughts... ? The worst is the changing table. She crys and is fussy at the changing table. He always comes in and wants to help claim her... But I hate that I want to get in there and get out and if she is fussy so what... But again he is trying to help... How can I get mad...

Stay @ Home Mom with Work From Home Dad

I am writing this Blog because I thought I couldn't be the only one that was a stay at home mom with a work from home husband. I am hoping to touch out to my fellow moms and talk about problems and positives with having this unique situation.
