It's May 9th, 2011! What does this mean?

It means that this balloon is one year old!

Oh, and this child, too.

Why do I make light of this? Because I'm still in denial... There's NO way my baby is one year old. Impossible.


Yet all these people gathered around to watch him smash his face into a cake...

And open a giant heap of presents...

And watch me cry, of course...

Yeah, I cried... I've been a wuss for exactly one year now.


I love you, son. More than you can possibly imagine.Happy first birthday!!

Nap Time

My son, Montag, sleeps really well at night. But for his nap-times during the day, he requires being held. If I even THINK about setting him down, he will wake up.

Today, after a late night and early morning, he slept long and hard AND let me set him down by himself for each nap! I was quite proud of him!

Lil' Sicko

That is, until I noticed he had a tiny cough and decided to take his temperature this evening. Alas, he has gotten his first (slight) fever...

Let's hope this passes by quickly!

P.S. I don't really have a P.S., but I never feel right ending a message with just my name...

First Post!

How do you start a blog? What do you make the first post about? Do you introduce yourself and explain what the blog will be about, or do you just start posting and act like you've always been doing it?

 I think I'll go with the latter, mostly because I have NO idea what this blog is going to actually be about. So, internets, welcome to Ruthless Mother Blogger!

Yours Truly!

P.S. If you DO want to know about me or this blog, I'm sure I'll post an "About The Author" type section soon (after I find my niche in the online world.).

P.P.S. You may notice that there are posts pre-dating this one. I wrote a few posts about past events and dated them to match. Let's all just pretend that I started blogging back then, okay? =)
