I must be crazy

This will be one short update. But officially Teddy is a big boy! At least, that's what Coleman and I tell him. He's now 5 months old. Here is his official picture:

He and I had quite a bit of fun at doing the "photo shoot." He would not stop talking, laughing, moving around. He is sitting up, and he's getting better and better at it. He also grows more curious about the world all the time. He is so smart already! 

Here he is being very uncooperative and more interested in Mommy's phone. 

This video cracks me up.

He also talks a whole lot still. He gets more and more vocal every day. We still struggle with him waking up around 6 some mornings. We just have to let him cry until he falls back asleep and let him wake back up around 7:15/7:30. There's no way we'd be able to do everything! I'd have to wake up at 5!!! And let's be honest, I love my sleep too! Something that I personally have been struggling with, and I kind of thought it would be the opposite is the Mommy-Theodore relationship and Daddy-Theodore relationship. I told my mom I feel like he loves Coleman more than me. When I come home he always smiles and is happy. When I leave for work, he's like ok, bye mom. But whenever Coleman comes home he screams and is absolutely delighted. When Coleman leaves he always bursts into tears and you have to distract him to make him stop crying! I don't know what it is! It makes me feel bad though sometimes. I know he loves me and I'm being silly but still!

So the title of this post, and the reason why I'm going crazy is because Coleman and I have been discussing it a bunch, and I have officially decided I'm going back to school! I have enrolled in the University of Cumberlands School Counseling Program. It'll be my second masters and eventually my EdS degree. It'll take about a year - year and a half to complete. It's all online, which is how I did my first masters, for a grad program, it's fairly inexpensive. But I'll have my Rank 1, and will be able to get out of the classroom if I want to. I'll also be certified K-12 so I could be at Teddy's school if there was a job! So please pray for me. I start classes March 4th. It'll be a definite struggle balancing a full-time job, being a wife, mother, managing a household, and going back to school all at the same time. But I think I can do it! This little precious face is all the encouragement I need:

He cracks me up I swear. Nothing gets by him!

P.S. I added a new blog over to the right side. My friend Erin created a blog about all the things her crazy elementary students say. She is hilarious!
