FYI

I have been out of commission lately as I have been outrageously busy! Doing what you might ask....cooking, visiting with friends, having play dates, going to weddings, attending bridal showers, celebrating birthdays, playing with chunky babies, spending a precious few hours with the hubby and running around like a headless chicken! I feel like I've been going non stop for weeks! Every weekend for the past two months seems it have been consumed by something!

I have a love/hate relationship with peanut-butter pie...I love the way it tastes however I hate what it does to my thighs!

My sweet sweet child is able to sit up and is rolling and is already six months old!!! How time does fly!

I am a cloth diaper-aholic and you might think that's really weird but I love me some cloth diapers! They are just awesome! If you ever decide you'd like to discuss cloth diapers with me please let me know!!! I could talk about them all day!

I didn't get a garden this year so I've taken over one of my flower beds and gone crazy with fruits/veggies! I've got tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, zucchini, strawberries, green beans, beets, corn, blueberries and possibly a watermelon plant! I'm
So excited and cannot wait to see these plants grow and flourish!

I've been meaning to post on this blog for weeks but keep forgetting so I apologize!!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

Oatmeal

So I know it's been way too long since I posted here! It's been a very busy couple of weeks and the next few weeks are just as busy! We've got lots of weddings to go to and wedding showers and birthdays and all sorts of things! I feel like I've been going non stop for weeks! AND my house is suffering because of it! It's not nearly as tidy as I'd like it to be!!! But that's completely off topic...oatmeal....so the little one had some baby eczema going on so I thought I nice oatmeal bath would be very calming and nice for him to sit in....NOT it turns out the little one is probably allergic to oatmeal as he was covered in hives after his bath! I felt so bad that I was trying to correct something minor and then he gets this major flare up! Thankfully he was quite the trooper throughout the whole ordeal and was very happy and not a bit fussy despite the huge hives all over his back! I posted a picture of how bad they were below so please don't mind the baby butt crack that you see! I also called his pediatricians office and they said I could give him benedryl so out to the store I went at 9:30 to get benedryl! Thankfully he didn't need it and by the time I fed him at 11 the hives were greatly reduced and just bumps!!! I'm so thankful it wasn't any worse and that he is okay! Not fun!!!

Yes

Why yes, yes I am the cutest baby ever!!! Thanks for asking!!!

Smiles

I love this little guys smile!!! This picture was taken today at church when I took him to the nursery! He didn't stay in the nursery long and got quite fretted while in there but they did get a few big smiles from him! One of which we caught on camera!

We also went to the hubby's parents tonight and the little one laughed and I mean deep belly laughed for us for like 10 minutes! Apparently their dog was super funny! And when he was laughing it made us all laugh it was too cute!

I'm currently sick and super ready to not have a sore throat/cough and I'm really tired of sounding like a man! Im also ready for the little one to start back to his normal schedule of sleeping through the night as this whole getting up every 2-3 hours if not earlier is just exhausting! Heres to hopping tonight is a better night!!!

4 Months Old!!!

My sweet little boy is 4 months old!!! It's hard to believe how fast time flies!!! He is already cutting a few teeth (crazy right) and changing every day! He is such a joy and blessing to us and we are so thankful for him!!! Love this little man so much!!!

Below are a few pictures from our photo shoot with my best friend Di today! Thanks to her we have all these amazingly beautiful pictures!!! She's the best!!!

He Laughs

He laughs and giggles and it is the most magical sound in the ENTIRE world! It makes me smile and laugh and do whatever ridiculous thing that made him laugh over and over again!  This particular time it was blowing raspberries on his leg!  Apparently he found it quite comical!  Usually when he laughs its because I play peek-a-boo with him!  We have one of him laughing while playing peek-a-boo and when we the hubby was watching it I heard this awful noise and I was like what is that???? and it turns out that it was me talking/playing peek-a-boo with the babe! I despise the sound of my voice when I hear it over the video camera or something!  It sounds as if I have the highest pitched squeakiest voice ever and I personally would not want to spend time with me if that's really how I sound...I just hope and pray that its not how I sound because I sure feel sorry for the people that have to listen to my voice all the time!  But enough about me please feast your eyes upon this sweet little child of mine laughing and giggling and I hope it makes your day as fabulous as it made mine!!!  :-D

Oh and PS when he saw himself laughing it made him cry!  How crazy is that???

Fashion

The newest in fashion has just arrived straight off the runways of Paris and Tokyo! It's a unique style that no one saw coming! All the ladies are raving to get in on this fashionable attire! High cheekbones are out! What you need is to plump up those cheeks (the chubbier the better)! Potbellies are also in style this season and should be accompanied by cute cloth diapers! Argyle socks are also a big hit! Make sure you wear red and orange together along with some sort of pattern or design like monkeys! If you can't pull off this style it's okay but don't be jealous of those who can! It's not for everyone!!! Keep on trying out your own new looks and stay posted for some other new fashion trends!
