Whirlwind Weekend!

I can’t believe it’s already Monday….again….tomorrow! It seems like these weekends just fly by! With each passing day I get a little better acquainted with little Mister and he’s just growing up so fast already. I just love him so much..he’s my precious angel boy! Terence’s parents watched Connor for awhile on Saturday while I power cleaned the house and the exterminator came over. I was able to get some stuff done I’d been putting off before my family visits next weekend. I feel so much better when my house is clean and I’ve caught up on things. While cleaning I noticed how so much has changed in the past few months…gone is my pristine kitchen and house…it’s made way for things like this now….

The trusty bottle warmer…I love you!
Bottle racks now align my counter tops instead of decorations 🙂

And every morning before work I get my pump ready, a cooler with C’s bottles, and a smaller cooler to put my milk in. That doesn’t include his diaper bag, my purse, his car seat, and another bag! I feel like I am packing for a vacation only it’s every morning!

Little Mister has starting blowing bubbles and has become a drool monster! He hasn’t been feeling too good lately and I was worried to leave him in the nursery at church this morning, but he did really good again! I just hope he starts feeling better soon!

Note for Dad: “Mommy says just because I have a big poopy or a HUGE booger
doesn’t mean she wants to come SEE it!” LOL!

Terence grilled us an awesome dinner tonight. He made chicken stuffed with sage and mozzarella. He also grilled some corn and it was sooo good!
We are watching the Lost series finale event right now!

I also made some homemade salsa
(one of my favorite summertime foods)

Here are some pics we took while shopping this weekend.
Connor had to try on this hat…it was all his idea!

And of course we had some SB!

Tomorrow Connor gets to see his cousin Arielle again and go play 🙂
They loooove each other!
So sweet!
I hope you all had a great weekend!

First Shots

Connor had his first shots today so he’s not feeling too well tonight 🙁
Terence took him while I was at work today, which is probably a good thing because I would have cried right along with him! He seems to being doing okay though…just a little fussy. It was so hard to find infant Tylenol because of the national recall. We finally found some CVS brand. If you have some you should go check it out on their website and see if you have one of the recalled bottles. I am SOOOOO glad tomorrow is Friday! Yippeeee!!!!

Bugs Bunny band aids make it all better….
He’s such a happy boy 🙂

TGIF everyone!

May Weekend

I’m counting down the days until my family gets here Memorial Day weekend. I can’t wait! I get sooooo homesick sometimes especially after having Connor I really want them around.

Connor has been an angel baby lately….just smiling and laughing at everything. We love to watch him grow and learn each day. His little smile just melts my heart! It’s the greatest thing on this earth looking into his eyes and see him smiling back at me.
I’ve been having a lot of anxiety lately and I don’t know why??? Just tension and stress…I know I worry waaaay too much about things that don’t matter and I wish I could just lay down and night and let the world melt away. Unfortunately I am not one of those people and I’ve had a hard time managing things lately while trying to get things done. I will start one thing and then forget about it and then start another project…then move onto another thing….I feel like robo mom sometimes! Lord grant me the strength I need to deal with each day and whatever it may bring. I love being a mommy, but sometimes I get overwhelmed…I don’t know HOW all of you with two, three, or four (or more!) kids do it! I’m living and learning each day 🙂

This weekend we went out to lunch with my sweet friend Bree and her son Dillon. We visited a new restaurant called the Yucatan Taco Stand and it was SOOOOO good! We will definitely be going back there!

Dessert
White Chocolate Cream Brule
I also got my hair done! I asked for caramel colored highlights and they turned out really REALLY blond….so I am not so sure about it. It’s growing on me though….what do ya’ll think?

OH!
I ALMOST FORGOT!

Celebrate Good Times!

We celebrated Terence’s 29th birthday on Tuesday. I woke up and walked into the bathroom and Terence said he forgot it was even his birthday! What??? I never forget MY birthday! He’s weird! I brought home some Coldstone Creamery cookies and he blew out his candles and we watched Lost. That’s about it, nothing too exciting…..

Last night we went out with our friends Christa and Adam to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. They just loved on Connor and gave him bunches of attention! He loved it! They are so sweet and will be such good parents someday…hint…hint…

And now let’s talk food…..
LORDY MERCY
look at that salad (it’s mine!)
I was supposed to bring the leftovers for lunch today but forgot it in the fridge!
Terence got this deliciousness…
And for dessert you MUST have a cheesecake right?
I didn’t get my usual Godiva cheesecake (shocker!)
I tried the red velvet and it was delish….but I still favor my Godiva 🙂
This little guy has been an ANGEL the past few days. He rarely cries when I pick him up after work and he’s been good all night sleeping until 5 am or sometimes even 7 am! I’m so proud of our little guy and he’s just growing like a weed already! I hope this little happy streak lasts for a good while! ha..ha..

Hope you are all having a good day!
It’s ALMOST Friday..wooohoooo!!!!

Happy Birthday my love!
I remember the above picture like it was yesterday. It was 10 years ago and you turned 19…it was your first year away from home and I wanted to make it special so I got you a cake, balloons, and that Texas boot pinata! LOL! Each year has been even more special to me and I love you more than ever! I hope you have a good day today honey and enjoy the last year of your 20’s! I thank God for you and the day you were born 🙂

Eden Home Review

I recently had the opportunity to review some WONDERFUL products from Eden Home Baby. The package arrived at my doorstep and it was beautifully wrapped in an organic bag. I was so excited to try out these products because as you all know I have a new baby and am always looking for ways to comfort him and make life a little easier.

Eden Home Baby has a wonderful line of products including organic baby clothes, organic baby gifts, organic baby blankets, organic crib bedding, wooden toys, organic toys, organic baby gift registry, gift ideas for baby shower, Plan Toys, Serena and Lily, & Kate Quinn Organics.

Here is the lovely bag my products arrived in:

We tried out the BPA Free Natural Nurser bottles because we were looking for something Connor could drink out of without leaking. The bottle didn’t leak, but I think the flow was a little fast for him…so when you are ordering these bottles they come in three levels depending on the age of your infant. This was a level three. If you are a nursing Momma the nipple resembles a natural breast so that would help with nipple confusion. All in all I liked the bottle and it’s something I would recommend to nursing Mommas who are converting to bottles.

We also got the Organic Baby Blanket by Swaddle Designs and I LOOOOOOVE it! It’s incredibly soft and Connor loves to be swaddled at night. He has outgrown some of the newborn swaddle blankets and we were trying to find one a little bit bigger that would grow with him. This blanket is HUGE and so cute! I would definitely buy this as a gift for someone…it’s the best swaddler I’ve used.

Here he is all swaddled
The blanket even has a little tag on it that shows you how to swaddle!

Very easy to use and SO soft!
Eden Home is also having a GIVEAWAY FOR A $2,000 ORGANIC BABY SHOWER!!!
