A Little Holiday Cheer

Jen made this for me a few year back, and even though the sight of those red holiday cups from Starbucks makes my heart skip a beat, I love, love, LOVE this handmade sleeve for my mocha. I keep it in the pocket of my rain jacket, that way I'm sure to find it as the weather dictates, just as it did for my walk to E's school this morning.

Cheers!

Umbrella Heaven

Look how stinkin' cute these umbrella's are...and they all have matching rain boots & rain coats!
Check 'em out!

Dick Van Dyke is AMAZING!

Changing Table

Sit Up and Take Notice

N is sitting! Can't exactly leave him unattended because of the inevitable head dive, but he can hang out for quite a while on his own and is getting better at stabilizing himself...and it helps to be distracted with a little bit of Bambi.

Avo-Boy

Our boy unsurprisingly loves to eat, and avocado's seem to be the favorite!

Rice is Nice, Now & Then

Watching his big sister help out with these first feedings of solid food easily transports me back to just a few very short years ago when we were starting on this journey with her.

High Chair

Couldn't help but take a picture this morning as he joined us at the table for a belated birthday breakfast out for his mom and auntie! Still needs a bit of support, but he's getting there!

Bed Time

We've been in the process of slowly accustoming N to sleep unswaddled. He's been sleeping with one arm out of his wrap, but wakes up constantly if we take it completely away. Today I stumbled upon these really fabulous sleep sack's down at a local shop. They're so soft and cozy for this colder weather, unzip like a sleeping bag along the sides and snap at the shoulders, and are pretty thick and weighted. The one I picked up is this puppy, and it'll supposedly fit him until 24 months! N's slept like a champ for his naps today and is doing great so far tonight! Fingers crossed.

What the Hail!

As we were driving home from a birthday party this evening I noticed a peculiar and slushy substance piled up along the sides of the wet streets and as we neared our home the ground became more and more white, and less and less wet. E started kicking her legs and screeching "I'm gonna make snowballs!" We parked in the garage, climbed out, and E made a dash for the driveway. It wasn't snow after all, it was pea sized hail 1" deep! Man that really musta made a racket coming down, I'm kinda sorry I missed it!

Cover up those outside faucets, it's the start a what's supposed to be a very cold weekend!
