Foto Reel Friday- Growing rolls

Our week Friday to Friday in Fotos.  
Loves being snuggled up cooking with his momma.
 Enjoyed being in his sleeper till noon.  :)

 Enjoyed his new signature fashion move, baby leggings.

 Enjoyed being held at length after feedings.
 Enjoyed reading a book cover to cover for the first time.  :) Gotta Love the Runaway Bunny.
He enjoyed time with his Daddy.
 He liked showing off how long he's getting.


  After spitting up all over his onesie I stripped him down to get changed.  I took more than a moment to dress him again as I admired all his little rolls that are forming on his sweet skinned body. 
 


 
 










 My little cowboy.
 

I'm looking forward to a date night with B.  Cuddles with my boys.  Warm weather.  A little yardening gardening.  Church.  and a lunch date with some great friends.  
As Barry always says........."Welcome to the Weekend!"

A Handsome Mess

Sometimes he just wants to be held.  
He doesn't need a paci.  
He doesn't want his crib, rocknplay, or swing. 
So on these days I may not get to unload the dishwasher all in one setting.  We may do it piece by piece over a few hours.  

I may have to sweep the house with an extra 8+ pounds in my arms. 
Our kitchen island becomes a drop off location for all the household misfits.
Our bed gets half made, and is transformed into a baby feeding station.

The pile of clothes to launder grows and the pile to fold stands still. 
So what.
When people come over I'm really good at doing the shov and hide routine.  :)  
Cause for now all that matters is spoiling this baby with cuddles while I can.  The day when he is too big to want to be held will come quicker than I can imagine.  So I'm hanging on to today, along with all the dust bunnies and raging yard weeds that come with it.

Repreve for a Downtaholic

Are you a suffering Downtaholic?  The first step towards recovery is admitting your problem. 

In our house we aren't to dedicated to many shows on tv, especially since the arrival of lil' man.  However, we decided to start season 1 of Downton Abbey on Netflix, and became like many others, hooked.  I know, we're a little late to join this band wagon but just in case you're like us and hadn't checked it out I highly suggest watching season 1 and and 2 before September when season 3 starts up.  
We just finished up season 2 last night and I'm sad we have to wait so long to see more.  The show has inspired me to do something I'm not usually into.  
Read.  
Yes, I read blogs, magazines, twitter but reading a book just usually isn't my thing unless it's been forced upon me by a professor.  
Enter Downton Abby Literature.  :)
I spotted these three gems at Joseph Beth Booksellers and my eyes lit up.  
The true story of Highclare Castle where the show is filmed.  It focuses on the life of the countess who reigned there for so long.  
 A fictional story with lots of similarities to the Downton story. 
A memoir from a kitchen maid that supposedly inspired that story line in Downton.
Which one I will choose?  Not sure yet, but I'll let you know how it goes and what I think of them when I do......My guess is whichever one can be downloaded onto my iPad will win.  :)

Anyone else having Downton withdraws?

1st Mother's Day

Lot's of "firsts" are happening in our little world.  This time it was my first Mother's Day as an active participant.  Yes this time I was wished a Happy Mothers Day and I received sweet cards, texts, hugs, kisses, baby snuggles, and gifts.  Best of all I recieved Momma love.  Awesome to know that I get that the rest of my life.  
 
Mom's are so special in so many ways and each ones caring and love comes wrapped in a wonderfully different package.  
We are blessed enough to have spent our day with the two Mommy's who mean the most to us.   What a great group to get to join.  
We got to see Sarah and Reagan at church on her 1st Mother's Day too.  :)












Hope you had a great Mother's Day.
