Hipster Animals

Just stumbled upon this tumblr blog of 'hipster animals'. These drawings are too funny, and spot-on! Like their facebook page here and check out their online store!

Pinterest

I was recently introduced to Pinterest while reading through one of my most favorite blogs, Young House Love. If you have yet to check it out, it's AMAZING. You have to have your invite "accepted" before you can really do anything of your own but it doesn't take too long to be accepted. Until then you can check out other's pinboards. You can view my boards here. I'm still new at it and working between my son's naps. Love it though!

Easter Weekend

How was your holiday weekend? Robby had a great first Easter. Friday was my last day of work and now I am a stay at home mom working on Amazon and Etsy. My husband starts at his new job today as an accountant. We are so excited!
On Saturday we took Robby to meet some dogs that were for adoption. We currently have two cats and our apartment only allows two animals but there is no harm in looking. My older sister on the other hand found a handsome dog named Otis.

Sunday marked another first for my son. He rolled over for the first time! My husband and I had him on his tummy when suddenly he rolled over! When I went to video tape him attempting again he cried. Fortunately my husband got a couple more on video later on. Here he is holding his head up super high. My baby is getting so big! [3 months already!]

Robby was a bit crabby on Easter and wanted to constantly be held. My husband decided to go out and grab a Kolcraft Wonderbug from WalMart. While it is super cute, my son is still a bit small for it.

For Easter dinner we went to my parent's and also had an Easter egg hunt!

 Enjoying his gifts from Mom Mom!

My son's first laugh

For the past month my son has been talking...a lot. He will also giggle in his sleep but never actually did it while awake. Over the weekend I decided to sing a little excerpt from The Wiggle's song "Fruit Salad" here is what happened:

So glad both me and my husband were able to witness it! Hopefully we'll both be with him when he says his first word, takes his first step, and all those other firsts! 


sidenote: pay no mind to the mess around our little apartment. After returning to work our place has turned upside down BUT I put in my two-week notice on April 8 to spend some more time with my wonderful son before he grows up. I had seen Toy Story 3 for the first time last night and I'm so glad I made this decision. The part when Andy's mom stands in his room after it's cleared out made me cry...all over my son since he was asleep in my arms!

A Spring Giveaway

Christina over at Christina's Adventures is having a lovely spring giveaway. Also check out her etsy shop where I found this cute clipboard:

Weekend in review

It was a gorgeous weekend after having some wild storms down here in Florida.

-SATURDAY-

Lazy Saturday morning with my two handsome boys

Visiting the local nursery. Robby must be dreaming of mama...

Enjoying my afternoon picking out herbs for our mini garden

Robby's first picture with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. Apparently my Mom was the only one ready for a picture.

Giggles for Pop-Pop

 -SUNDAY-

We visited my in-laws. My sister-in-law came to town. She is due May 15th with Robby's cousin Connor. Afterward we came home and rested since Robby thought 3am was time to get up last night. We also took the time to have Robby paint his first picture with his feet:

He wasn't too happy.

His first masterpiece!

He really enjoyed getting his feet washed off in the sink though. I swear he'll be a good swimmer. Before bath-time my husband, Robby and I laid on our bed and played "Hi my name is Joe!" Robby didn't join in until we started kicking our feet in there. I'm sure if anyone were to peek in our windows they would have thought we were crazy.

Nursing

This photo shows one of my most favorite things about nursing:

I love it when my son holds onto my top. His hands are so tiny, yet I can't believe how big they've gotten in 2 1/2 months. I swear there is nothing better than the bond that nursing gives. Sometimes it feels burdensome; going out in public, being on a schedule, stopping whatever I'm doing, I still wouldn't trade it for anything. He'll only be this small for a short amount of time and soon I'll be the uncool Mom, Daddy will be the fun one doing all the boy things (even though when he's hurt, emotional, or just plain lovey Mommy will be the one he wants to be around). So for now this is my time with him. Something he and I can bond together with before the next 9 1/2 months fly by and he's a big one year old.

Already sucking on his shirt (he wasn't in a onesie for once!) and pulling on his toy rings.
