March Madness

It’s Spring! How exciting is that? Gone are the days of cold weather. Well, theoretically. Regardless, just the idea that summer is around the corner is enough for me to feel a bit brighter. This week has really just been a blur. Wake up, go to work, snuggle Eli, go to sleep- and repeat. But, this weekend we’ve got some big things planned. Eli is going to meet two of his great-grandparents this weekend and Josh and I will (hopefully) get to go on a date. Hello weekend.

It’s been almost a month now since I gave up milk and I think it’s starting to pay off. We only had to give him gas drops a few times this week, unlike a few weeks ago when we had to give him drops a few times a day. It’s all worth it to make baby boy feel better.

Eli: Week 10

This week I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by sporting this ridiculous shirt. I don’t know what mom was thinking. I’m not even Irish! I must have had another growth spurt because two days this week I slept SO much. Speaking of sleep, my new favorite way to sleep is with both arms over my head. I’m still doing really well putting myself to sleep, but I’m still committed to sleeping in the bassinet. I really enjoy the sound of the vacuum and I’ve been practicing giggling more and more. My eyes started to turn a little bit green, but if you see me up close you can still see they are mostly blue. I’m a happy little boy!

I’m off! I’ve got so much to do if we’re going to get out of here. Have a great weekend!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
