The Sweetest Sound

This little one, oh he makes me smile. His new favorite game when picked up (by his daddy) is to throw himself backwards in hopes (one can only hope) that Rian will tickle him with his stubble. Happiness ensues.

Saturday Morning Checklist

Made it to Saturday morning. Thank.Goodness.For.Saturday.

Here is my checklist for a successful Saturday morning:

• A husband who took our little nocturnal 6-month-old downstairs to play at 6:30am, so this exhausted mama could have a few extra hours of sleep, CHECK
• Flannel morning attire and a warm bed to call home all morning, CHECK
• Tired baby who finds his way back into the bed via said amazing husband for a long morning nap, CHECK
• Husband who heads to the grocery store to get fixin's for brunch and dinner while said baby and mama are hunkering down in said cozy, warm bed, CHECK

Coming up some day...Jack's 6 month well child visit,  a half-year birthday letter for our little owl, er, sparrow and possibly a very honest post about being a new working mama (spoiler alert: it isn't easy)

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to our most amazing dads, Grandpa Bob (aka Dad-to-you) and Grandpa Jeff (aka Kepi)!

        

A very special shout-out to the best new dad on the block (and beyond, of course).

Rian, you are the most wonderful middle-of-the-night-diaper-changing, stroller-pushing, chocolate-chip-pancake-making, guitar-strumming, problem-solving, smile-inducing, loving dad!

We love you right up to the moon, happy first Father's Day!

Acoustic Saturday

 

Jack meet Mr. Acoustic Guitar. Mr. Acoustic meet Jack. We are hoping Rian's guitar playing replaces Jack's love of Flo Rida and Kris Kross, fingers, well um, crossed (pun noted). On the playlist for this rainy Saturday: Misfits, Social Distortion and a mean rendition of "The Ants Go Marching". When Rian stopped playing, Jack let out a loud wooooohhhh, translation: Encore!

 

          This was one captivated baby.
