Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Mesh Feeders

Carson has been teething for quite awhile now & with him diving into the solid food world recently, we decided to try out mesh feeders.

At first he seemed sorta confused like: "Hey, this is cold!" ,"And it tastes like Nanas (bananas)!"

 But after awhile he was gnawing away and watching his daddy get ready for work. 

He loved it, Mommy loved it, We loved it.

Yay, Mesh Feeders!

Bringing in the New Year

New Year's Eve '10 will forever be known around here as a crazy, long, wedding day! Yes, all day Friday we were getting ready for my younger cousin's wedding in which Paul & I were both a part of. I'm not gonna lie I've been pretty much dreading this day since we were asked. Mostly because it was going to be longest time I have EVER been away from Carse. The other part because it was a WINTER wedding, with pictures OUTSIDE & we live in OHIO! Uh Duh!

Luckily, we had an usual warm spell the last couple days of December, with a high of 50 degrees & sunny on NYE! Which made for a beautiful day. 

The wedding was beautiful and quick, which is my favorite kind. Victoria, the bride, was stunning. The groom, handsome & nervous looking =). I wasn't able to take very many pictures of the day and we left the reception to bring in the New Year with our best friends. But here are a few pics of the day/night.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My baby has become mobile...



5 months, 3 weeks..

Learning to crawl....

What!?!?...

Need some advice...

Okay peeps, I need some advice. Almost every time Paul or I walk out of the room & lil man can't see at least one of us he either a) Fusses & whines or b) Screams/Cries like we just disappeared forever. I'm sure this partially comes from being a stay at home mom, one of us like always being in the room with him (not on purpose, just because that's how it goes down) & barely ever leaving him with anyone so we can go out, we just take him with us. Today my mom sat with him in the waiting area of the tanning salon while I tanned for FIVE minutes before I did my Mystic & by three minutes, thirty seconds he was screaming! I could barely handle the last bit of time & I got dressed in like 20 seconds, not even playing. I came out, he had tears flowing down his face, my mom handed him to me & he immediately stopped crying &  friggin SMILED!

I think I'm in trouble, y'all!!!!

Everyone says he is spoiled & we need to leave him more often so he gets used to us not being around....

Can you even spoil a five month old?

And I don't want to leave him more often, I'd rather have my little family all together!

What should I do? I need for him to be more comfortable when we leave the room, but how do I change this separation anxiety thing he's got going on? Will he grow out of it or will it get worse? Anyone else had to deal with this?

HELP!

Flashback Friday: Christmas Edition

Clifton Mill 2009

In this pic.....I was still in my first trimester, knowing there was a baby growing inside me but not yet realizing how different our lives would be this Christmas.

A year ago, my life was filled with school, morning sickness, housework, nausea, family gatherings, & more nausea. This year I have diapers, bottles, spit-up, naps, cleaning, family gatherings, more diapers,  & more bottles. A stark difference from my life 365 days ago. Every chore takes a bit longer, every shower is a bit shorter, & every outing is a bit trickier but I wouldn't change it for anything.

I can't believe we are going to be waking up to our son's very first Christmas tomorrow morning. I'm so excited for him, even though he is only five months & has no idea what will be happening. 

I've always been a barely sleeping, early riser for Christmas, but it's Carson's first Christmas! I doubt I'll sleep at all!

Merry Christmas to you all!

God Bless
