Wordless Wednesday: What Am I Going To Do When There’s 3?

admin — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 01:49:38 +0000

I know I know.. Wordless Wednesday…..

Last week the sun popped out and it was a balmy 40 degrees! We ran out of the house, and headed for a local park. I was literally turning in opposite directions every 60 seconds. Vincent ran for the BIGGEST slide possible and made sure to hang over the edge far enough to give me a slight heart attack all while screaming “look at me mommy haha hoo hoahahaha”. While Aidan ran directly towards the only road in the whole dang place, over and over and over again until falling in the mud. I chased after him with my stupid pregnancy jeans practically falling off. As you can see from Aidan’s face he thought it was hilarious. So I let him play on the play area and what did he do? He crawled right up those stairs and RAN towards every opening with at least a 2 ft. drop! We then headed to the swings where no sooner did I start pushing Vincent, Aidan ran up and boom they both collided. They laughed. I had another small heart attack and it was then that I thought…

what the hell am I going to do when I have 3 little kids and only one set of eyes? I’m a little worried.

Wordless Wednesday: Valentine’s Day

admin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 02:00:21 +0000

I had a nice day with just me and the boys…. and surprisingly for the first time ever in 10 years my husband actually had flowers sent while he was away. But boy, let me tell you… I’m glad that day is over. It always sort of puts my stomach in knots. If you read the First-Time-Mommy FB status yesterday you know what I’m talking about & I know lots of you feel the same!

Anyway, please enjoy the pics I took!

Wordless Wednesday: My How Time Flies

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:04:43 +0000

Aidan will be 17 months next week. I can’t believe how much he’s grown. He was almost exclusively breastfed, except for a small amount of time where I got really wore out and took bad advice… we quickly went back to nursing and he finally weaned at 16 months!. As you can see by the last picture he has grown just as well as his big brother, who weaned at 6 months & was/is also 90-95th percentile. I can’t believe I’m going to have another one of these little ones pretty soon. Incredible.

Wordless Wednesday: The Detroit Zoo in October–Scccccaarrrry

admin — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:01:12 +0000

We didn’t make it to the zoo all summer so since we only live about 5 miles away I decided to take the kids myself on a week day. They had the reptile cages done up for Halloween. One thing I did not appreciate? A HUGE fake snake hanging over the cage of a REAL snake, right above my head…. I almost had a heart attack. Also, zombies?? in the snake cages? Talk about stuff of nightmares. What’s scarier to you? Zombies? Snakes? or stumbling upon a big ol’ Grizzly Bear?

Wordless Wednesday – Block Party

admin — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 03:07:10 +0000

So, I put my semi social anxiety aside this past weekend and decided to take the kids to a neighboring cities block party. I’d never been to one but it was ok. My husband got to drink a few beers in the street, legally, for like a buck a piece! I got to stand around and compare myself to all the other Mom’s, the baby got to take in some music (he’s really starting to enjoy it) and the 3 yr old got to hang out in the bounce house where all the germs were.. oh and we got to enjoy a seriously delicious apple cider slushie! Fun was had by all but next time I’ll get my flu shot before we go! *cough*

This is what happens when Mom tries to make that 12 month hand-me-down outfit from your big brother last through one more wear! lol. (I honestly didn’t know how short it was until he sat down). Can you believe how big he’s getting???

Wordless Wednesday: Teething Baby

admin — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:20:00 +0000

Oh man, these last few days have been crazy. My mild mannered, relaxed, calm little baby boy is no more! He’s been arching his back, bit my boob several times while nursing, then cries to nurse again (I’m shell shocked of course. Thank God it hasn’t been too hard – still scary), and he’s been complaining a lot.. in baby babble. Hoping his 4 top teeth come out all the way real soon! He got those suckers in months ago.

In the meantime every time he throws a fit, this is what I think of:

I’ve been getting back into photography a little more this summer. I caught this lady (she just looks like a lady) outside my window.
