update on buddy

they say you never take as many pictures of your children as you do of your first. well i beg to differ. and according to my memaw, i dont take enough of the bug anymore. and SO this post is all about buddy. he continues to be the most joyful, easy going baby i have ever seen. he literally only cries when he is hungry or tired. he is a big bundle of love and we couldnt be happier that God chose us to be his family. he is off the charts - literally - in height 27.7 inches and weight 18.9 lbs {this is from 6.8.11}.























the pictures are in reverse order of his age but are in correct order of the most recent happenings. i hope you enjoy them.

i adore this first picture. i took it today. he fell asleep on his play mat, so i moved him to the car bc we were going to the neighborhood pool. rather than put him in his car seat and wake him up i just set him in the front seat sort of curled up in his blanket and off we went the .2 miles :) before he woke up 5 sec later i snapped this shot.























this is his big sissy, he LOVES her. i am and pretty sure the feeling is mutual!























holding his bottle for .00001 milliseconds by himself, but hey its a start!























bud and his little girlfriend, our next door neighbors daughter. she is three weeks older than him.

cathing up

again with the busy life. its crazy around these parts with 2 children! our week consists of lots of fun but i am starting to feel a bit like a "soccer" mom. im in the car ALLLLL the time. but its good stuff.

bug has been chosen to be in advanced preschool gymnastics (HOT SHOTS) along with only 7 other girls her age, so we are busy with that 2 days a week for 1.5 hours each time. thats a lot for a 4 year old!

we go to my moms every other weekend and try to have as many play dates as we can.

here are a few pics from the past few weeks.

basement project

we have been busy around these parts sorry for the lack of posting for those 4 loyal blog readers i have out there!

my most recent project around the house was to organize my corner of the basement. since i left work back in november we have had this corner of the basement where i have let stuff just pile up. things i brought home from work my sewing stuff etc. so i sent bug to my moms and got to cleaning.

here are the before pics:


































here are the after pics!



















































this project only took 2.5 - 3 hours and $24. :)
