5 days until 4mo. Today.

Wow.  It's been awhile. 

I'll post again soon with more updates from the last few months.  But for now, I want to share about today.

Lincoln, today...

*you think your Exersaucer is fabulous.  You're talking to it, beating on the little rolling wheel, and attacking the sunshiney toy like the world is coming to an end. 

*you slept 8 1/2 hours in your crib last night - and you put yourself to sleep.  I set you in your crib wide-awake at 10:20pm, thinking I would have to stay up with you for several more hours.  But you just rolled right over to your tummy, made some little noises, and went right to sleep.  I couldn't believe it.  Still can't.

*you're starting to stick your little legs under you and try to shove off the ground when you're on your tummy.  I'm not ready for you to crawl yet, kiddo.  Not ready at all.

*you have decided that rolling is awesome.  Back to front, front to back, round and round.  As much as you can, you are rolling.  You're trying to roll off my lap and off the changing table, which is a whole different story. 

*your bedroom is a mess because I'm in the middle of putting away your 0-3 month clothes and getting out the 3-6 month stuff.  How are you so big?  I cried a couple nights ago when your Daddy took your 0-3 month jammies out of your drawer.

*you love your binky, but in the past couple of days you have truly discovered your thumb.  I think it's rivaling binky for your love.

*you are loving books!  We read a couple of stories every night before bed (at the very least) and you chatter at the pictures.  Unless you're super hungry.

*you sometimes can't decide if you're laughing or crying.  Which means I have no idea, either.

*you love the puppy dog toy that hangs on your carseat.  You've started reaching out to grab it. 

*you frequently have a moment during your naps where you just SCREAM at the top of your lungs.  You're still asleep.  But it scares me to death every time.

*you love to go outside.  But you sneeze every time we head out into the sunshine.  Allergic to the sun?  I think your Daddy is, so maybe.  :)

*you have a lot of very light hair on the top of your head.  If it's brushed sideways you can see it, but otherwise people think you have no hair.

*you love to talk.  Loudly.  Especially when Mommy and Daddy are trying to watch TV.

*you have a monkey on your bum.  And I think it's the cutest thing ever.

I love you, sweet baby!

Busy day yesterday...never quite got to the blog post.

Busy few weeks, actually. Sorry for the lack of communication.

Anyway - my awesome hubby and I celebrated two years of wedded bliss yesterday. I wanted to post some photos of the two of us but have discovered that apparently I never got those shots uploaded and I don't have access to them at the moment. New project!

Thinking about the wedding scrapbook. Thinking. Not actually doing anything. But at least it's in my consciousness...

If I remember, I'll post some pics from our mini-vacation this weekend. Lovely time spent at a quaint little B&B in Parkville, MO.

♥ to Andrew. Happy Anniversary!!

fun weekend.

I love holiday weekends. Really.

We actually worked on Saturday, so it was a split weekend. Having Friday off was super nice, though. Andrew took me to the Plaza for a sweet little date. The rest of the weekend was spent doing projects at home. I crossed about eight things off my to-do list. Excellent.


I'm taking a photography class, so while we were out on the town, I was taking some photos shot entirely in Manual, for this week's assignment. They aren't perfect, but I'm pretty proud of them anyway. :)

This is "our" fountain. On our very first date, we took a photo here. :)

If only every day could be a weekend day....

i have the best hubby.

I told Andrew I wanted some Dear Lizzy product for Valentine's Day. Instead of trying to find this himself - he gave me some cash from a secret stash and took me to Archiver's for a spending spree! I was pretty excited. I've been waiting to see the Dear Lizzy line for quite some time...not to mention I hadn't been to Archiver's in months, so this was amazing!!!

Here's a shot of all of my loot, after the adventure. I only went $12 over my budget. I think that's pretty good. And really, for how much I spent...I got a lot of fantastic stuff. I can't wait to use it all! :)


Especially excited about my new SMOOCH colors, and my very first bottle of Glimmer Mist!

♥ scrapbooking. so much.

my love.

You make me smile like the sun,

Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head -
Spin like a record crazy on a Sunday night.

You make me dance like a fool,
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee.

Just the thought of you can drive me wild.

Ohh you make me smile.


Love you baby. Thanks for always making sure that I'm smiling. :)
