Easter

We had a wonderful Easter!! It was full of family, friends, and lots of fun :) It started on Saturday at Vigil Mass. We got all dressed up and went to the Carmalite Monestary; Michelle took these pictures of us in front of the view from the Monestary.


Easter morning we started at my parents house for breakfast and Easter baskets. After lots of food we headed of to my sister-in-laws house for dinner and an easter egg hunt. Our little man cub had so much fun finding his first easter egg and visiting with cousins!

Bath Time

I have to admit, when we had our little man cub I didn't realize the amount of stuff that comes with a baby. I mean really they are so little and there is so much stuff that goes with them. The carseat, strollers, crib, dressing table, highchair, exercauser, playmat, activity mat, bouncy seat, boopy, swing, bottles, cups, spoons, and the list goes on and on. The truth is you can always come up with something new you need to accommodate your little one. Well, I finally laid down the law ... NO MORE STUFF. Really, we are drowning in stuff!!

Unfortunately our little man cub has grown to big to be bathed in the sink, so we moved him into the bathtub. However, our bathtub is really short, has a track on the edge (hurts to lean on), and he wiggles like crazy in the bath. The consequence being that bath time was torture. It went from a fun relaxing thing for us to a hurried painful experience (my shoulders and back hurt so bad from hunching over). So I caved!! We bought another baby thing. I have to say that this bath seat has saved my life (or at least my back) and it has made bath time so much more fun. He plays and splashes and mommy can just sit back and enjoy him playing!!

Here are some cute pics of out little man cub enjoying his new seat!

Silly Boy

I turn my back for a minute and this is how I found him using his Exersaucer!!

Little Stinker

Our Little Man Cub is getting to be such a big boy. He is so adorable doing his army crawl around the house and he is so proud of the fact that he can get what he wants now. The other day I was doing some work on the computer when he decided he wanted me. He started his army crawl towards me and I turned around to finish my work before he got to me ... well that is not what he wanted. Next thing I knew he was flat on his back screaming to get my attention. Being me I didn't go hug my baby, I grabed my camera to try and get film evidence of it to show daddy!! So, enjoy the video :)

7 months!!!!

I'm a bit late posting these, but my little man cub is 7 months old!! He has grown so much and has such a fun little personality. He can almost sit up, he does the cutest army crawl, he loves rolling across the room, he is a great eater, and he has discovered how yummy toes are.

We are alive!!

Life has definitely gotten the better of me and this blog has suffered. It all started 4 weeks ago with what I thought was the stomach flu, which was then diagnosed as asthma, then re-diagnosed as RSV, and then finally after a week of 102 fever, blood draw, and a chest x-ray we got the final diagnosis of bronchitis. Once we got our little man cub on antibiotics the change was amazing!! He could finally breath easily, sleep and more importantly eat!! It was so sad seeing him so sick; he has always enjoyed his food, but being so sick made eating a hard task. Anyways I snapped some pictures of our living room set-up. It got to the point where going to bed was a joke, so I set up his swing next to the humidifier, got all his medication organized on the coffee table and I got sleep when I could on the couch.


All of my little man cubs medications :(
and our sleeping arrangements.

Grandma Laurie

Today is a very important day for my family ... the day my mother was born!!! I am one of those lucky people who can say my mom has always been there for me. She has been a wonderful mother and now she is a wonderful grandmother. You can see it in our little man cubs face that he loves her; whenever she talks to him his little face lights up!! So today I want to wish my mother a very happy birthday!!!

And because every post is better with a picture here is a picture of Grandma Laurie as a cute, chubby baby!
