Crazy about my baby boy

This week my baby boy turns 5 months. The days are really flying.

At 5 months this little one doesn't have the greatest sleep schedule yet. Somedays he will do 5-6 hour stretches, eat and go on for another 3-4. Other nights like last night he is up every 1-2 hours to nurse. I can't really put my finger on what the difference is in the nights he sleeps well vs the nights he doesn't.

Yesterday he started eating more of the rice cereal. He ate almost half his bowl! (I was thinking that maybe this made him wake so often at night, not sure)

I'm looking forward to getting on to fruits and veggies. Hopefully in the next couple weeks!

We had a fun weekend visiting family. Kris loves to involved and always wants to be part of the conversations and fun. He even loved sitting with his cousin watching Mickey mouse in my iPhone.

I may not have much time to blog this week. This week will be busy for us. My sister's wedding is coming up! We are so excited and all ready!

I tried on my dress twice already this weekend and just walked around in it haha!

We just bought baby k's booties this weekend to go with his suit! He looks so cute in his suit.

Hope you all have a great week!

Sunny days and New stuff!

This week was just beautiful! We never had a March like this! I was sporting a tube top getting some sun.

Today baby and I spent most the day out shopping and out for a walk in the neighborhood.

Even though the weather has been awesome, yesterday I was feeling a little down. I think it's the sleepless nights cathching up to me. I just haven't been feeling myself. I usually sleep when the baby sleeps at night. But the past 2 weeks, I just can't get to sleep. It's so frustrating and it's making me feel crabby and foggy. My body is really feeling it too, my back, knees,ankles and wrists. Boo!

Today I decided to try and feel better with a little shopping. :) and with Mr snuggles being so cute everyday, it always makes me feel better.

 He was just playing and playing while I took my time browsing around.
Some outfits for baby K
Summer dress

colorful flats

Polka-dot sandals


Sunglasses, how cute!

Today we used the seat part of the stroller which is great because the canopy is much larger and blocks most the sun.... Well, the real reason we used it was because baby K had a blowout... poop all over his carseat, I had to clean it and let it dry, so we still went out for our walk with the other part of the stroller :). I'm having big issues with diapers these days. I went up a size to see if it would help... but nope still happens :/ 

This evening I went down to visit my mom and sister to discuss my sisters wedding next week... NEXT week!! We talked about or hair and makeup and decorating the house. We are all sooo excited.

Today baby K got a gift from his grandma. This gold bracelet with his initials KLM :)
 

Baby is sleeping, so I'm going to try and sleep too. Wish me luck!

Just some Tuesday fun

We started off our day with no coffee in our house. I was a little grumpy, but then decided to just buy breakfast and enjoy it at the park with baby K.

The weather was perfect.

I wanted to just stay out the whole day! But Baby K was a little fussy today so we spent most the day indoors.

We ate some cereal and made a mess and we watched some Mickey Mouse videos too.

We also received his cute shoes for my sisters wedding! Which is just 10 days away! How cute are these black leather slipper shoes with his name on them!

Then this evening my sister came over and we went to the mall to shop! DH babysat ;) we had a awesome time at the mall.

Tuesday fun pics ;)

Fun weekend, zoo, lake and eating out

This weekend was great! The weather has been amazing the past week, and will continue to be this week! It's awesome and everyone is enjoying it!

Friday I went to the zoo with my nieces. They had soo much fun. My older niece got to feed a lama and my baby niece was loving the animals. We had a great time and the weather was great!

Saturday my husband and I decided to spend the whole day out in the city. We started with our favorite breakfast place then headed to a park, (we went to the same park I was at Friday, and someone had burned it down early saturday morning. How sad!!!) we also went for a walk on lakeshore and ended our evening at a sushi restaurant we use to always go to in our old area.

Baby K loves being outdoors. He loves looking around and absorbing all the new things around. He hate just sitting in his carseat when we are at restaurants. He wants to be able to look around and be part of the conversations. Haha

He must have had a lot to think about because he has been sleeping much better too.

The weather this week will be awesome too! I'm looking forward to going for a walk everyday!

Hope you had a great weekend too!!!

Blog post - Beautiful week, shopping and playdate

Today was such a beautiful day!

So was yesterday! Yesterday my nieces came over for a visit. My 18 month old niece was having so much fun dancing and singing, she has the most adorable personality. She was copying everything I was doing, and she just loves her baby cousin.

The sun was shining so bright today, I love that spring came early! Today baby and I went out for a walk and went out to shop a little too.

While out shopping today at homesense I saw 2 chairs that I like, I have the perfect spot in my bedroom for one. Hmm!

I love homesense. Today I bought 2 new pots!

Yesterday I tried putting baby boy in the seat attachment of the stroller, see the pic below. He is wayy too small for it still. Although this seat can recline so he could be in it very comfortably if I use it.

Hope you all had amazing weather today too!

A beautiful Sunday

 Sunday we had amazing weather!! And this week it will continue!

We went to the zoo in the park for a walk.







Baby K loved seeing the animals. He was concentrating on all the different sounds and scenery.




Spring is here! I'm excited to spend more days outdoors!

After Saturday night, being out 9 hours without nursing, I was in sooo much pain!! I had to pump many times during the day and finally I leveled it out. Yikes! I can't do that again. Not when I'm use to nursing every 2-3 hours!

Last night baby K slept soo well! I was sooo happy because I needed it! I didn't end up sleeping till 5am from the party the day before!

He slept a 4.5 hour stretch then 3, then another 3! happy mama!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Fun Girls Night Out!

Saturday night was my lovely sisters Stagette party with the girls!


We we went for a sushi dinner then to a lounge to have some fun!

It was an interesting evening, haha! I won't go into too much detail but the lounge was... different . But with all us girls together it was soo fun!

We even ordered cupcakes!


Bride to be!





We are excited for the wedding!!!!! Just 19 more days!!!!!!!! eeeeeeee!!!!!!

First day of solids for baby boy

When I went for Kristian's 4 month check up our doctor said I can start him on rice cereals. I was going to wait until 20 weeks, but decided to start this week a week sooner haha!

Yesterday was the first taste!!

I only gave him a small spoon of it for just a taste. He was so cute. Today we tried again, I made it more runny this time.

Once he takes a tablespoon on cereal a couple times a day for a couple weeks, then we will move on to avocados!!! Yay!!

Yesterday his new personalized bibs came in too, perfect timing!

Here is the video of the first taste. I laugh when I hear my voice on my videos. I really need to think about this everytime I take a video. I should, it's hilarious. So just pay attention to baby k's facial expressions ;)
