Spring Days

We almost missed stroller fitness yesterday because baby M was a little under the weather. He has his 4top teeth coming through! 4! He's miserable!!! 

But I figured he could nap in the stroller and the fresh spring air could help.

10 moms come out for stroller fitness. The instructor is amazing. She really pushes us hard! I'm feeling it today! 

Then at the end of our workout we have a little playtime with the kids 

 Michael loved it! Not one peep from him as he enjoyed the outdoors! 

This week I decorated our front porch area. 

I bought new planters with Ferns and a cute wreath. We also bought some boxwood plants to add to the front walkway. 

Just missing some mulch to add around the plants which we will do today. 

I started spring cleaning last week! I have a lot of decluttering and organizing to do!

Have a great weekend friends! Will you do some spring cleaning this weekend too? 

Happy 8 months!

Baby boy you are 8 months old! 

I can hardly believe it :( I truly feel like you were just born! 

You are 20lbs and in size 4 diapers haha you are a big boy!! 

You are crawling like crazy and lift yourself to stand no problem! 

You are just the sweetest baby! You do so well with our busy family! We are always out and about and you just love it! 

You love the bath and you love to eat! 

You feed yourself finger food and eat pretty much everything these days. 

You are still breastfeeding but we are slowly trying to daytime wean you. As its back to work in 3.5 months! Boo! :( 

You enjoy playing with big brother. Big brother is your biggest fan. He's always cheering you on and gets very excited when you learn something new. The bond you guys already have melts my heart! 

This weekend you had a few firsts.

First time going to the movies Ha! You did great! Well,  you were sleeping for most the movie but when you woke up you watched the movie no problem! 

We also went to Niagara Falls this weekend. 

We had lunch at the Rainforest cafe which was fun. You loved seeing the animals and kept screaming at the elephants hah! Which has me thinking that we will do a jungle themed birthday for you! Yes I'm already planning your first  birthday! Sigh. 

Super fun weekend! And a very happy 8 month birthday boy :)

End of season...

I'm so lucky that we have 1 year maternity leave in Canada with the government talking about extending it to 18 months. How great would that be for future parents. Spending as much time as we can with our babies is so special. I love being home with my kids and running the household. :) my boys just melt my heart! I know I say that everyday! But they doooo. 

Lately baby M has been taking 3 hour morning naps. So I've been getting a lot of errands done in the morning. Today I decided to get dressed up and hit the mall. Since most days consist of wearing tights and shirts with spit up haha. 

New boots. Scored for a great deal. 70%off! Oh how I love end of season sales. I love that it's a thicker heel. Instead of wearing my other flat boots or stiletto boots, this is a perfect casual in between!

Little batman loves my necklace ha! It's from Stella and Dot it's my go to necklace for everyday. It can be dressed up or down and worn 5 different ways to add different looks! I love it! 

Back to sales. There are some awesome end of season sales. Which has me in stores and online everyday! Yikes! some of the deals are too good to pass up!

Have you been finding great deals at stores near you? Or online? 

Because we have! 

Have a great weekend friends!

Little k has been practicing piano and is really enjoying it!

He's also Soo into starwars and can name everyone and tell you his favorite scenes of the movie. 

Now with Michael loving the bouncy gym, im getting a little extra time on my hands ha! 

Michael loves to watch big bro. It's the absolute sweetest thing ever and melts my heart each time! 

Big brother is so protective of little brother and calls him "my baby Michael" I can't take the cuteness!! 

We are a little under the weather the past few days :( but still cute as always! 

We are planning our first family vacation as 4. Little k asks everyday if we are going to the beach. Ha! But he's also loving this snow especially when the school has sleds for everyone at recess! 

Christmas fun!

️Merry Christmas friends! 

We had a wonderful christmas! 

This cutie's first Christmas! 

 And with him making our family of 4 I am soo thankful for my little family, this Christmas was soo special. 

Little k was soo patient with all those gifts starring him down. We have a big family so the gifts piled up quick! 

Christmas Eve we had dinner at my aunts house with family. 

It's always a good time with these folks!

 

Santa stopped by too! 

By the time we got home, the kids were sleeping. So we opened presents Christmas morning. 

My best gifts ever,  are these boys. They bring so much happiness to our lives.

And of course it was all about Star Wars this xmas, little k got Sooo many Star Wars gifts. 

The best part of winter break for littlek was watching the Star Wars movie with daddy! When they got there they saw a couple friends from school which made it even better! 

Soo much fun!
