Baby Received his First Sacrament

Yesterday was Kristian's Baptism! We are so happy and feel so blessed to have great family and friends that shared this special day with us.

My sister and her husband became Kristian's Godparents. This is the first step for Kristian in leading his life of Faith.

Kristian Slept the whole ceremony haha! 

He cried when he got baptized... but only because he was sleeping and he felt me putting him down hahaha!




The ceremony was beautiful and Kristian became a member of our church. The Priest talked about living life like a child... fully enjoying every moment. As we get older the stresses of life keep us from fully enjoying ourselves, this happens to us all the time. This is something I really want to try and live by everyday. Being happy and loving and fully enjoying our days with family and friends. Being excited for the small things, just like children are.

After the ceremony we celebrated at a restaurant with family and friends. We had a great time! The day was perfect!

3 more months!

Eek! It's 3 more months then it's back to work!! Baby K will be headed to daycare. We have so much to prepare for the next 3 months. Paperwork for daycare paperwork for work yuk!

Staying at home with the baby is just as hard some days as being a working mom. Both has it's pro's and con's. Although I would love to stay home with little K, I know the daycare I chose is a great fit for him. He will learn a lot and make lots of friends too. I am sure that I will be the one having a harder time getting use to it than him ha!

We are planning a family vacation before I go back. A much much needed vacation!

Have you traveled with your little one? Any tips?

Ahhhh the ocean!

Canada day long weekend fun!

I wish the blogger app was a little more advanced, like being able to place pictures where I want them not just below all the text. Oh well!

This weekend was Canada day long weekend!!

It was also the Euro cup finale! Spain won! We were cheering for both teams but really wanted Italy to win! So we were also sad!

We had a fun weekend and the weather was beautiful.

This week it will be really hot and humid!!

We have a busy busy week planned as I have a lot to organize for baby K's baptism celebration this weekend!!!

Baby K you are 8 months old!

My sweet  baby you are growing up sooo fast! 8 months old today!

You are soo adorable and have the cutest laugh ha! We love you sooo much!

You weigh 16.2 lbs and are still in size 3 diapers and 6-9 month clothing.

You are eating 3x a day plus some snacks and still breastfeeding. I am happy and blessed to be still breastfeeding you! I remember how hard it was and I am happy to have been able to do it for this long :) Even though we are trying to slowly wean you, some days are better than others, but like your daddy says... you love your moo juice haha!

I started making your food a little chunkier and started giving you pieces of soft baby cookies and even some toast today. You love to drink out of a cup, it can be a little messy but you love it.

You nap 2-3 hours a day on your side and still have inconsistent nights. Some nights only waking once and other nights 2-3. We are starting sleep training slowly, we will soon see what works!

You love to babble, clap your hands like crazy now and give high fives. You wave hi/bye when you feel like it ha!You love to move around and daddy has been teaching you to crawl. Some more practice and I think you will get it soon!

Whatever we have in our hands, you want it!  You pay attention closely to everything. You stare and even copy the way I move my mouth when I eat haha! I love your little personality and love seeing you grow and develop everyday. Its soo amazing.

Turning on the music ha!

Next Sunday is a big day for you, you will be baptized!

 Happy 8 months my sweet sweet boy!!!!!!

Spa day and Italy win!

Today was a busy day out!! My cousin and I had a spa day planned and little did we know it was going to be right when the soccer game was on - Italy vs Germany!

I dropped off baby K with my mom (ohhh this was hard for me! Before I left I was listing out everything for my mom.... Be careful if he... Don't let him... If he's hungry... He needs a nap around....etc, etc!! But he was sooo good and didn't cry at all or fuss at all the whole afternoon)

Ok spa! We got a facial! A back massage and a mani, pedi!! It was soo nice!! Can't wait to go back!

While we were getting our nails done we were listening to the game. Haha.

I knew Italy was in the lead but as soon as I walked in the front door if my grandparents house, it was over and Italy won!! Yippy!


Now Sunday is Spain vs Italy! Good thing Kris has both jerseys! Ha!

A RHONJ in our city

Today Teresa Giudice from the Real housewives of New Jersey/ Celebrity Apprentice was in our city at Chapters promoting one of her cookbooks. I haven't watched RHONJ that often this season but I catch it here and there. I also loved watching her on Celebrity Apprentice. I have her first book Skinny Italian which I thought was great.

So since she was going to be close by I decided to go tonight to chapters.

There was over 1000 people! Eek! We didn't stand in line. But got some pictures and were there when she walked out greeting the crowd. ;)

She looked so pretty and spoke Italian to the crowd too ha!

Homemade baby food, parsnips

Yesterday was my making baby food day. Although my freezer is pretty stocked up, I usually make pears and apples weekly since they are a favorite with baby K.

Yesterday I made a new veggie, parsnips. I peeled and chopped them up. Steamed for 15 minutes and then blended adding water to make it to the smoothness I wanted. We will try it out today!

So far peaches were a little to sour and baby was not a fan. Last week I made peas a little more chunky and baby K made hilarious faces every he swallowed haha!

A weekend of fun and firsts.

This weekend was our 5 year wedding anniversary! 5 years!



We spent the afternoon watching the EuroCup as my husband was cheering for Spain! They won! Whoooo!



That morning my husband stayed home with Kris while I went out to get my hair done and ran some errands, just some me time. And came home with these goodies!





Then in the evening we took Baby K to a lobster dinner! Hahaha he couldn't have any, but he was drooling all over it ha! He was really good at the restaurant. He is better when he is in the high chair vs his stroller. These days he hates just sitting in his stroller.


Sunday Italy played and won whooooo!!! Little Kris loves cheering for mommy and daddy's teams haha!




Sunday night my husband was teaching Kristian to crawl. It was so sweet! Kris was giggling so hard that he would fall over.

Check out this adorable video of him. :)

Dinner with the godparents to be

Last night we went out for dinner to celebrate my sister and her husband for being Kristian's godparents soon.
The baptism is only 2 weeks away!

We went to the restaurant we will have the baptism celebration at.

We had so much fun. Kristian wanted to be held the whole dinner, so we passed him around like a hot potato haha!

We had pizza and fried calamari and a plate of mixed grilled meats with mashed potatoes and veggies. Yum!

We also gave them a gift, espressos and lattes for life ha! ;)

Happy Hot humid hump day and vlog!

Whooo! It's hot here!!!

Happy first day of summer reaching record breaking highs!

Kristian and I went out this morning before it gets even warmer.

We went to get a costco card, so now I can finally take part in some of those deals my family and friends talk about haha ;)

Kristian had a little melt down while in there and I had to distract him with my iPhone YouTube Mickey mouse video haha! Glad it worked! Whew!

Last night kris slept sooo well! He woke only once to eat.

I want to night wean this little boy, I have the feel now to know when he really is hungry and when he wants to just cuddle and get himself back to sleep. So since its Back to work in almost 3 months ;( I'm trying to figure out what will work best for us. Although I will need to change it all up as per his schedule of growth haha!

I did 2 Vlogs yesterday and this morning about my start on night weaning.

Check them out ;)
