Random Photos

Just a random photo day. We took these over the last couple of weeks. Thought we'd show them to you all. For those who don't see GMan very frequently, yes, his eyes are always opened wide. It's like he doesn't want to miss anything around him so he opens his eyes as big as he can to get it all in.

Baby Sit-ups

While sitting home all day Sunday watching conference we all got a little stir crazy. The Man was playing with GMan. For those of you who know my baby, whenever he is on his back his head is never laying down. He holds it up like he is doing crunches. Well, The Man kept laying GMan down on his back to tease him but this is what happened.

Now, in all honesty his little feet were being held down but I was still amazed when he kept pulling himself up. I keep waiting for the baby six pack to show up. That will be a little depressing, within 8 months my baby has a six pack while I still have no definition whatsoever. Bummer.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me!

It is my Birthday,

Happy Birthday to me!

Yea, it's my birthday! The Little Man was so excited for my big day that he tried to wake up at 6 this morning. I went and gave him his plug and he went back to sleep until 8:15 when I woke him up. I didn't want him to sleep too long and screw up his nap.

The only thing that is planned today is lunch with some girlfriends and their kids. My friend Katie called me up yesterday and asked me what I was doing today. I completely forgot it was my b-day and so I told her I wasn't doing a whole lot. She then reminded me that it was my birthday and said that she would call some ladies to do lunch. Good thing for friends who don't let your birthday go by unnoticed. We plan on taking over Portillo's. It a place with delicious hamburgers. These are the burgers that I craved my whole pregnancy. One week we went 5 times, gross I know.

The Man had to leave the house at 5:30 this morning but he was kind enough to wish me a Happy Birthday when he said goodbye. Atleast I know that he didn't forget. We'll see if he planned anything for later, I don't know yet. :)

As a final thought, I want to know, how many of you have forgotten your birthday and how old were you when it first happened? You won't be judged here, I'm hoping it will make me feel better about losing my brain.

Not a big Fan

GMan is a great eater. So far he had not met a food that he wouldn't eat. Well today was a first. I tried to feed him baby chicken noodle soup and he literally threw up everything that went down his throat, I guess we haven't gotten to that point. Then I mashed some carrots in the baby food grinder and this was the face that I got.

The first two tries were actually better. I would put the food in and he wouldn't close his mouth. Instead he would gag and point his face down until the carrots dropped out. Awesome. The third try was the charm, peaches were a winner. Normally he gets fruit for breakfast and vegetables with lunch and dinner but I just wanted him to actually eat so we could bath him and put him to bed. Only 7 months old and I am already giving in. Puberty is going to be fun.

It's April right?

I was just checkin because it's snowing outside my house right now. Ew gross! The 50 degrees felt great while it lasted. Atleast I know that it's not too far away for good. Hope it's sunny where you are and that you're enjoying it for me.

Funny Little Man story

Over the last few days the Little Man had started discovering shadows. He is constanly trying to grab my shadow whenever he sees it on the floor or his high chair tray. I was feeding Gman (What The Little Man will be referred to as know since it is shorter to type) the other day in his high chair. He was holding his arms out like he always does to beg me for food and he noticed the shadow that his right arm made on his tray. He then tried to grab his shadow with his left hand. In the process he moved his right arm out of the way resulting in the shadow disappearing. He look all over for his shadow, he even looked over the edge of the tray to see if it had fallen off. Well, he lost interest and begged me for food again once more resulting in the shadow of his right arm to appear on the tray. Again he tried to grab it with his left hand, moving his right arm out of the way and the shadow disappearing. This went on between bites of food for the entire meal. I tried to explain what a shadow was but he just looked at me and smiled like "mom your cute when you don't make sense". Ah babies!

World Record? Maybe

I filled up my car with gas today, any one have any idea how long since I did that? 109 days! The last time that I filled the car was December 15th before we left for AZ. Best part is, I still had 4 gallons in my tank. I had the worst gas mileage though. I wonder how much gas evaporates over 3 1/2 months? If any one can figure it out, I would love to know. I'm sure it's not close to a record, but it's a record for me. Goes to show how far I don't drive these days. Honestly, we try to leave the house everyday but most of the stores are within 5 milese of our house. So, lucky for me and my wallet.
