Pinterest obsession

I have become so obsessed with pinterest that it is all I do most days on the Internet!! I have these thoughts that I'm going to make this lovely dinner every night while home on maternity leave when it has actually only happened a handful of times!! Most nights we either eat out or throw something frozen in the oven! However I have made several things that have turned out very good! Here are my favorites!!

I can't wait to try more!!! I've also pinned several ideas for the wedding lets just see if they actually get made!!

Happy Valentines Day!

The sweetest Valentine ever!!!

We have our first play date today! Well I don't think there will be much playing it will mostly be mommy time to actually have an adult conversation!! However, Aiden looks super excited about meeting Sophie!

Traveling with a baby

In three weeks we will be taking our first road trip with Aiden to see my two sisters in Birmingham! I'm a little nervous about traveling with him and worry about how he is going to do in the car for 6 hours but at least I'll have grandma and great grandma there to help!! I'm hoping to get some much needed sleep on this trip since he will have so many people to play with (and spoil him!) I miss my sisters so much and hate that they don't get to see Aiden on a regular basis. However we do Skype each other at least two times a week!! Thank goodness for the Internet!!

I've also already started making a list of things to pack. I know I will take so much stuff but really don't want to forget anything! Everything we have I use on a daily basis! I have consulted a friend on advise since she has traveled so much with her little ones. Here is my list and if I'm leaving anything out please let me know! This is a whole new experience for me. I'm looking at it as a "trial run" because we are going to the beach in April for our wedding!!

Diapers, wipes, desitin, gas drops, gripe water, bath lotion and soap, bath towels and wash cloths, blankets, burp cloths

A friend gave me a travel tub

Outfit (or 4) for everyday we are gone plus PJ's

Bouncy seat (because this is his bed!)
Possibly co-sleeper or pack and play of he is actually sleeping there by then!!

Travel swing (also given to me by a friend) it folds up and is great!!

Bottles, bottle brush, drying rack (I have a small one and don't want them touching the sink at the hotel), dish soap

Breast pump and formula, paci

Wow babies need a lot!! I know I'll be adding to this daily but at least I'm starting to think about it now!

Feed me!!

This pretty much sums up our day!!

My boy is getting so big that we are officially out of 0-3 month clothes. Hopefully this will slow down before we hit 18 month clothes at 6 months old!!! But how cute is that face!!!

Blogger App

I'm coming to you from my bed this morning! I just realized blogger had an app!! I may be behind the times but I had no clue and feel this may allow me to post more often!!

After two terrible nights (literally up all night with a congested baby) we have had two really good nights! Both nights Aiden has only gotten up one time to eat and then goes right back to sleep!! Now mommy is still getting up more often just because I'm not used to him sleeping that long and I check to make sure he's still breathing but I think we may have this sleeping thing down!!

We tried Friday night to get Aiden to sleep in his crib but had no luck after at least 10 times of going back and forth. We decided this just isn't the right time and will keep him in our room for now! If he gets too big for the bouncy seat maybe we will just buy a bigger one! Ha!

We have also been smiling more especially when mommy sings (probably because it's so bad 😃)! I just love this face!!
