9 Month Check Up!


Well, Mr Man is a very healthy baby boy! He is quite advanced in the mobile department and is right on track with everything else. Mommy and Daddy are doing a good job.


Right now his weight is 20 lbs. He is in the 75% of height (he had a growth spurt) and he is only in the 12% of head circumfrence.


He is trying to cut 3 teeth right now, the 2 front and one right inscisor.

One the Mocha front... we are currently in 4th place. Boooo! Apparently, people like dogs who wear hangers or hoodies?

9 Months! and a 1st Haircut!

9 Months already... OMG! Where is time going? I feel like I may blink and he may be a year. Geesh!

In your short 9 nine months I feel like you have accomplished so many things, all while changing my life.

Some things you are doing:
  • You have taken 3 steps, without holding on
  • You pull up on everything, and cruise around it, like it is nothing
  • You have figured out how to chew. Like really. You actually eat a whole puff.
  • You love to dance and rock around
  • You LOVE your new rocking horse (thanks Uncle L!)
  • You stand, dance and sing to every song that comes on
  • And best of all... you got your VERY FIRST HAIRCUT!

Smock on... check!

B: Um? Why the heck is this guy spraying me with water?


B: Daddy... why do I have to sit here?


B: Hey... what is going on... let me see!


Future rocker!


B: I could get used to this star treatment!

B: Tadddaa! Check me out, I am stylin' and profilin'

Today was an exciting day and a sad day for Mommy. It was thrilling that Mr Man is old enough to get a hair cut, but it saddens me that he is growing so quickly. Sometimes I still feel like it is week 1 and my boobs are leaking and I am getting no sleep. Others, it is as if, he has been here all along.

Mr Man, there are no words to describe the love, excitement, enjoyment and passion for life you give your Mommy. There is never a day you don't make me smile or laugh, and there is never a moment I would change my life. B, mommy loves you, and I hope your life is as full of love as you have given me.

Mwuuaah!

Playdates are great!

Especially when pretty girls are involved ;)

Yesterday, my friend Lindsay headed over my way, and we let A and B play around, while we chatted it up and ate some pizza. Seriously, is was a great way to spend a Thursday!

It was so fun watching the little ones interact. They are only 1 month apart, so they are mostly of the same level. A is a little better at eating (JK Lindsay) clapping and waving, but B has her beat in the motor skills department.

At first B tried to eat A's bow, and A tried to lick his head, but after that... they were having a great time. Playing the piano together, climbing on the gate to get the dog's attention, and just crawl around.

It was so fun! Thanks for a great day Lindsay!

Hope everyone has an awesome Friday!!

I'm Going to Cry...


Yesterday, while at the rents house for my mom's b-day, Mr Man took his Very First Step!!!


Oh Mr Man, how you are growing up right before our eyes!


Let me set the sceen:


My dad was cooking this amazing crab cake recipe in the kitchen. My mom was in the other room, checking out my awesome fabric for my new drapes. My baby bro was changing. And Mr Man and I were in the living room playing with their dog.


Mr Man had one hand on my knee (on my right), the dog was on the left. Well... that is all it took for him to take the leap.


He let go of my knee, took one step towards the dog, and grabbed my knee again.


It only lasted 5 seconds, and hubs wasn't even there *le sigh* but it was so unbelievable.


Mr Man did it! I know he is going to be walking any second.

There is...


There is a woman I know who is... a gardener, a writer, a lover of politics, a law student, a seamstress, a teacher, a chef, a kayaker, a traveler, an artist, a friend, a confidant, and best of all... a mother.


To me, there are not enough words to describe this person. She is my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, my favorite person to share a joke, and a woman that has never let me down.


She has been there through the tough times always holding my hand, all while giving me a push in the right direction.


When there are questions, she has the answers. When there are tears, she has tissues. When there are fears, she is calm. To me, she is the embodiment of love.


She is my mom.


And today... is her birthday.

She is another year young, and although she thinks her body is starting to age, I whole heartily disagree.





My mom has grace she doesn't even know she has. She has confidence that amazes me daily. She has intelligence that is unrivaled. She has experiences that no one can beat.





The most amazing thing about my mom is that if it needs to be done, she will do it. If there is a challenge, she will conquer it. And if it looks fun, she will be the first one to jump in and try!

Mom,





There are not enough water slides, kayak boats, garden utensils, manicures, swimming pools, dresses, or jewelry to buy you, that could express the amount of love I have for you.





You make me laugh, make me think, and best of all make me happy that you are MY mom!





For all that you do, I hope you know, that it has never gone unnoticed!

Happy Birthday Momma!

Brandon... oh Brandon, you beast of a man... you tried your hardest, and we still love you! Ahmad, you tried too, *insert slap on butt here*, run like the wind buddy!





Plaxico... I hate you. Go away! How in the hell do you, as a proffesional athlete, accidentally shoot yourself in the thigh. You deserve whatever's comin' your way!





Osi... you looked damn fine in your suit, but you would have looked better suited UP and on the field sacking McNabb.
