My Crazy Little Family

We get the opportunity to bless Oakley this Sunday! We have tons of family coming to hang out and spend Sunday with us.

So what do we do?

We move!

Yes, Aaron likes to keep me on my toes. We found a new renter for our apartment (in less than 12 hours) and they wanted to take over our lease ASAP. Our new home is available now, so what the heck! add it to our weekend plans.

Along with moving comes all the tedious things like moving internet over, changing our address, sorting out the mail, and all that other crap. So that being said, I probably won't be blogging much. The next post I make will be photo's of our new home though I promise! It's amazing, brand new, which means everything is CLEAN!! I can organize, we have a garage (so all Aaron's "stuff" can be out of my sight) and the space is perfect for our crazy little family

I Throw My Hands Up In the Air Sometimes

A friend of mine told me I could make a whole blog for the funny hand/arm positions I catch Oakley in. So here it is:

He already looks so annoyed with the stupidness:)

One whole Month!

My big boy is exactly one month old today! I attempted to take some pictures but I tried at the wrong time so I have a bunch of Bloopers for you. He pooped and spit up all over his outfit and the blanket during these, hence the strange faces..

He finally fits in his newborn clothes
Loves to miss the burp cloth and spit up down my shirt at the last second
Stays calm and likes his baths
Eyes are blue ish around the edge and hazel in the middle
Wakes up once sometimes twice during the night
Likes the Mumford Pandora station
Daddy wants to play, Mama likes to cuddle

Mr.Serious

Guess what happened in this one!

Super powers

Business in the front

Party in the back

Thanks mom for the best quilt in the world to photograph 

Foodie Friday

I've been watching obnoxious amounts of Jon & Kate Plus 8 lately because all I do is sit on the couch and feed a baby it feels like... And when I'm not feeding a baby I'm sitting and staring at one, or just laying on the couch. But hey, I'm tired and slowly getting used to this schedule and each day gets better and better.

Anyway, Kate Gosselin has inspired me to be a better housewife. If she can do it with 8 kids, I can do it with a newborn. I don't want to hear anyone else's opinions because I think she's a great mom and even through all the crap she's gone through she stuck to her guns and did the right thing. Plus, Jon was weird anyway.

I made a great shopping list and am headed out to the grocery store tomorrow with my mom. Planned some delicious meals and cant wait to try some new recipes! Although I'm sitting here eating a Tostinos Pizza (because it sounded SO GOOD), I love eating healthy, it tastes delish and I feel delish after.

This plan will hopefully make my husband want to come home a little earlier for dinner each day and hopefully make everyone happier including my chill little boy sitting quietly in his swing just looking around. Scratch that last part, he's a very happy boy, I couldn't ask for happier.

EXCEPT when his dad puts his pants on before snapping his onsie so he knows he's wearing a gay unitard.

I could probably write a whole post about stupidness that happens between Aaron and Oakley... but i'll spare the judgment. 

Sticking his belly way out. Watching TV with dad. Arms so relaxed!

Now that all of his "things" have fallen off we gave him his first bath in the tub! He looks sad, but he didn't cry too bad, just some wimpering. Much better than the kitchen sink baths.

Face Time, getting better at eye contact and not so cross eyed!

This morning after I fed him he curled up around my stomach and we both took a little nap.

LOVE HIM!

I had some fun messing around with pse today. I was trying to mimic the Nashville Instagram action, I think I accomplished it and I learned a few things!

Because My Husband is Awesome

Valentines Day this year had VERY low expectations (as it always should). I had given birth 10 days prior and we were getting used to our new life.
My mom was in town and we decided to venture off and go to the fancy mall about a half hour away. It was a fun trip, O slept the entire time, and I surprised Aaron with a dressy sweater from H&M even though we had decided no gifts.

He surprised me with an iPhone! and because of that I have been neglecting a real camera and just using my phone. Lets face it, it takes decent pictures when the light is right (since I don't want to blind him with the flash)

Thumbs up!

Arm up, as usual

His arms can go so limp sometimes
