Teeth

Since Michael has 6 teeth, I figured we should start brushing his teeth! He kept on watching us brush our teeth and even would open his mouth- meaning my turn! So during our weekly target run we picked up a Winnie the pooh toothbrush and some baby toothpaste! He LOVES brushing his teeth & we are starting good habits! YAY

the big D

An update on the big 'D', the diet. I'm down another 5lb, which is a total of 15lb. I've cheated a few times but nothing crazy! Still working out 2x per week, I need to somehow increase that- maybe in my sleep? I dunno know, haha!
Some people are commenting on my weight loss and others not, its weird. Sometimes I see it, other times I dont!
Until next week

Moms night out

Last night I attended a moms night out with my stroller strides class. It was at a sneaker store? We went in and got fitted for sneakers, bras, and there was a nutritionist on hand as well as a chiropractor. Wine and cheese too! I have never been properly fitted for sneakers, it was an experience. I probably tried on 6 or 7 different sneakers, had someone watch me walk/run around. I finally picked the best pair for myself and got 15% off, yippee. Enjoyed some nice coversation and was in bed by 10! Sounds like a good night to me!

mama got some new kicks!

party planning

I've started planning the event known as Michael's 1st birthday! I've decided on a truck theme as he is obsessed with trucks. I'm trying not to go overboard but thats easier said than done. I'm thinking about this party alot and have many ideas running threw my head, I dont want to give all the details away but if I can pull it off it should be amazing (to us at least). I picked out the invites on etsy and plan on printing them via vistaprint (I got a great deal on livingsocial, spend $10 get $50 worth of product). I'm inviting 50+ people and plan on hosting in our yard. The children (around 10 attending) will be playing in kiddy pools, sand box and maybe a sprinkler.

I need to get our yard in order- we were sopost to have trees removed this week but that got cancelled due to the weather, or maybe them over booking themselves. Whatever. I need to get some grass seed down but dont want to do that until the trees are gone, as they will damage the yard when coming down. My veggie garden is looking like a wild field.... Ahhhh. Fingers crossed for some decent weather soon! We have a party to plan.

Happy birthday

Last weekend was my 29th birthday (how'd that happen)! I woke up to flowers and cards from my guys. My gift from my husband was going to the casino for the day and some gambling money! Michael got me a gift card to the kidsplace- the shop where we made a platter last month. I'm very excited for this gc because I broke our platter as soon as I walked into the house...dumbass, silly mommy! Any who, the casino was a blast and a few friends were able to join us for the day!

crappy cell pic, but its a pic!

playing catch up

Good god have we been busy. Its a good busy, but still busy. So I'm going to play alittle blog catch up.
Our dear friends got married on 5/7, I did a reading and M walked 1/2 down the aisle! After the wedding we dropped the baby at home with my mom and my gram and spent our 1st night away! It was alittle stressful and I might have gotten 34 phone calls from 4pm-7:30pm but thats okay. It worked out and my baby was in 1 piece the next day!




The following day was mothers day. Make that my 1st Mothers day!! We went to the swan boats in Boston common. Michael loved it as did I. We didnt get any great pics, so I'm bummed :(  That just means we will have to return for more pics!

Babies 1st Mothers day 5/8/11

Fast forward to Tuesday 5/10 and we had a minor surgery. Michael had ear tubes put in. It wasnt as bad as I imagined it would be, thankfully. A quick rundown, we had to be at the hospital for 6:30am, surgery was at 7:30am. M wasnt allowed to eat or drink after midnight and did great with that! He put on a gown and waited his turn, I put on a gown aswell because I wanted to be in the room when he went to sleep. I walked him back, it took about 30seconds and he was out like a light. About 5 min later it was over! To be honest I didnt have too much time to freak out. When he woke up we were able to go into the recovery room and he started SCREAMING. He was pissed. I think part was being starving, part was minor pain and most of all the anestecia. We were home by 8:10am. I gave him some tylenol and he was good to go. He is recovering well and tonight is his his 1st post op tub, fingers crossed he doesnt mind the cool orange ear plugs I bought him!

busy busy

Its been awhile, but I've been a busy lady! May is here and it started off with a bang. May has always been a crazy month for us, with birthdays and mothers day. This May we are adding my 1st mothers day and ear tubes and a wedding!

Michael is officially walking alone threw the house and its soo cute. We have had a few bumps & bruises along the way but hes getting better by the hour! We have 6 teeth now, 4 on the bottom and 2 on the top. The 5th one came in and we didn't realize it until it was threw the surface-oops! He is wearing size 12-18 month clothing and eating everything in sight. He has starting biting us, even the dog (thank god the dog just cried and ran away). M isnt a fan of the word no either. His most favorite place to nap is on me and its becoming a problem. He goes to sleep in his crib and wakes up after 30 min EVERYDAY, I pick him up and he will go back to sleep ON ME for another 1.5hrs. I'm trying today to make him nap in his crib the whole 2hrs...lets see how this goes. I'm watching the monitor (had to mute it) and hes up, screaming at me...
All this and hes not even 10 months yet!
