Sunday Funday [Easter]

We had another awesome Sunday...of course it was Easter. We didn't make it to church [shame on us] but I will say in our defense that Henry woke up late and I was not about to wake him up. But we did head to brunch with Ryan's family then over to my Grammie's house. All in all it was a really good day...nothing really beats family time!

Morning hair :)

Big boy holding his bottle.

Checking out his basket!

He loved the eggs filled with macaroni [for noise making, not eating :)]

The bubbles were a big hit too :)

Checking out his basket from Grandma.

Twins Game

This past weekend we decided to head to the Twins game...it is one of the first games in our brand new stadium [I will forever miss the Dome]. We had a great time and Henry did awesome- we actually had quite a few people say to us that they could never take their babies to the game and how well behaved he was. :)

Here are a few pictures from the day :)

Crying pictures are always cute!


Ryan & Henry checking everything out.

Enjoying the sun.

Wordless Wednesday

Mama??

So I am woken up this morning at 5:45am [my alarm is set for 6- boo Ryan!!] to Ryan shoving the baby monitor into my face saying, "Look at Henry". I look and my wee baby boy is sitting up in his crib just playing around trying to pull himself up to standing [which he has never done before- yay Henry!!]. Oh that is all cute and dandy but did I really need to be woken up for that?!?!

Well a few seconds later Ryan turned the sound on & I swear I hear the most joyous thing in the entire world. Henry is saying....::drum roll please::.... "mama mama mama"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it & I swear that is what I heard- Ryan even said he thinks that is what he was saying! He has been saying "dada" for quite some time now & I have been just dying for him to say "mama". I am, after all, the one who housed him for over 9 months and brought him into this world...is it too much to ask that his first word be "mama"?!?! [I'm not bitter at all...LOL]

So anyways Ryan goes and gets him from him crib and we snuggle in bed for a little bit. When we are both fully awake I was trying to get him to say it again but no such luck. Maybe tonight when I get home from work. :)

Sunday Funday [DIY Moby]

We had plans to head to Mall of America for a family fun day with Ryan's family- mini golfing, lunch & a bit of shopping. I knew I wanted to "wear" Henry but I am so sick of the Baby Bjorn killing my shoulders everytime I wear it, so I decided to make my own Moby wrap.

I bought 6ish yards of jersey knit.

Mine ended up being a fabric tube so I had to cut down each side. [23" wide & ending up with 2 wraps]



And there it is :) I followed the wrap instructions on mobywrap.com. This one was our favorite.

It felt MUCH better on my shoulders & I was actually able to golf a few holes while wearing him!!

Oh yeah & I decided to cut my own bangs yesterday morning too- I am still getting used to them but it is a much needed change!
