Sunday Funday

I bet you can just about guess what I am about to say...yup...we had another great Sunday Funday!



Henry started his day with some homemade peach pancakes- yummmmm!

Then we headed to the zoo for a couple hours. They opened the new polar bear exhibit- it was great!!

Then we headed to lunch in celebration of our niece's 8th birthday. As part of her gift I made her and her American Girl doll matching tutu's :) I didn't get a picture of her in it [yet] but here are the cutie tutu's.

I hope everyone had an awesome weekend & stay tuned for a start of many giveaways/reviews. I am hoping to post the first one tomorrow :)

Calling all followers...

Hey ladies [& maybe even some guys :)] I am looking to update my favorite blogs to the left and also my google reader so if you are following my blog...please leave a comment so I can go through and make the updates. I figure that would be easier than going through and clicking on all the small squares- haha. & if you aren't following us yet... you should totally start today! :)

Vintage Henry Thursday

This week's edition...1 month - 2 months! It's so weird...he looks like a totally different baby in each of these pictures.

Henry's First Haircut

I almost forgot to post these cutie pictures!!

Henry got his first haircut last Friday...we had gone back and forth about whether we should do it or not but finally bit the bullet and did it.

He sat like such a big boy- I think he knows that he is a really cute baby and hams it up as often as he can :)

& this pic just for fun...I love his face. "Mom, why do you keep taking all these pictures of me?!?"

Dads have it so easy.

I will preface this post...Ryan is an amazing father & is way more hands-on than a lot of dads I know. He changes all of Henry's poopy diapers, wakes up with him at night, loves playing with him...I could go on.

But I will say it again...I think dads have it easier. At least their minds have it easier :)

With that being said...my mind is ALWAYS thinking about and asking myself questions about Henry.

What is Henry going to have for breakfast? Is it balanced enough? Are his knees going to get sore from crawling if I don't put pants on him for daycare? How long is he going to nap today? Are those boogers coming out of his nose too green? Did I brush his top teeth enough this morning? What should I make him for dinner? Is he supposed to be eating this? When is his next dr appt? Did I forget to take him in for that blood test [yes to that one!]? Will his skin get too dry if we give him another bath tonight? Why are his ears always so waxy? Didn't I just clean them yesterday? Will he get too hot in these pj's? Does he like the feel of covers on his feet without socks?

You get the idea.

I am 99.9% sure Ryan has none of these thoughts. Is it because he doesn't care? Not at all. I think about all of it all the time...and he knows it. He knows I will take care of what needs to be done. I like the roles that we have but for just one day [maybe even 2] I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for my mind to be able to shut off all things Henry and just relax. Now I know I say this in one breath and the next there is no way I could leave all the decisions and such to Ryan...not because he couldn't handle it or doing it correctly but because it's my role. I'm his mom and it's my job to worry and question just about everything. But it sure would be nice to have a full 24 hours where my mind could wander to things other than the color of baby boogers...

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope everyone had/is having a wonderful Memorial Day!

We spent our day at a local park who apparently has a whole set up from the 1800's. They have various buildings [houses, barns, general stores, schools, etc.]. Everyone who works there was dressed in costume and played the part of their character. It was a lot of fun and we hope to go back before too long.

Sunday Funday

We started this Sunday off with a special GTG with one of my fellow GPMamas :) It was actually my first get together and we had so much fun. Her son Luke has the best hair ever & her and her husband were soooo nice. I hope we can get together again soon!

We spent the rest of the day at Canterbury...me and Henry stayed inside because it was so HOT out so we didn't get to see much of the actual racing but we had lots of fun :)
