Monday Funday - NOT!

It's Monday - that pretty much sums up how my day is going.  I realized this morning that I didnt buy anything to take to work for lunch this week so... I'm lunch-less and I refuse to buy anything in the caf because of their outrageous prices. 
I got all ambitious this weekend thinking that I can be the next cool WAHM and made AI2 diapers so I went out and bought $200 worth of fabric/fleece/snaps/elastic ect - came home, sewed my first diaper and it was a flop...but hopefully I'll get better with practice... I better get better with practice!

Boo is growing up so fast!  Seems like I cant look away for a second without missing something.  She's such a sweet little girl - funny and always happy!  I never knew I could survive with my heart outside of my body - that's how much I love my Boo! 

This is my most recent favorite picture - she's adorable!

Monday Love!

It's been a while!

Wow - I just started my blog and I'm already slacking off - go me!  Let's go with bullet points to sum things up so I dont ramble on.... here goes!

- Boo got a new Radio Flyer wagon from Daddy!  It was a surprise - look at my chunky munchkin sitting up like a big girl in her new wagon!  We cant wait for the nice weather to take her outside in it!

- Boo is almost 6 months old!!!!!  We have her 6 month Dr appointment today, I cant wait to see how much my chunker weighs!  She's such a good eater!  Last time she was in the 95th percentile so we'll see!

- Work is work... I'd much rather be home - but if I stayed home, Boo wouldnt be able to have such nice things like her red wagon!!!

- Spring is finally here (although it may not feel like it).  We had one nice day and I was able to take Boo outside for the first time ever - other than to and from the house/store to the car.  Here's a pic!



I love how the sun is giving her a halo - she's my angel!

- We had Boo's 6 month pictures done last week - I love the way they came out!  As a backdrop, I brought my quilt that my Grandmother made for me - since Boo is names after my Grandmother, Olivia, I thought it would be nice to have the quilt in the pictures and it worked really really well!  My Grandmother never got to meet Boo - but I'm sure she had a say in picking out the right baby for me!  Boo is a Godsend!  She's such a great baby, always happy & smiling!  She's truley an angel!

- Hubby and I have the day off tomorrow together which is rare!  We are going to spend the day as a family - would have gone and done something nice outside if RI would realize that it's spring and no longer winter but, as the good old Northeast would have it, it's going to snow on April 5th so we'll be inside cuddling with Boo all day!

-6 months is a lifetime of love in our little family!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

We aren't Irish, but we can still celebrate.  I'm wearing my only green shirt to work today which probably doesnt matter since I wont be leaving my office except for the occasional trip to the bathroom....but, it's the thought that counts right?

Yesterday the weather was horrible!  Rainy and chilly - the kind of weather that makes you want your jammies, a movie and your bed!  But, life goes on, so I worked and then Boo and I went to Joann Fabrics Store.  I wanted to try to make a fabric flower headband for Boo so I got a bunch of supplies and went to work.  They were super simple and fun to make.  I'm thinking about starting a little WAHM business with random things I make.....  (Like I need more to do!)  But I think it would be fun.

I *love* the way they came out... 

The yellow one is for us and the pink one I'm sending to a friend as a surprise for her daughter.  I hope she loves it!

In the next week I'm going to take Boo for her 6 month pictures!  I cant wait.  That's why I made the yellow flower headband.  I'm going to bring in the quilt that my Grandmother made for me before she passed away and use that as a backdrop for the photo shoot!  It's got really pretty yellows & oranges in it so this flower is perfect!  Boo is named after my Grandmother so I love the idea of including the quilt in the pictures.  It's a great way to tie the two of them together!

Flowers & Clovers!

Being a "follower" can be a good thing!

I'm excited that I now have 3 followers on my blog!  YAY!  Thanks ladies - I hope you enjoy what I write!

This past weekend was nice - Hubby, Boo and I spent it together which was a nice change since Hubby and I dont see each other for more than an hour a day all week.  Saturday Hubby did the grocery shopping and then we went for a nice ride since the weather was finally bearable!  Sunday we hung around the house, played with Boo and went to dinner with my parents.  All in all a great weekend - other than daylight savings time which has really messed with my sleep schedule.

Boo typically sleeps til 9am every day - Sunday, she was up bright and early at 6am!  (which was really 5am since we lost an hour... Hubby was super sweet though and he let me get back in bed while he got up with her - she only stayed up about 30 minutes and then he got to come back to bed. 

At dinner yesterday I got a bit frustrated - we were at a pretty nice restaurant - Boo needed a diaper change so I grab my stuff and Boo and head to the bathroom - no changing table... GREAT!  So, I ask a waitress if they have one - just to be sure I didnt miss something, she says no.  So, the only option I had was to change her on a bench in the front of the restaurant since changing her in the actual part where other people were eating would be gross - but, as I'm changing her I can hear the waitresses talking crap behind the wall about the "woman changing her baby on the bench" - nice.  Totally pissed me off.  What was I supposed to do go to my car?  I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who has come to their restaurant with a baby needing a diaper change before so shouldnt they be more accomodating?  Ugh - that just really frustrated me. 

More bathroom talk - Friday, Hubby, Boo and I went to Target to grab some stuff and I had to go to the bathroom - I tell Hubby to watch Boo and I'll be right back - I walk over to the bathroom, walk in and look around thinking to myself..."hmm, self, this looks different since the last time"  Then I realize that there are urinals on the wall - NICE - after thinking about it for a second, I realize that I'm in the men's bathroom.... OMG - at this point I make a 360 and pretty much run out of the bathroom - Hubby is standing outside and proceeds to yell... "what are you doing in THERE?!?!?!?"  It was pretty funny!

Diaper changes and bathrooms...

Bath time with Boo!

Hubby and I bought Boo a new bath seat since she was quickly outgrowing her bath hammock.  This seat is *way* cool!  It comes with a couple of toys in the front so she can play and it's nice for her to actually be sitting in the water as opposed to me just wetting her... let's hope she isnt peeing in it though!

Here are some pics from her first bath in her new bath seat!

Look at all of her chubbies!!!!!  I could just eat her cuteness up! 

Bathtime and Chubbies!

Happy 5 Month Birthday!!!

5 months ago today I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Olivia!  I love her more than words can describe and I've enjoyed every second of the past 5 months spent with her!  She's my angel!  Here is a picture of us from this past weekend - isn't she a doll?

This picture is of us in our new Wrapsody Alice gauze wrap - we are a proud babywearing family!
