Mmmm Carrots

J's been ready for baby food for a while now but I waited until he turned 4 months. We had some carrots first. He loved them. I could not get them in his mouth fast enough! Actually, he screamed between each bite. So funny. He really wanted to feed himself which made a pretty big mess. He's probably going to spend the next few months with an orange stained face but at least he liked it. He did the same thing with sweet potatoes. I need a little practice on avoiding the mess... I've just been waiting to give him a bath after I feed him. 4 months. So crazy. He's growing up too fast...

Craftin' Outlaws

A couple weeks ago (despite my horrible back pain) we ventured to Columbus to go to the Craftin' Outlaw show. It was a pretty great weekend.

I got this super cute zipper pouch from Kuncklebaby, another pair of Knotty legs for the little one and I finally got him a teether necklace from Sprout Soup. And a few other things, too...

The husband got to spend some time in his favorite place...

And baby J had a nice time chillin' in his Tiny Toms and sweet shades. (wish I were as cool...)

Honestly, any weekend that we get out of town is great... this one may have been a little extra great, though...

Down for the count

This ' back sprain' is kicking my butt! It's been over a week now and it still hurts so stinkin bad! Even more annoying considering I've been to the chiropractor twice and got x-rays. Lame! At least I can walk (looking like an idiot) now... Sitting is another story. I'm so thankful for my amazing husband. I was concerned about him taking care of J and everything by himself but he seriously has been unbelievable. Back to the chiro tomorrow... And craftin' Outlaws Saturday! I can't wait.

Breakfast In Bed

...and lunch and dinner and I'm still in bed. I have to admit, it sounded like a pretty great idea until last night when I pulled a muscle in my lower back and realized I literally couldn't move without near unbearable pain. Seriously... I didn't cry when I was giving birth but I sure did cry last night! Aside from getting up once to use the bathroom - I'm feeling a little better today thanks to my wonderful husband and some good drugs. I can at least lay on my side now. Hope I can walk tomorrow. Staying in bed all day does have one perk... Lots of cuddling!

Slacker!

I am totally slacking in the blog department! Man! Well, here's what's been on my mind lately...

1. I am getting old. I recently celebrated a birthday. (by recently I mean a month ago...) So, naturally...

New hair... (and no make-up, don't mind the photo)

Mom jeans. Yeah...

Favorite bakery.

Carrot cupcake. Yum.

And a lot of other great stuff. Thanks, Hub.

2. This little man is growing WAY too fast for his momma's liking. Three months, already! There's something fun and new everyday. Which is one reason I'm so mad at myself for slacking with the blog!

3. A is officially a college student again and a stay at home dad and we are having a great time with it. We've actually had some time to do things together, like cook.

Friend green tomatoes? Yes, please!

So, there we go. Fall is here and I need to start blogging again.

What's in my (diaper) bag?

I've been searching for a vintage thermos, but haven't found one yet. I need something to keep water in. I can never seem to find a water bottle when I need one and the only reusable one I have is pink... So, the search continues...

I also want one of these beauties. Too girly for my handsome man? Maybe... plus I haven't been able to convince myself I want it '$25 bad'.

We're still here..

...we haven't gotten lost, honest. We've spent the last couple weeks staying with my great grandmother but tomorrow we're going home! I didn't expect to miss home so badly and I didn't realize I had so many little routine things through the day to miss. Tomorrow night I'll be sleeping in my own bed.
