5.20.14

It feels like so much has happened since my last post.  We survived going back to work and daycare, although I am fairly certain at least one of us has been sick with a cold, flu or both every day since then. Glad to see this warm weather, and hope it will sweep these germs away!

We had Booker's baptism the weekend before I returned to work.  It was nice to see all the family together, and kind of relax before having to return to the real world.  Booker did pretty good during the ceremony; I was nervous and it was hot...bad combination in my tan dress lol.  Erich was nice enough to point out how "hot" I looked.  Made me think of our wedding ceremony, and how I felt the same way.










We had a nice Easter weekend.  We dyed egg with my family and had a mini egg hunt with Harper and her cousins.  Then on Sunday the Easter Bunny came! He was so silly, he hid all the eggs we dyed in the living room.  Harper was very concerned by this (this is a tradition in my family growing up, and I never once thought it odd...). After checking out our loot, we headed to Crete to celebrate with Erich's family at the farm.  Always a nice time, lots of space to hide eggs, fly kites, and run around like crazy to work off the candy. 














 
Booker is growing like a weed.  We weighed him on Sunday for his 3 month birthday, and he was about 14 pounds! Makes me sad, he's growing just too fast.  He's starting to coo and smile more, and is trying his hardest to roll. And he's a thumb sucker! I know how adorable it is now, but man, I don't think breaking that habit will be as easy as taking away the pacifier...ah well, right now it's cute.  He is doing well at daycare; they do crafts once a week, so its funny to see his feet still stained with paint at night. He doesn't like to nap at daycare, which works for us I guess because then he sleeps well at night. Really, no complaints from this kiddo, he's easy!
 







 



For Mother's Day Erich treated Harper and me to pedicures (and my sister and I in turn treated my mom). It was the first time for Harper, and while she was leery at first, it was fun.  And we got cute toes out of it!





 
Harper also started a dance class last week.  I wasn't sure where to go, so we went with the Y. They had a beginners class for half hour on Saturday mornings.  I was really worried about it being a full class, and how Harper kind of shuts down in crowds.  I was surprised to find it was a class of 3 girls, all about the same age. Harper got into it right away, and I think that helped the other two find their groove lol.  Made me relieved for the good experience, and I think we have a dancer in the making!







 

We ended the weekend with Booker's first visit to church and then the Children's Zoo! He slept through both, but we found a way to enjoy ourselves anyway.  Harper loves this zoo, and I just fear the day when she outgrows it.  I love our many visits and memories to this place. And it never fails, she's always willing to take a picture with the Otter!

What the heck's a woombie?

So, today's post is dedicated to the freaky baby items I've found online (we are not expecting, but are expecting to be expecting sometime this year, so I wanted to check out the market on baby stuff). I'm not saying this stuff isn't useful, it may very well be the best item there is, but I think they're weird. And so, in no particular order... * Nosefrida Nasal Aspirator: it's a doctor invented and doctor recommended snot sucker. An electric snot sucker. With built in filters. My question is, who is changing said filters? Not me, thank you. Then again, with the manual ones I bet you have to empty them somehow. Eww. Also, this doesn't actually go into their nose, it sucks it all out from the base of the nostril--that sounds like fun. Oh, and did I mention the suction is coming from your mouth? * Zaky --the tag line? It's like leaving a part of you with your baby. Yeah, if you have big creepy muppet hands maybe. I think the picture says enough about t

September is here!

Well, it's practically here. Where did August go? Where did the summer weather go? I don't care, it's Fall weather here in Nebraska and I hope it's going to stay well into November. Ahh, September, it's my favorite month...and not just because it's my birthday month 29 on the 9th, it's kind of a golden birthday-9/9/09, so that means extra gifts, right? Right. We are very busy this month. This weekend is the first Husker game of the season, so my mom and I are getting out of dodge to visit my sister (I am displeased to learn that my brother in law is renting the game, I can't escape it!). We're going to a pirate festival, and a carnival, and to this awesome little kitchen store in downtown Independence. So excited for family fun. My nephew told me I can sleep in his bed, but only if I wear underwear...um, deal? Erich has many options that weekend, we have an engagement party in York, going to the game, watching the game...who knows how crazy he'll

Good Bye First Trimester!

I can't believe that I will be 12 weeks prego next week, it has gone by so fast. It's hellped that I haven't have any sickness, which I am very grateful for. I've kind of have the opposite; I am hungry but nothing sounds appetizing, so as a result I've lost weight. I got a nice little lecture from my dr last week, so I've been trying to eat more, and I think after this weekend, I have to have put on at least 10 pounds! Friday night we had Applebees where we polished off mozzarella sticks, I had a steak and potatoes and veggies, all so tasty! Then today we had Hu Hot for lunch, and just had McDonalds for dinner. I didn't say it was healthy, but it was definitely fattening! I seem to be getting my energy back, there for a while all I wanted to do was sleep. I could still sleep all day, but today I noticed I wanted to do some chores, so I guess that's an improvement. I've also had some lower back pain, which seems to be worse when I sit, which
