Home Sweet Home!
Miss A and I made it home yesterday evening! We traveled alone for the first time since she was a manageable person 🙂 She did pretty well…not perfect, but I wasn’t expecting perfection. Thankfully she was kicking the side of the plane by the window and not the woman’s seat in front of us! I consider that a victory!
We do miss our baby H though….a lot. Auntie S better send daily pictures…and come see me in 2 weeks when I’m in Florida for my 3rd time this summer!
The teaser….one for Mommy & one for Daddy….
We took some official “newborn” photos earlier today of my little man Baby H. I think I’ll be taking a few more before I leave, but these are 2 I got before he was starving & screaming (an hour before he was scheduled to be!)
I can’t wait to see what this boy is really made of! He just keeps on getting cuter…
He’s got those little infant smiles that warm your heart…he’s got cheeks to die for and I don’t think they’ll shrink anytime soon since his appetite is ahhhhh-mazing.
Baby H came home on Friday. Here is Florida they only keep you in the hospital 3 days after a c-section. That seems like such a short amount of time to me! I stayed for 5 days. Auntie S has had lots of help at home so I think she’s doing great….and I know that Baby H is getting just as much attention, if not more at home than in the hospital…and he sure looks cute in his new duds!
And on Friday, Baby H finally got to meet his Auntie A! This is her first time being an Auntie!!! Very exciting 🙂
Sending a big Happy Birthday to another boy we love!
We hope you have an amazing day & that all of your wishes come true!
Lots of love today & everyday.

This week has been all about this tiny little angel boy, but I’d just like to sa that my little girl has been such a trooper. She spent most of the time in the hospital & now she’s been at Auntie S’s house with a bunch of grown ups! We just can’t make ourselves leave this little boy, so with all this attention being poured onto our new cousin, I was expecting A to act out. Short of a few tantrums and some random acts of rebellion, I’m pretty shocked at how good she’s being.
First…she hid her diaper bag. While Grandma had the car. And she went and did this…(sorry future A, this is VERY embarrassing)
Anyone else’s kid refuse diapers, fully potty train for 2 weeks, then 100% refuse the potty and demand her diapers back???!!! Oh…right…then go into the hospital room closet and take care of her private business while telling you to “leave me alone”?????
As I mentioned, she had hidden her diaper bag…making me think I was a bad mom & forgot it in the hotel…which was NOT true. But we’re resourceful…and thankfully we have a brand new cousin who is a terrific sharer…
Note** Miss A wears a size 4 diaper. Normally. This is what a size 1 looks like on a size 4 tushie!
At this point I took A over to Grandpa & B’s hotel to spend a few hours getting some sun & sand…
The next time she was able to have some good old fashioned toddler fun was when our friend & H’s other big cousin EG came to play! A big thanks to Uncle P for buying & blowing up the awesome hippo pool for us!
And because this blog is focused on a handsome little man who has been home from the hospital for a few days now…and I can’t get enough of him…here’s 1 for today!
This little guy is seriously lucky! He’s got a zillion people who love him! And an Auntie that can’t stop taking pictures!!!
Cousin H is home now…resting comfortably with his family. We have a ton more pictures but I’ve been busy setting up the nursery and doing all the nesting that wasn’t done before he came home 🙂
Going to see the little munchkin now … see everyone later with more pictures!
Oh to have the life of a newborn…not the Mommy of a newborn, definitely not a Mommy who just had a C-Section, nope, I don’t envy that part…but my gorgeous nephew has been surrounded by family who loves him like crazy & friends who think he’s pretty amazing too! We also have been snuggling him, changing him, feeding him, and giving him tons of kisses. That part…I’d take!
A was in the hospital from 11am to 6:30pm…she made it all day without a nap, but once her tushie hit the carseat she was muttering “I…Soooo…Tired….” and then she was sleeping. She has been sleeping ever since. Straight through dinner at a loud restaurant. In her stroller. In her skirt, no shirt (she spilled water all over her shirt before we left the hospital), with her shoes, covered by her blankie. It is midnight. She’s still in the stroller. I should go to sleep! Instead I’ll put up some photos of Baby H’s 2nd day of life…
Great Grandma & her Great Grandson
This woman is inspiring…I can only hope to age with as much grace and beauty as she has. She’s witty and sweet and tells it like it is…a quality that I very much admire! It was really beautiful to see how this little boy made her face light up!
LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! I want to BITE him…
My mom is so cute with her first boy!
A giving HA his present…which she later stole back…my 2 year old apparently loves infant toys…
Holding her new cousin!
Is there anything sweeter?????
My beautiful sister & her son. It’s crazy she has a little baby of her own. I just know she’s going to be a great Mommy. She’s been doing such a great job in his first 2 days. Childbirth is tough and painful … she’ll agree that she’s not usually the best patient, but she’s been doing really well & we are so proud of her. We can’t wait to see them fall more and more in love every day.
I love my nephew…if you couldn’t tell…there are about 400 more pics I haven’t gotten to, but it is late & I’m going to bed…A will be up soon!
The start of Baby H’s life! How exciting! Lots of family were waiting…and waiting…and waiting!
Baby H…we are so happy to welcome you to our family. We love you more than all the sand at all the beaches!!!
We wish a life of happiness, health & all the best things for you…you are a very loved little boy! Our first! Get ready to be spoiled!
That’s right…the impossible has happened. A boy has infiltrated our girls club and he has taken the hearts of us all!
Meet my NEPHEW!!!! So cool…I’ve never had one of these before!!!!!
Mommy & Baby are doing great & Miss A is a delirious mess as a result of a terrible flight that got us in at 3:30am….4:30am bedtime for Miss A is less than ideal! Pictures of her holding her new cousin Baby H coming soon…
I can’t believe we have a boy! Although I knew it would come from Auntie S…she was always the one sister turning things upside down! Bring on the BLUE!
Two has been rough. I know it gets harder…but one day when A reads this blog to see what she was like when she was a baby, I’d like her to read how amazing and sweet and cuddly she was. Unfortunately (sorry future A) that is just simply not the case most of the time! We had a rough couple of days that almost broke Mommy last week. This week I am trying to do better as a Mom and keep up our discipline regimen!
We had a super hot day yesterday…so hot that T walked outside, laid down on the pavement & just stayed there suntanning. Our mexican dog loves the sun!
The sun was shining, the sprinklers were on, and A was playing…for 10 minutes! Just enough time to get wet and want to come back inside! My great friend lent me her camera while mine is in the final stages of being fixed…so I took this outdoor opportunity to get some “I’m 2” photos of my maniac! She was in a very silly mood today, which was welcomed with open arms by her Mommy!
I never want to forget this tiny tushie…
This is Miss A’s sassy face…she purses her lips and then tells you “mmmm NO”…it’s so much fun…NOT
And my most favorite part of 2 has been the over-use of the name Mommy….sung “Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy”, followed by a string of “I want” and then silence! Let the guessing games begin!!!!
Busy weekend ahead…we hope everyone has a good one!
xoxo
It is H O T hot out there today! What was supposed to be a beach day has turned into a sprinklers and cooling off in the A/C day! Well…that is A…Mommy is watching her in the sprinklers and cleaning the house! Oh the fun life of a SAHM.
Stay cool…Happy Thursday & welcome back Emily! We hope you are enjoying your new home!!!
