New Favourite

Took this on Saturday while at a friends engagement party....it's my new favourite

Baby Boy

Baby boy Jesse is 8 months today....ugh...he's already growing up too fast :(

Took a few photos today after our walk....let's just say he wasn't a big fan of the grass....lol.

Love you little man!

Me & My Little Man

For Mother's Day my only request was a few photos of Jesse and Me.

Since I'm usually behind the camera, I sadly don't have very many photos of us together.

It was quite the challenge to say the least.

Either my eyes were closed, Jesse wasn't looking. Or the photo was completely blurred cause Jesse wouldn't stay still.

And then a couple favourites I had to majorly Doctor up in Photoshop due to over exposure.

Here are my favourites

he, he, he......my son is seriously TOO CUTE

My favourite even though this was the only way I could "fix" it from the over exposure

Awwwww.....

I love you Lil' Man!!!

How was everyone's Mother's Day?

Future Girlfriend?

Hey there baby

You keep your hands to yourself!

Well maybe we can, just for a minute

 Ahhh....young love

What I've Learned....

Baby Jesse might only be 6 months old but he sure is a boy full of wisdom. Today's post is only a few of the many many things that I've learned from him....

...that daily hugs, kisses, and cuddles are like chicken soup for the soul

...that I should look at everything with a sense of wonder

...that you almost always get a positive response from smiling at strangers

...that everyday I can learn something new

...that if you just give it a minute, it really isn't as bad as you thought

...that once you've found your voice, use it

...that everyday I need a bit of play time

...that I shouldn't feel embarassed for showing genuine excitement when I see someone I love

...that when you think you're all alone, you're really not

...that sometimes you have to try something a second time before you like it

...that even small milestones are worth celebrating

...that I should cherish EVERY moment because time goes by too quickly

...that laughter really is the best medicine

...that babies have the BEST expressions

Monday Musings

It was a wonderful weekend.

Saturday we participated in Earth Hour

Sunday we ran a few errands, did some chores around the house and then had a delicious dinner of grilled chicken wings, rice pilaf & asapargus.

I was thinking about what to write about today and I realized I missed a CRUCIAL photo from the birthdays in review post....this one of Kristen! 

The co-worker who arranged the fesitivities made Kristen wear this pink crown and feather boa.

Totally suits him, ya think???  :)

Also we took a quick video of how rough Jesse is becoming as of late. There's no question that he's going to be a very rough and tumble boy.

Bumbo

Remember THIS POST about me being an uncool mommy?

Well it appears I have GREAT friends who read my blog.

A fellow mommy and friend read my blog post and said I have a Bumbo you can borrow.

Perfect!! I'll take it.

I'm so happy I was able to borrow it and try Jesse out in it.

See? He's smiling.

But in the world of Jesse he doesn't usually last more than 15-20 minutes in any given toy.

And given his size he won't fit too much longer in this.

I might add it to my wishlist for a future child, but for now this loaner is perfect!

Thanks Tonya!!

Oh and one more of him discovering his feet.

Family Day

Wow....how fast does time fly?

I had all these plans of doing a Valentines giveaway on the blog and then before I knew it, Valentines had come and gone and no contest.....boo.

So tomorrow stay tuned for a giveaway....yay!

As for today?

Well today was family day.

Hubby had the day off work so we took Jesse for his first sleigh ride. Lets just say he didn't like it and cried a lot so I won't be posting those pictures.

Daddy ended up taking him out of the sleigh and walking with him.

He was a much happier camper then

Happy Family Day!
