Half a year old!

I made a little slideshow to "celebrate" Kota being 6 months old yesterday (Tuesday). And yes, I know I spelled 'month' wrong at the end, but thats okay. And turn your speakers on, there is music too! I had a dream, while I was pregnant, and it was like a home movie looking dream. Of me holding a baby (couldn't see his face) and of our little family. And this song was playing in my dream. So I thought it would only be fitting to use it now! :) Enjoy!

All I want for Christmas...

Kota had his 6 month checkup today. My suspicions were confirmed: he has two teeth coming in the (bottom) front. Poor teething baby! He's had trouble sleeping and has just been an all around crabby patty. :-/ His pedi said they'd probably break through before Christmas! Someone, please, stop this child from growing up. :( I don't want him to get teefers. I love his toothless smile! And he just wont seem like a baby any more!!! :( "Little kids" have teeth, not "babies". NOT BABIES!!!! waaaaaaaahhhh!!! :(

Anyway.

He got his vaccines again. Two shots and the oral vaccine stuff. Then I decided to get him his flu shot. He didn't even cry at first. He got the first two shots and just kind of got this confused look on his face. Then he got the third one and his face scrunched up and he opened his mouth. Before he could let out a cry I threw the pacifier in there lol! I picked him up and he was okay within a few seconds. My little trooper. ♥

Today I went on a walk with the baby. He had his Pooh Bear in the stroller with him and he was "talking" to him the whole way! I decided to give jogging a try. I learned that mommy doesn't jog. Back in high school I ran on the track a lot (for fun, not on the team). That was back when I had more of an "athletic" figure to me. Now I have a "mommy" figure, and this mommy doesn't jog. I'd like to do this walking thing every day to get back in shape, but the Florida weather has been really shitty lately. Rainy all the time, and cold as hell (wait, that doesn't even make sense lol).

We got the tile finished in the kitchen. I'll post pics tomorrow or something. It's still a mess in there.

Thankful to be a mommy!

Why i'm thankful to be a Mommy...


♥ I can work at home! Yeah, the pay kind of sucks. But the benefits are totally worth it!


♥ Feeling the love for your baby is like no other feeling in the world! It's a natural high!


♥ I get to see his smiling face every morning! I love walking into his room and seeing his big goofy grin staring up at me. I'm as happy to see him as he is to see me. :-D

♥ He makes me a better person. That sounds cheesy, I know, but it's true. I don't think i'd be where i'm at now if he weren't here!!

♥ He makes every day worth living. He's the reason I get up every morning. Every day is a new adventure to him, and it's a good reminder to look at life the same way!

♥ He's teaching me how to be a kid again. I get to be silly and make up silly songs and sing and dance. All to make him smile and laugh!



For all you other mommies, why are YOU thankful to be a mommy? :)

Should I go there?

Ok, so i'm having major bloggers block. I wrote a new post, but i'm kind of iffy about posting it. I have it saved as a draft.
It's about my dating history. It even includes pics of the guys. I'm kind of iffy on posting it because, well.... i'm just not sure. It's kind of putting everything out there. I know they'll probably never read it, but i'm not worried if they do. It's a really random blog, and i'm not sure how many people would be interested.
Some of it is funny, some not so much. I just think it's something a lot of people could relate to.

Soooooo gimmie a few hours to think about it.

Lots of pics!!

Man, did we have a busy weekend!! Thanksgiving was busy, and it was all down hill from there! We avoided going out on black Friday though. Except to Chic-Fil-A. The one down the road from us has these amazing Christmas Lights every year. So me, Mason, baby and my parents took the little guy to go see some awesome lights!



Me and baby in the parking lot with the Chic-Fil-A behind us!




Daddy and baby

We went in and I got one of the holiday milkshakes: peppermint and chocolate chip! It was soooooo good!!! :-D One of the employees was giving all of the little kids balloons and he asked if we wanted one for baby. Mason was like "Nah, what the heck is he going to do with a balloon?" but I said "Hellz yes we'll take one!!". So Kota got his first balloon! :) He kept staring at it bob around. I tied it to his little wrist.




Saturday we drove out to Spring Hill again to spend the weekend. We helped Mason's aunts put up their holiday decorations and lights. They cooked us some delicious Italian sausage (omg soooo good!!!).
When we got home Sunday, Mason put up some lights outside and and put up the Christmas tree. I got to give him the surprise ornimate, yay! It's next to one of our other custom ornamates we had made a few years ago. :)



And over the weekend we made a very special discovery! Kota is getting a tooth!!! Which would explain his crabbyness and extream dooling! Awww! I'm going to miss his toothless smile!

Thanksgiving pics!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I hope everyone else did too! :-D
Kota had his first taste of real pumpkin pie and whipped cream! He loved it!

Pie face!

Me and baby!

We went out to lunch with my family for Thanksgiving. Kota got to sit in a resturant highchair for the first time!




My toy, mine!!


Then we went to Spring Hill to visit Mason's family. There we soooo many people at his aunt's house! Kota loved all the attention he was getting. He was worn out when we got home!


Daddy, grandma, greatgrandma and baby!



Yes, we are!!

Of course i'm also thankful for family, friends and my hubby. But I feel espeically blessed this year to have my adorable little Dakota here with us!

You will now be graced with his uber cuteness!!!

My little collector!


Having a "blah" kind of day!

Don't be fooled little guy, mommy is always watching!!!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! I'll be gone alllllll day tomorrow, stuffing my face!
