Hay

He's about to eat some hay here.. But I threw my phone down and grabbed it don't worry!! Haha

Pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today. Lots of fun!! He loved it. Here was the problem with taking pics. He would NOT look at me. It was his first time touching hay and seeing pumpkins so all the pics are of him looking to the side. Oh well. It was hard to sit him up and get a good one. I met a couple new moms since none of my friends went. It wasn't going to stop me from going. I'm glad I went except made me miss going as a family. Some of the moms brought their husbands and everyone at least brought a friend they knew .. NO FAIR!! I thought it was a MOMS outing and made me feel a little sad that I didn't have anyone. Oh well..it's what you get when you move from all your family and friends. Its really tough sometimes ..but I'll get through it.
Craig is on his way to college station to go to a Texas A&M MBA tailgate for the game tomorrow. I knew we would be alone tonight so I made sure we got to do something fun!

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Boo

We finally got his Halloween costume in the mail. Excited to put him in it. I hope it fits because he is growing so fast I can't keep up. This is a piece of candy Craig brought home from work. He got some teeth gummies for halloween from a secret person. Now he had to give two other people candy gifts without them knowing. Its a cute idea that they do at his work.
When we get home from Chicago he will start his new job in downtown Dallas. I will miss the people from the job he's doing now. And of course I will miss him being so close by.
I really hope he likes his New rotation. I can't believe we might be looking to buy a home soon. I can't wait!!

We are going to pumpkin patch tomorrow so I will take some cute pics!!

Love you all

Baby bjorn

Micah loves his baby Bjorn these days . In this pic he looks like he is taking the picture. He loves to look out and see everyone and everything.

He has been sleeping through the night this week and I have been getting up before him in the mornings. I put him down at night when he's tired. I tried to do the same time every night but this seems to work better. He still goes to bed somewhere between 8-9 but I'm not forcing him to go to sleep.   I just wait till he's ready and when I put him down there's not even a peep (OK well sometimes there is). Whatever works..right? That's my theme and always will be.

98 degrees today... Yuck. I got to go to yoga this morning and out to lunch afterwards. We even stopped by Aldi and I picked up a couple things. I didn't even  realize it was that hot until I watched the news.

He is wearing some hand-me-down 9month onesies nowadays. Crazy. Where did my baby go?

Ok Craig is turning the big 3-0 on Monday the 13th. He doesn't like it when I bring it up. He feels old. Haha. What do you get a man for his 30th..we don't really do presents but it seems like I should do something.

If any of you think of something you can comment on here (don't worry Craig doesn't read this) haha

Love you all

Cooler

It's getting a bit cooler these days which is such a nice change. It was in the low 80's this weekend and was amazing. Looking back I was so excited for when M was a little older so we could do things as a family but I guess I forgot one BIG factor: Football. It's football season as many of you know and it's not just watching the BEARS but also college football (Aggies). Saturday is college football and Sunday's are NFL. What to do?? I know this is Craig's favorite time of year and is really into watching all the games.... but sad for me. 

We did get to go for a few walks around the park which was really nice. These pics are of Micah in his little pilot zip up. So CUTE!!

This Saturday night we got to have Ashley and Cory over for dinner and made the fish Craig and Cory caught when they went fishing awhile back. It was really a lot of fun. I made my mac N cheese and bought some pies (pumpkin). We got to play "The game of Things" and we laughed and laughed at some of the "things" we wrote. It's definitely a fun game, and was so nice to laugh with friends.

Micah didn't go to sleep till late that night since we were laughing and being loud.

He is starting to have fun in the saucer that my friend is letting me borrow. He can barley touch the bottom with his feet. He still is not enjoying being on his stomach. Tummy time is still a challenge. Doctor said he will start moving around the crib.. but still waiting for that as well.

Friday we are going to try and go to the pumpkin patch with friends from the MOMS group. I hope we will have good weather. 

We booked our tickets today for home. Leaving November 1st and coming back November 9th. I'm really excited but trying to think if I have enough warm clothes for M. It's already in the 40's in Chicago... yikes!! He hasn't gotten sick and i'm hoping the cold weather doesn't get to him while we are there@!

Love you all

Little friends

These are Micah's little friends. Charlie is the oldest and Caleb is two months older than Micah. Right now Micah is the youngest but soon we will have another little boy in December born in our lifegroup. Aren't they all so cute? These pics were taken at Micah's Sprinkle. 

 This picture is after his bath. He just loves taking baths and splashing with his feet. I am not sure about taking bath time photos just yet. I really don't have time to even lift my hands off of him before he starts to move around in the little tub.

Today we go to go to the park and walk with Lobelia and Charlie. It was supposed to be a time to get together with all the moms from our MOMS group, however only Lo and I showed up. I never thought it would be so hard to make connections until becoming a mom and realizing more people "hang out" online and on social media because it's too hard to get together. It's kind of sad. I guess my social life is a priority to me since that's all I have now. I need to be social. It's ingrained in my genes.    Hopefully it will get easier to all hang out together. But I'm sure having more kids makes it pretty tough. 

I hear the little man waking up from his nap. Love you all!!

Feetsies

His new thing is grabbing his feet. He is so cute when he does it. Every time I put him down he grabs his foot. PROGRESS. Today we went for a walk and I put him in the Baby Bjorn facing outward. He just loves it. He loves looking at everything and soaking it all in. I'm ready for some cooler weather though. The 85 degrees didn't feel too good. It got up to 93 today.. yikes. 

I had to drop off Lotte after our walk to the groomer. She needed a cut badly. Now she is looking pretty darn cute. When they called to let me know she was done they left a message and said "Your baby is all done." It caught me off guard at first. Then I thought to the time when she was my one and only baby. Now I consider her a big SIS and she is doing a good job at her new role. She is very protective. Oh yes and I didn't get to take a pic but when lotte got tired today during our walk I put her in the storage compartment underneath the stroller and she FIT!! IT was so funny and cute. The girls I was with were laughing. 

Yes.. and I'm starting this new "health" kick (I guess you could call it that). I bought Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to start using internally and externally. I know that sounds weird. At women's bible study the other night they had brought it up and how it was good to drink and kills bacteria that causes cancer. When I got home I looked it up and WOW .. it does way more than that. It supposed to help so many other problems including but not limited too: body aches, nausea, high cholesterol, weight loss, helps you fall asleep, colds, coughs. Seriously YOU should google it and find out what it could help you with. Might as well try it. It's all natural so at least your not putting a drug in your body.

Hope you all are having an awesome week!!

Love you
