Fun Friday

We had a fabulous Friday! It started off by going to get a closer look at our sweet baby Reid, who will be joining us in about 2 1/2 months! MiMi and NiNi were able to meet us for our 4D sono. He was weighing in at a little over 3 lbs. and was measuring a couple weeks ahead (almost 30 weeks). We noticed a lot of similarities in him and Landon. Can't wait to see for myself very soon!


After that, we headed to Kid's Kingdom in Rowlett. We have heard so much about this park but this was our first time to go. It is super fun and there is so much to do! The weather was perfect! I only wish I had more energy to play! Thankfully, Aaron and NiNi were there to chase Landon around. After some fun at the park, we enjoyed a yummy lunch at Dos Charros....one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants. After lunch, we came home for naps! :) In the afternoon, we continued to take advantage of the beautiful weather with some water sprinkler fun!
Landon was not interested in running through the sprinkler, but just standing in one spot. So, when he finally tried to move, he fell down and just sat there crying while the water hit him in the face....it was as if he forgot that he was able to move or walk away!
Enjoying a refreshing drink!

Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's Day started off by realizing I let my little boy get his first (mild) sunburn at an outdoor birthday party yesterday. Oops! It wasn't really hot outside and it was somewhat overcast so the need for sunscreen didn't enter my mind! I actually got a little burn myself. Sorry sweet baby! It was your first, but it won't be your last! Welcome to the Sunburn Only club, where our motto is You can't use a high enough SPF!
I know it's been said many times before, but being a mother is the absolute best job! I feel so blessed to be able to do it full-time and wouldn't trade it for any 6-figure job out there (not that I've had any offers). How could I not love being with this sweet little face 24/7?
These are my Mother's Day flowers! I found it rather appropriate that the bib and Gerber snacks ended up in the picture! :)
Today, as I reflect on my role as a mother, I also want to acknowledge my own mother who has taught me well! I'm so blessed to have her not only as my mom, but also my friend. I'm also thankful for my wonderful mother-in-law, Melinda (or MiMi), who I appreciate so much. Not only are they amazing women and mothers, but they're the 2 best grandmas any kid could ask for!

On the Slide

Yesterday we got video of Landon sliding down the slide on his own...and in his own way! :) Landon has become so proud of himself lately and feels the need to give himself a hand when he knows he's done something cute! Please ignore the part where Aaron accidentally hits Landon's head on the playset. All of us good parents do that once in a while. In fact, one time Aaron and I both hit Landon's head in the same spot and on the same day trying to get him into his car seat. Hopefully, he's still too little to remember! :)

Paisley Update: Except for some major bruising from all the poking and proding, Paisley is home and doing much better. We hope that with a strict diet we can avoid having to deal with this a 3rd time! Landon was so excited to have her back that when we came home and I put her little travel bag down, he sat on the floor next to her and tried to unzip it to let her out!

The Paisley Blues

Our little princess, Paisley, is sick and in the hospital. Aaron and I noticed she had a bloody elimination (for lack of better words) last night. I actually took pictures of this, but lucky for you they were only to show the doctor....not to post. :) After an exam and blood tests it was determined that she was coming down with pancreatitis. She was also dehydrated. She actually had this same health issue about 2 years ago. Apparently if a dog gets it once, they have a higher chance of it returning. She will stay at the vet's for a couple of days getting IV fluids and meds. We're looking forward to her getting better and coming home soon. I know Landon will be waiting!
She was nice and calm until we went to visit her...then she got really hyper and tried to bite off her IV. Can you imagine putting an IV in that little toothpick leg of hers? Poor Baby!

Just One of the Guys

Put on your new manly shoes....Baby's 1st pair of Nike's
Check the gas in the mower
Mow the lawn....or the sidewalk
Throw a tantrum every now and then to remind mom that you're still her little boy!
Take out the trash
Check the tire pressure
Go for a ride in your sports car with the top down.
After you have finished your manly chores, end your guy time with a sippy cup of juice and a good nap! :~)
