Can you see me NOW?

I wasn't tired. I tried to tell them. But no one would listen. Mommy and daddy put me in my crib, kissed me and told me good night. I didn't cry. I wasn't upset. I just wanted to play and for them to see me. So, I found that camera they keep to spy on me! They think they are so smart being able to look at me when I can't see them! I sure showed them when I took that camera down.

They thought it was funny. The first two times. But I had to push my limits! That's when dad came in and took that camera and put it on the WALL! Can you believe that! Mommy took these pictures. She got the idea from my friend Cameron's mommy. But Cameron is just sleeping in her pictures. What fun would that be?

Celebrating Baby Asher!

My dear sweet friend Renee is having a baby boy in June. Renee and I have been friends since college and I am super excited for her. Talk about one prepared mother, Renee has been bargain hunting and getting her nursery ready for weeks. Today I attended a baby shower for little Asher at Coquette in Raleigh. It was SO good to see Renee and lots of other friends from college (we did miss you Anne and Erin!).

Renee has done a lot of research about organic products and is also going to use cloth diapers. I am so proud of her! I am way too scared to even try and I think my husband might vote me out of the house. She got lots of cute stuff to add to her already well stocked nursery. Can't wait to meet Baby Asher!

The many faces of Moses

As for the sock thing? Well if he doesn't have an available pacifer this his is alternative. I find socks all over the house and the car and I am sure they have been left in a restaurant or two. He kind of looks like a puppy! I am hoping this is the beginning of teething of the top two teeth.

Hello Spring!

The weather has been such a yoyo, so I decided to sneak some of the springtime indoors. I cut some flowering branches for our mantle so that if that cool weather or the torrential rain sneaks up on us again, I can be reminded that we are oh so close to better weather! Moses and I enjoyed a nice walk Thursday in his jogging stroller to celebrate the return of the sunshine.


As far as what else is new, I went to Kidz Stuff Consignment sale at our church. Happy does not even begin to describe how I was when I left. I was the fourth person in line and it really wasn't overly crowded. The clothes were GREAT! I think I picked up every smocked outfit they had in his size! I was also able to get some polos and a few toys that I he loves already. I just wish I could have found an Easter outfit! I guess I will have to keep looking.


We were finally able to return to playgroup Friday after missing some time due to that croupy cold. Moses was happy to see his pals and so was I! Afterwards Laurie and Anna Grace went back to the sale with us. It was weird going through the little girl stuff with her.


Saturday was a busy one as well. I had to work Jr. Visitation Day at Meredith College. It is always a lot of fun to meet with the girls that are thinking of coming to Meredith. While I was there, Brett took Moses to visit Will and Katherine. Afterwards, we had a nice family lunch at Wildflour Pizza YUM! Later that afternoon we went to a couples baby shower for Brett's cousin Nina and her husband Leighton. Moses will soon have another playmate! Baby Bostic will be here in about three weeks. I just hope she can hold on until the shower I have planned for her 10 days before her due date. EEEK! P.S. See how great she looks!

Hello out there

Hey guys, it's Moses! I just wanted to let everyone know how much I love this standing thing. I can see all sorts of stuff! A few days ago, I figured out how to look at my doggie Riley. She has a whole back yard to play in! I can see it when I stand up and look out the back door. I have also learned how to hang on to my new play yard mommy and daddy got me. Mommy has even caught me trying to climb it. Daddy calls my play yard "baby jail" but I like it just fine for now. I have lots of toys in here and when mommy needs a few minutes to do something I can play just fine. I sometimes even talk to myself and hum a little tune. I do like it best when people climb in and play with me. I do wish could get to those cords and remotes and stuff. Maybe I will figure out how to get to them soon!

Seven Months Old!

Today the little man is seven months old! It has been such a great adventure, I just wish it would slow down. So many people are concerned with what he will do next, while I just want to enjoy what he is doing now. Here are somethings that he is doing and enjoying.

- He can get around well. Pushing himself up to a sitting position and pulling up to a standing position. He can also crawl very well.

- Lots of noises and a few babbles (usually when I feed him something he does not like). Sometimes it is like he is humming to himself when he is playing in his play yard.

- His favorite baby foods are applesauce, apples with bananas, and most fruits. He also seems to like peas and sweet potatoes. He really enjoys the breakfast blends (mostly fruit with granola or cereal mixed in.

- His favorite song is the Wheels on the Bus. We also have that book which of course he likes.

- He likes watching Sesame Street with daddy!

- When we go to Target he is sitting in the cart with no baby carrier.

- Usually does well in restaurants when he is in a high chair.

- Loves to "flip" off my lap. (see earlier post)

- We are working on "hand to mouth coordination." Putting the Gerber puffs in his mouth. He has it down with a pacifier.

- Starting to reach to who he wants to go to or when he wants to be picked up.

So far so good! We are unbelievably blessed to have such a smart, sweet, healthy baby boy. Can you believe how much he has grown?!

Babbles and stands

After having the croup/a bad cold, Moses is back in action. As soon as he started feeling better (really even before), he started pulling into a standing poistion. First he used my knee but quickly figured out the couch works much better. So, no more mobile in the crib and this weekend we will probably lower it just in case. He is also really good at pushing to a sitting position from his belly and is really crawling not just scooting.
By far, my favorite new thing is the new babbles. Yesterday I was driving home and from the back seat I heard "mamammama." I thought I was going to have to pull over and kiss him. I thought, he won't do that again for days or weeks! He did a little bit of mmamamas and bababas when Brett got home but not nearly as clear as earlier. This morning I was talking to my mom and out of no where I got a good mamamamammama. His Mimi was SO excited to hear that! He kept it up for our cousin Emily and most of this afternoon when Brett got home. What a great sound!
