Snippets April 9, 2009
Thanks to Corey and Colin I got my copy of Snippets : Mostly True Tales from the Lighter Side of Scrapbooking by Lain Ehmann today – yay! I haven’t had a chance to read any of it yet, but I think I might relax with it on Saturday. Or maybe I will sneak a peek now – Colin fell asleep while I started my searching on www.thebabywearer.com – and continues to sleep as I gave up on that and decided to a little blog post instead.
I know I need to have patience and practice my wraps, but man I am having trouble getting both Colin and I comfy in the wrap or the sling. I have only managed the sling once on my own. The picture below was when the girl who made me the sling put him in for me. I have gotten him in the wrap a few times, but only if he wants to sleep.
And since we all know how much I love Kal, I had to have a copy of Cargo & Woot Eat Beets for him too, lol.
When Colin was a newborn I read that you can read anything to them, not just storybooks. Since someone just woke up I will see what he thinks of Lain’s funny essays!
It’s Me Again April 2, 2009
I really miss my little blog. I just can’t seem to fit it in anymore. But I think about it. =)
So, here is what is up with me. I am getting used to beiong Colin’s mommy and just love it. He is such a wonderful, sweet little boy. I couldn’t say how many people compliment us on how darn cute he is – and I don’t think they are just saying it!
I have found a little time to read lately:
Your Baby Week By Week
Wife for Hire by Janet Evanovich
Baby Laughs by Jenny McCarthy
Breaking Dawn – I just started this yesterday – I should finish it in a year or so..
I ordered some books from Barnes & Noble the other day, since Corey and Colin gave me a gift card for Valentine’s day. I pre-ordered the new Diane Mott Davidson. I also picked up Snippets by Lain Ehmann (yay, scrapbooking!), and a bunch of Sandra Boynton books for Colin. They are so fun to read.
I’ve been taking lots of pictures and experimenting with our cameras. Of course 99.9% of these are of my son. I haven’t figured out how/where to print any of them, but I keep trying.
Now that the weather is finally warming up I have been getting outside and walking – just a bit but it feels great! Corey and I took Colin to the park for the first time on Saturday. it was a day I have been dreaming about for years and it was every bit as wonderful as I imagined. We even went back toay after work!
Since I can watch movies without having to put the baby down I haven’t closed my netflix account just yet. I thought I would, but so far I am enjoying a few movies still.
Twilight
Daddy Day Care
I forget the others, ha ha.
I’ve tried a little bit of digital scrapbooking. Ali Edwards has some wonderful things available from Designer Digitals. I bought a bunch when they had a sale last Feb. I have been working on populating a page a day calendar with pictures of Colin. I have aspirations of doing a little paper scrapping – we’ll see if I manage it. I still have to make my little album for Robbie. A few weeks ago I did another one of Colin’s ultrasound pictures – I can’t believe how many there are!
We try to spend as much time with Corey’s parents, his sister, her fiance and their 7 puppies as we can. The puppies are adorable, but there are so many of them! Yikes.
There are babies everywhere! I am so happy for all of my friends and family who are so blessed right now. It seems like every week I am getting more news – and most of these babies are boys, ha ha. Colin will have lots of little friends. Tomorrow her gets to meet Tommy for the first time – we can’t wait. I feel a special connection to that little guy because his momma had to work so hard to get him here. Kim has been such a huge support to me over the last few years – all I can say is thank God for good friends.
I do have wonderful friends – everyone has been so supportive. Thanks to each and everyone of you!
And now the important stuff…
