Steppin' Out on 09.25.11

 First steppin' out since baby!  please excuse the camera phone...

dress: hand-me-down from K.P.

Tank: threadcase, Necklace: gift from T.J.

shoes: Steve Madden

to church in McFarland.

So it wasn't so much a steppin' out kind of day, but it was our first 'ROAD TRIP' with the little one.  we left at night time-he slept the whole way there!  We arrived in McFarland late and spent some time with Grandma & Grandpa Wenger.  The church family got to meet baby Joel's baby! we had some great family time looking at old pictures, eating cookies & of course, getting starbucks!

Little mister forgot what a nap was while we were gone, so he was a grumpy-mcgrumperston at night, but we survived & we remembered to pack almost everything (just left behind my make-up & body pillow...wah wah!) it was a great weekend & a perfect first getaway with baby.



check out all the other pretty ladies:

From this day forward,

Aiden: 11 weeks

11 weeks.  
rolls over regularly.  squeezing into size NB-3 Month onesies. scrawny in 3-6 month outfits. totally hipster in his cardigan sweaters. totally karate kid in his Gi pants & kimono onesies. most definitely the ladies man in his collared onesies & sweater vests.  super amazeballs -yes, i like Giulana & Bill-it's what i have DVR'd for my 3:30 AM feedings!- with his hairdo. (See picture below)

completely bald in the front-friar style and completely bald on the back of the head!

p.s. gotta love that t 'adult' outfits suddenly  become adorable when in onesie form

likes his bumbo for up to 10 minutes (still is a little small for it).  
loves football. hates commercials.
likes to sit on your lap facing out.  
hates the ring sling (i'm so upset about this! but maybe when he is older).  still loves the sleepy wrap.


loves to breastfeed (yup, that's right we have officially started to breastfeed 98% of the time!-he gets an IV with daddy & yaya so mommy can have a nap or break here and there).  

hates to be 'alone'- if he can't see me (someone), he cries. (this includes in the car).  
loves to be held & cuddled.
hates poopy diapers/changes.   
loves shower/bath time with daddy.
likes/dislikes drying off/lotioning up/PJ time with mama.  
loves to eat when the adults eat. (i swear, it's like he smells our food and thinks to himself, Yes, time to eat!).

loves cloth inserts (if you know where i can buy some pre-folds or G-cloths for cheap please lemme know!-we are sizing up and need more!)

just watching Servite beat La Habra HS

From this day forward,
Mac-momasita

26.

this is your life.

you are 26.  you are officially a wife & mother. your littler mister is 3 months old. you have a hard time thinking/talking about anything that isn't baby related (but you TRY).  you buy clothes that are 'breastfeeding friendly'. you now have a new outlook on bodily leakage (gross, but true). your best friend is no longer that little black & white furball. 

you find yourself staring at this little man & you feel heart-tingles.

you are sleep deprived. sometimes you feel fun-deprived, but most of the time you feel lucky. you crave shower time.  you crave venti iced-coffees, but you order tall decaf, iced coffees.  you try to remember to write down that story/poem idea you had in the shower.  you try to write that story/poem when you get a free minute- you won't find these minutes often, but you TRY.

you feel almost 'normal'.

you go out for your birthday. you have a wonderful, like old times night out.  you want to stay out longer.  you go home at 10:30.  you feel exhausted.  the next day makes you feel old. 

"you aren't old, you are 26," you say to yourself the next morning. "you still have four years til thirty."

you have nightmares about turning 30, not because you will be thirty, but because your son will be four.

he already has chest hair! stop growing up, stop it right now!

From this day forward,
i am one year closer to 30.
