Letters to Aiden John

Dear Baby A,

Today you are 6 months old. 

You are grabbing at my face and glasses as we speak (You just stuck your finger in my nose), but you are awesome.  You have grown into such a little stud.  On the day you were born, you stayed awake for a couple of hours to meet your family.  You had the look of concentration going on-scrunched forehead & a stare that was mesmerizing to all of us 'grown ups'.  I catch you making this same face now, but when you are discovering the world through play.

I love watching you feel your toys or the cat's tail or your daddy's scruff.  You've been smiling for a few months now, but every time you flash that BIG, gummy grin, I can't help but smile right back at you! I think I'm in love with every face you make. The scrunch-y forehead is a favorite amongst your family and friends.  The contemplative "turtle" face.  The pooping face (with accompanying grunts). 

You've started doing this high pitched, short burst of a scream when you are upset, but not really upset.  We will get it on film soon so we can share it and have it to show to your wife one day!  I don't even want to think about you having a wife...SLOW DOWN. Be a baby for a LONG LONG time.

I love you so much my heart can barely stand it!

Happy half birthday Boobie!

Shopping day with Nana

This woman knows how to shop (even if it's just window shopping. I have so many memories of south coast plaza days with Nana- I think all of the Bowman grandkids do. I love that I can bring along Baby A on long days spent hanging out Nana. Having a kid is pretty cool. Days like today make me remember why. Family.

*please excuse the crazy effects, my phone was set to "random."

"make sure you get the scenary." -Nana

Disney has taken over South Coast Plaza too?

$1 Carousel Ride...We didn't have enough cash. LOL!

Papa & Little Mister

I breastfeed in public!

pure exhaustion after today.

Shnazzin' up the work clothes.

I'm not gonna lie, I was scared they were both going to fall into the fountain...but they didn't!

From this day forward,

Aiden:26 weeks

In 2 days my baby will be 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I will write a longer and more detailed post in a few days about Baby A's updates and accomplishments, but for now, enjoy some recent pics.

Project 365

I've decided to take on a small project for 2012.  

Photo(s) & word(s) everyday for one year.  It seems simple, but i tend to lose interest in projects.  I think it will be fun and maybe I can turn it into a scrapbook of memories. 

I'm using my tumblr to do it and a direct link to it can be found at the top right under the tab titled project 365. 

Have you ever done a project 365? 

From this day forward,

M.
