Summer Days

Lincoln and I have been busy during these summer days!  We have been going to the park, the bounce place (once b/c it was pure craziness), the local aquatic center, the mall, and playing outside in the yard.  I have failed to take any pictures of those events because chasing a toddler keeps me 100% busy and I have no time to be taking pictures.  I did shoot these pictures the other day while lounging around our house in our PJ's.



By far his favorite book right now...From Head to Toe by Eric Carle



I think he is trying to do the itsy-bitsy spider or call the hogs...it all looks the same!

He loves for me to put a cape on him so he can run around like a super-hero

Water Baby.

Our little water baby is lovin' the pool this summer!

Don't you think??

I know I sure am enjoying pool time with him!

Summer Projects.

In honor of Summer officially beginning earlier this week I thought I would write about my summer projects. Here is what I have on tap for Summer 2010:

Make Baby Food for Lincoln. I purchased this book to point me in the right direction. We started rice cereal on June 18th, I have made sweet potatoes and avocados thus far. We have only tried out the sweet potatoes and they were a big hit!

Lose more weight. I have 3 more pounds till I will be at pre-pregnancy weight, however after getting off birth control, my miscarriage and then being on progesterone to get pregnant gave me about 15 unwanted pounds before I even got pregnant. Plus, being back to "pre-pregnancy" weight doesn't mean anything fits like it use to, right? Can I get an amen from you other moms out there? Or maybe its just me. I need to lose more just so my old clothes fit b/c I'm too cheap to go buy new ones!

Learning how to use my new camera. Cory bought me this for our anniversary and I am lovin' it so far!

Play, read books, sing song, go swimming, shopping and hanging out with this sweet boy.

What are your summertime projects?!?!

Welcom back Summertime.

It's official. School is out for the summer and I am one happy lady! I am excited about spending my summer playing with my sweet baby instead of laying on the couch all summer with all-day sickness!! Instead, I am enjoying the benefits of that!

These baby blues were definitely worth it all!

The last few days of work my mom came up to watch Lincoln for us. She managed to still work while taking good care of him which is a big chore. I couldn't manage both! She also took good care of me because over the weekend I got strep throat which is still lingering on despite the antibiotics. My mother does a great job of just finding a job that needs to be done around the house and doing it. I managed to escape washing bottles the whole time she was here because every time I went to wash them she had beat me to it. Its hard to stay ahead of her because she is always two steps ahead.

Since we will not get to see the sandy beaches this year we decided to put a medium size pool in our backyard to enjoy this summer. We have it all set up but we have not taken a swim yet.

Cory cheesin' it up.

We just plan to stay low key and enjoy sometime around the house this summer. We do have one VERY fun trip planned around Jully 4th where we will be headed to The Rock for a family reunion. BUT the most important and most fun part of the trip will be meeting my new niece, Story Leigh, and seeing my sweet nephew, nieces, SIL and brother. This will also be their first time to meet Lincoln as well. The countdown has begun. We also made a trip to LA over Memorial Day weekend to meet our other sweet new niece. Upcoming post and pictures from that event soon.
