Wordless Wednesday: First Haircut Edition

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

(I apologize for the words, I just couldn’t stop myself. Also for the ridiculous number of photos. Again, unavoidable.)

 

OK, I GUESS he needed a haircut.

 

Holding still like a big boy!

Family photo!

The reflection is the best part

He got a little antsy at the end so I held him. E did not take any pictures of that.

 

The new hair make him look so serious!

Pretending to be a little kid (For the record, he's never used a paci. He was joking.)

THERE'S my baby. Next haircut on his 4th birthday.

My Week(21) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 26th, 2011

Ready for the most boring week in iPhone photos EVER? This is what happens when you have the flu, then are in the hospital, then sick, then snow, all in one week. I PROMISE we’ll go somewhere next week so you can see pictures that don’t include my family room rug.

Sunday:

Caroline is already bored with this post.

The iPad is truly family entertainment

Monday:

Peek-a-boo!

Yeah, this is all I've got

Tuesday:

This is Little Evan's new favorite outfit. I think the camo pants make it EXTRA SPECIAL.

Hey look, I left the house! To go sit in a hospital for 5 hours.

Wednesday:

There was lots and lots of lying down on Wednesday

Luckily we are a family that really likes napping

Thursday:

Screw you New England

Somebody likes her exersaucer

When you use a baby carrier for Teddy, your hands are free for important things like flashcards.

And you can run REALLY FAST and not worry about dropping him!

Friday:

A beautiful day for some more time at the hospital

I wore my Allora Handmade earrings & got tons of compliments

I finally got some time to relax. Hey, it's your turn on WWF.

Saturday:

Crazy hair and an adorable shirt

Doing a little work around the house

I have no idea what we’re going to do to day but it will NOT be sit on the couch and veg. I’m going to lose my freakin’ mind if I have to listen to this whining echo around the same two rooms for one more minute. MIND. LOST.

My Week(20) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Twenty weeks of iPhone photos! I’ve gotten in the habit of taking a LOT of pictures each week so I can have plenty to chose from when I share them with you. I actually had to move all the previous weeks to our back-up hard drive because my computer’s memory was full. Whoops!

Sunday:

Even though there is NO ACTUAL REASON daylight savings time should have messed with our sleep schedules, I'm blaming it for the 5 am wakeup that lead to a 10 am car nap anyway.

Providence. Hey, did you know they have an Apple Store there?

Perhaps the last Apple Store in the country to still have iPad2's available. Or at least they did. Before E and I bought the last 2.*

Monday:

It's officially BabyLegs season, now that someone's thighs are full of chub

The snot levels in the house reached EPIC proportions. At least he doesn't mind the sucker.

Hello lover. My birthday present came early.

Tuesday:

I HAD to get out of the house so we went for a walk with the $25 third-hand jogger.

And apparently that’s my only pic from Tuesday. Like I said, poor Little Evan’s head cold was making him miserable and barfy so we skipped the whole week at Stroller Strides. I’m going to regret that on Monday.

Wednesday:

He thought Brutus looked cold and was sharing his blanket.

All full - milk, water and juice. Poor kid was barely eating so I was trying to keep him hydrated.

New outfit due to naptime puke incident. But he was feeling well enough to ask to go outside.

Thursday:

The weather kept getting better! Little Evan played with his car while I cleaned the porch.

Spring flowers on the door mean it's officially spring. Screw the calendar.

Working out pictures, frames and an arrangement to go around the Modern Bird painting.

Friday:

He insisted Caroline's bloomers were a hat. And then tried to hide behind the glass door. My kid is weird.

OMG MOM! SPRING DRESSES ARE SO CUTE!

Sale at the yarn store! That magenta yarn is going to be a shrug. Someday.

Saturday:

Someone celebrating turning 3 months old by taking a nap.

And someone celebrating being almost 2 by throwing his spoon on the floor 50 bajillion times turning breakfast. Oh toddlers.

*I cannot believe we bought TWO freakin’ iPads. I thought even buying ONE was a waste of money until I got to play with it and fell in love. But E still had some of his reenlistment bonus left after we did responsible stuff with it and when you sell your soul to the Navy for 5 more years sometimes you need shiny electronics to cheer yourself up. And sometimes you really hate sharing so you buy one for your wife too.

My Week(19) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

Sunday:

I found these while grocery shopping. E & I used to eat at the actual Sticky Fingers ALL the time in Charleston, including our first real date.

Now that Caroline's a litle bigger I pulled out the cloth diapers. They're working well.

Monday:

Stroller Strides! Also, bebeh with ears on her hood!

Seriously, if we do switch back to cloth it will be entirely for the cuteness factor.

Apparently Monday was Caroline day. Adorable hat from Uff Da - I have a mommy sized one!

Tuesday:

Waiting for me to tell him it's time to go to Stroller Strides.

The bubble machine is my secret weapon against tantrums. Even if it means bubbles in the kitchen.

I went to Staples for envelopes and Post-its. It wasn't nearly as exciting as this picture makes it look.

Wednesday:

Mommy multi-tasking: bouncing two kids at once. Great leg workout too!

Invitations: addressed & mailed!

Little Evan and I played a LOT of games with Chuck the Truck and his friends

WHY IS THIS GIRAFFE TOUCHING ME?????

Thursday:

Mural on the wall of our post office. That's some awesome art right there.

That cool brick building used to be a fancy hotel. Now it's rent-controled apartments and a restaurant that keeps changing names.

Oven mitts are his favorite toy. This week.

Friday:

Taken 20 seconds after I finished seaming up the vest. I like to wear what I make as soon as possible.

Yarn & pattern to make a husband-sized sweater. I'm a little scared.

We ran some errands, including a quick trip to Best Buy to see if they had iPads. They did not.

Saturday:

SOMEBODY got up at 5 am. At least she was adorable in her onesie from @lifeversiontwo

I dyed my hair for the first time in ages. It's only a little blonder. I'm not sure I love it.

IKEA! Toddler room makeover before & after pics coming soon.

My Week(18) in iPhone Photos

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Sunday:

Giant Toddler towers over the tiny dog

Like two peas in a pod. Or two popcorn kernels in a, uh, Popsecret bag.

Monday:

His hockey stick is now a horse, and he gallops around going "NEY NEY NEY!!"

Playdoh playtime! I get the strongest urge to eat it. But I don't. Usually.

Putting his feet up while he gets a little work done on the laptop.

Tuesday:

Eating yogurt with the antique silver. He insists on the best.

Poor Caroline's bald spot is getting out of control. Good thing her face is so cute.

He's like some sort of crazy toddler superhero with those infant sunglasses strapped to his face.

Wednesday:

He reads "That's not my dinosaur!" as "No...no...no...ESSSSS!!"

Brutus enjoyed a break from the rainy weather

BEBEH GIRL SHOES. I want to buy them all. And, uh, maybe that white pair in my size?

Thursday:

Shhh, don't tell her her polka dot camouflage isn't working!

Apparently we needed to play with ALL the toys that morning.

Little Evan recently started loving on the bear I knit for him. And by "loving on" I mean "carrying around to hit people with and/or throw in air while laughing maniacally."

Friday:

We finally - FINALLY - left the house and made it to knit-a-long at Mothers of Purl.

We all watched Toy Story 3, some of us from the couch, some from our desks

Saturday:

Whoa, so many colors. It's like a baby acid trip.

We didn’t actually do much at all this week (because of sickness)(and a little laziness) but I’d say we still had more good days than bad ones. Although we had some really really bad MOMENTS – like when the toddler fell off the couch onto the sleeping infant in her bouncy seat (everyone was ok) or when the toddler hit the infant in the head with a hockey stick, got a time out, was released from time out, hit her in the head AGAIN and then asked joyfully, “TIME OUT?! TIME OUT!?” (everyone was ok again…except for my patience).

Today we went on a hunt for a twin-sized bed to start the transition from nursery to little boy room but didn’t end up buying anything. I don’t know who designs kid’s room furniture but dude, most of that stuff is hideous. Or HUGE. Or is so style-specific it only goes with other pieces from that collection…and I already have a perfectly good dresser and bookcases thankyouverymuch. Don’t furniture retailers realize that by the time a kid is 2 or 3 their parents have already gotten WAAAAY past the “everything in this nursery must match! nothing but the best for my snuggy-wuggums!!” stage? Nursery furniture is where your market is folks. Just make me a nice neutral not-too-high wooden twin bed. Sorry, furniture sales people make me ranty. I think we’re going to end up at Ikea.
