Aiden’s First Year

Aiden’s First Year
Click to see a montage I put together of Aiden’s first year.  I’m going to be pretty busy this weekend, so I figured I’d post this now, while I have time.
I’ll post my letter to my boy next week, so I’ll save all the sappy stuff for then.  All I can say is [...]

Thin Thursday- Week 5

There are lots of things that I like to see going UP in number, including: 

Money
Hours that Aiden sleeps each night
Carat size of diamonds
Comments from ya’ll
The value of our house

Note that I did NOT add “my weight” to that list.  Unfortunately, my body did not get the memo, and I’m up a pound this week (insert [...]

When mommybloggers get sentimental (grab your barf bags)

We’ve been real busy here in the Kellybeans household.  We spent the Memorial Day weekend alternately chasing after our crazy toddler and working outside.  We planted new trees, some berry bushes, bunches of flowers, and mulched.  I am officially TIRED.  By the way, I did start that herb garden that I mentioned some weeks back.  [...]

Hairy

You might have some images in your mind when you read the title of this post.  I am NOT going to talk about body hair in this entry.  I have some PRIDE, you know?  (Not that pride has ever stopped me from discussing that topic here before).
No, I do want to talk about hair.  On [...]

so sweet

If you guys don’t read Miss Zoot, you’re missing out.  She’s funny, witty, and a totally cool mom.  And she just had her third baby today.
I was looking at the pics of her new little guy, and I swear, I got all teary.  It’s just such a blessing to give birth to a sweet baby.  [...]

Oh shit.

I mean that literally.  Oh shit.
Aiden loves to run around naked.
And he just figured out how to RIP OFF HIS DIAPER.
Oh, no.  We are totally screwed.

Klassy

My child will be wearing this shirt on his birthday.  Not for the entire birthday bash or anything, but this shirt WILL be put on and modeled for the amusement of the party guests.  Because we’re klassy like that.
Seriously, I already bought it.  I have no shame.  (But wasn’t that ALREADY OBVIOUS?)

miracle of miracles

Aiden slept last night from 7:30 p.m. to 5a.m.  without waking up once. That’s nearly TEN HOURS straight!
At 5 a.m. he nursed and went back to sleep until 8a.m.
This is nothing short of a miracle, and I offer my thanks to the sweet baby Jesus for this amazing feat.
Amen.

Aiden:  Victory!  And also… mmmmmm.  Dog [...]
