Sleeping Record!

The Frog slept for 6 HOURS STRAIGHT last night. SIX!!! And it was all while I was asleep: 10-4.

This is cause for celebration

and a cute picture of him sleeping :)

The Blue Mallow

I've finally decided I need to do something a bit physical, just because I love it so much and I need to get out of the house more, so I've decided to start walking. It's been really fun to walk around my neighborhood and finally start recognizing where I am, or discovering two streets that connect. My Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico Stroller is awesome too. (Thanks Nanny!)

But, I think my favorite part is how cute The Frog looks all bundled up.

Chocolate Success

You long-time readers (do I have any?) may remember this post about the delicious chocolate cake I had. Well, I FINALLY got around to making it. (8 months... not so bad) A girl/woman/lady (I don't know why, but I feel weird calling people who I consider to be my friends a woman. I still feel like a girl. Girls need a "guy" equivalent that is not "gal". I dislike gal. Not sure why.) in my ward had a baby shower and I was asked to bring a dessert. YAY! A great excuse! I used my silicone bundt pan- SO AWESOME.

It tasted as good as it looks :)

Nursery Additions

The Frog's Nanny bought him a cute little froggy mobile, but we couldn't attach it to our crib, (too complicated to explain why) so I've been on the lookout for a different one. My oldest bro and sister-in-law suggested the Infant Stim-Mobile and so I bought it on amazon (Thanks Laura for the gift card!) and it came on Tuesday.

The Frog LOVES it! More than once I've put him under it while fussy and he'll immediately stop fussing and just stare at it, mesmerized. He even smiles! (notice the pic) It keeps him entertained for his whole awake time, and it doesn't even move or have music! My favorite part about it is that it comes with many pictures, so you can switch it up and give him something else to look at. I also like that you can change its height, so that new babies are able to focus on it really close to their face, and when they get old enough to reach for it, you can raise it up higher. So smart!

While I'm discussing nursery additions, I've been meaning to find some kind of wall hanging that would be good for a nursery, but also functional and bright- something interesting for him to look at as well. I found the PERFECT thing at TJMaxx Home Goods for a very reasonable price.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for numbers :)

My Boys

Aren't they the cutest?
