It's been awhile...

I know it's been awhile...I've just been busy doing my spring cleaning and scrapbooking... oh and taking care of a sick little bum :(  He just can't kick the last of it - all plugged up from 5am on.   Thankfully the runny nose is gone and today seemed better than yesterday, so I think we are on the right direction.  Good little man for fighting through it and not getting mom worried to bring back to the doctors for a possible dose of "eeeeek" antibiotics.  (If you know me, you know I'm totally against those buggers unless it is ABSOLUTELY needed).  As you can see - he's doing well.  This was us on our walk yesterday and then at home.  Look how cute he is!

 He has a new thing..throwing stuff... but look where it landed, on his head - silly boy!!!

Scrapbooking is going well.  I am getting my ideas from the internet but obviously using my own photos and embellishments.  Here is the first and second page I did.

This is also what I am doing month by month.  You can see last months below.  I thought it was a cute idea and cuts down on the many pages I would have to do to explain all of his "likes" and "firsts".

I had most of his scrapbook done, but to be honest, I hated it from the start.  It was thrown together (I was doing it when he was first born, running on zero sleep and did it because I had to do it).  Now I'm making it smaller and making it more memorable so he can keep it and look back on it when he has his children!

I am excited to celebrate my first Mother's Day tomorrow :)  We are not doing much, going to see both of our moms during the day and then Ryan is making me his wonderful, yummy, meatballs to go in my Mother's Day Spaghetti & Meatballs dinner.  He is also making me breakfast so I am quite excited!  For my gift, I got a pair of Toms - boy do I LOVE these shoes!  I also got this Pure Vida Bracelet.  I am using it for a "nursing marker" so I know which side to switch the hungry monster to lol.  But it's also really cute and fashion friendly.... better than an elastic band or cheap bead bracelet.
