    I snapped some pics of my cute nekkie baby.


    I just love how he sleeps sometimes


    His smile just touches my heart


    Garrett likes the plush rattle from Grandpa and Nana Holly


    Sometimes Tata just drops by to get her "Garrett fix"


    I think I am obsessed with taking close-ups

    Enough Mom!
     

    Big brother Braeden reads to me, I just love it


    Mommy won this sweater from another Mom on Baby-Gaga, I look GOOD.


    I feel so safe in Daddy's arms


    This cute little robe just looks plain on cute little me


    The kids got some aggression and energy out by destroying a dilapidated entertainment center


    Random cute shot


    Braeden doing homework at his desk, alone, in his new room. Him being able to complete homework unsupervised is something I never thought he would be able to accomplish. I am so proud of him. The wavy border between colors is intentional, it will be covered by license plates soon. We just need 15 more.


    October was breast cancer awareness month. My good friend Jenni walked in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Charlotte. We went to see her. I nursed in public, no shyness. After all, they were walking to save what I was using.

  • Finally getting Garrett some toys!

    Money has been so tight here lately. Several weeks ago we had gone to Once Upon A Baby to see what was available. They resell used baby clothing and gear. We tried Garrett out in a Jumperoo and he loved it. It was filthy though and I thought they were charging way too much for something that would take me hours to get clean enough for him to use. I looked at new ones but I could not justify spending $70-80 on one. I began looking at Craigslist. No one would email me back about the Jumperoo ads on there. I finally found one with a phone number, YAY. They are selling me all this stuff for $75.

     

    It is just so exciting. I know he will love the jumperoo and he will also have some toys to grow into. It was making me so sad that all the toys we had for Garrett was a playmat and a bouncer.

  • another quickie

    Eliana had a belated birthday party. She invited a few friends over for trick-or-treat and a sleepover. Everyone had a good time even though the t-o-t was terrible due to rain. We did a pinata though so that made up for the candy issue. The girls enjoyed the hot tub and fake margaritas that I fixed for them. Braeden served as a butler while they were in the hot tub. I woke up Sunday morning with a terrible sinus cold, still managed to produce a breakfast pizza that disappeared quickly to rave reviews. I spent the rest of Sunday on the couch. By that evening Garrett was fussing and refusing to nurse. Took him to the doctor this morning. He does not have an ear infection but his ear is inflamed so they prescribed an antibiotic to prevent an ear infection since the inflammation was interfering with his nursing. Garrett now weighs 15lbs even at 13wks, 2days. He is such a happy boy and is learning to laugh. He laughs at such random things though. Ok, getting my sick body off to bed now and will try to add pictures and more news soon.
