Happy Holidays Everyone! I can’t believe Christmas is already almost here. Luckily I have managed to get 90% of my Christmas shopping done, the tree is decorated and the Christmas cards are in the mail. Now I just need to start wrapping, and we’ll see if I can manage any baking this year.

I got a new computer last week, and I have had some blog posts in my head waiting to be written. Maybe I will get to it this weekend. Maybe not. We’ll see!

Here is our holiday card picture. I just love looking at him. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

My Little Pumpkin

Hi everyone! My little monkey picked out his first pumpkin yesterday. Ok, to be honest – his father picked it out. But it was just as fun. And it was nice to spend a little time outside, which we do not do enough. Here are some pictures of my handsome little man.

Me and my little pumpkin!

My two favorite men!

I am looking forward to Halloween. I have a couple cute outfits for him. No costume (I figured he would just be uncomfortable in one) – but he will still be so cute in his “I love my mummy” shirt! I can’t believe he is almost 6 months old already! It’s has been so amazing to watch him grow and learn. He is holding some small toys now and tonight he was pretty successful at eating from a spoon. A little rice cereal mixed with his first fruit…some prunes! I know…not so nice of me to pick that out at his first food. But he seemed to like it.

I am beyond late with a new post…so here goes.

Since my last post, we found out that we are having a baby boy! We are very excited to meet our Little Monkey. So far, everything is going well. I am still have morning sickness every day, and I am into my third trimester. But, only 3 more months of nausea to go, so not too bad, right?? My baby bump is well…a bump! I feel huge but I know I have a lot of growing still to do. Here I am at 26 weeks:

26 Weeks!

The nursery is coming along. My sister came down in January to help us paint. Then my husband installed a new ceiling fan. My father and my brother came down in February to re-finish the floor. It looks great so far thanks to everyone’s help. We still have plenty of work to do sanding and painting the trim and windows and building something to make the closet more usable. Hopefully we can get those projects done in April. Here are some pics of the progress:

My amazing mom also bought us a nursery set – which is an amazing and unexpected help. We spent some time this past weekend putting the crib and the dresser together. We still have to put the changing table together. After we set the crib up in the guest room, we realized it is too wide to fit through the doors, so once the nursery is ready, we are going to have to take it apart and put it back together!

My also super amazing sister is making curtains and bedding for the baby’s room. Here is a pic of the curtain fabric we picked out. So cute! I don’t know how she does it!

I know I should probably write some more, but being pregnant and all, I am really tired and need to go relax for the night. I will end with a Jovi pic from this winter. It makes me smiling just looking at it.
