da da da da da.... I'm lovin it!

Being home is the BOMB!!!

I have time to work out and fit in my skinny jeans.

I get to play with this adorable thing ALL day!!!

Even when he is doing naughty things

I do teach him good things: See he is eating with hashi (chopsticks) all by himself!

I am teaching him the Waddoups PJ Fashionware.

He learned how to climb up on things by himself.

Obviously someone gave him the hankering to get up high however :(.

I even taught him how to binge out on Oreos! 

(p.s. he was actually sick this day, not just sugar sick)

He even has learned how to take pictures. He keeps stealing my camera and walking all around with it. It is always interesting to see the world from his view.

Unfortunately I forgot to pack my camera for our Idaho trip. But I will forever have an image of him sitting on the little red bench watchin my mom garden engrained in my head. It was sooo flipping adorable.  I almost feel guilty I love being home so much! I love spending time with Graham. I love having time to clean the apt (not that I always do!). And I love that the weather is getting nice, so we can go play outside just about every day! Graham is slowly working on his words and sign language. He keeps getting a little confused, but we almost always know what he wants. In fact, he gets so clear about what he wants that he will refuse to say it. ugh. He walks with the grace of a toddler and is an incredibly pleasant baby. Not sure how I lucked out... but I'M LOVIN IT.

Starting off with a bang

Obviously I have a bit more spare time (and computer time) now that I am a, dun dun dun, stay at home mom!  (BIG SMILES). And we surely started my first day off right. Graham cried at five (he was pooping). Went back to sleep till 7, whined until 9... it's all a blur until around 12 when I ditched the fam and went and got a PEDICURE (that's right Kim, I stopped asking permission and finally got it done!). My toes are a crazy green, but I guess it works for St. Patrick's this month. Then I went and met up with Seanypoo and GK at Wally's. We got the little man some more shoes, we left the last/only pair that fits at the babysitters and I'm not exactly sure when I will go back to SF -- soon I'm sure. And a Wally trip with all of us pretty much counts for FHE right? So we are on the right track there. Then Sean was a wonderman and watched GK again while I went to a Body Pump class with my pedi-buddy. It was a freaking awesome workout.

 I realize this is not a typical stay-at-home-mom day. But it sure was a great way to start a new era out with a bang!

I'm Done!!!

No pics today, but I officially am done with working at the Clinic! YAY. I will dearly miss my girlfriends but am stoked to stay home with my babes... who currently NEEDS me RIGHT NOW. Full time momhood... here I come!

One

 

My baby is one. My heart has broken, just a little. I'm not sure if it will ever be the same again. Wait, that is stupid. I KNOW my life will never be the same again! I realize they have to grow up. I look forward to him walking (better) and learning how to talk (not argue)... but really.... ONE!?  Who said my baby could become one? I want to know who you are, seriously. Becuase I have a problem with my little smoosh being one.

Anyways... besides him growing without my permission, he is also getting extremly cute.  I finally bought him a tie, only to realize it was WAY too small. But if I crop the pictures just so, it looks AWESOME!  He now has a bigger tie, but I'm still working on getting a white shirt for him to wear to church. (They are hard buggers to find for cheap!) Currently he wears alot of plaid shirts with kakhi's.

 For his birthday we threw together a last minute party. Sorry if you weren't properly invited. Sean's family has a tradition of the dad making a cool/unique cake for the birthday, and Sean had the brainchild of making a toothbrush. (Graham loves loves loves the toothbrush caddy in the bathroom-- which also happens to be the one thing in the house he really isn't allowed to have.)  However the cake went as follows: Sean baked, Sean pulled cake out of pans, Sean started stacking, Sean mixed up icing/whipped topping, Rachel iced, Rachel finished stacking/making brustles, Rachel put the cake outside to firm up, Rachel colored icing, Rachel finished icing, Rachel put a decorative G on the cake, Rachel carried the cake down to Grandma's condo.     

Let's call it a joint effort.

 

But we really know who MADE the cake!

Some of us

Around here not a whole lot is going on. We like to spend time like this:

Just hanging in our PJ's at home.

Occasionally we do take a bath and do a little beauty routine:

 

(Graham LOVES toothbrushes right now).

And we got out to see the lights! It was a suprisingly difficult thing to do.

Graham spent most of the time completely docile in his chair. He really didn't care too much about this lights this year.

 

But in the end we know he liked it. OK we really only know that he survived and didn't mind too much, but he is pretty cute none the less.  

I realized I missed blogging in December. It was kind of a crazy month. We went up to Idaho for a week for xmas. It was fun. The boys especially had a great time. We also went down to SF for New Years. Turns out Sean, Graham, and I all had a terrible cold. My head just throbbed and throbbed. It was kind of crazy. Sean's throat was really hurting him, and Graham was coughing, sneezing, and in general not very happy. We still had a pretty good time. Sean and Graham rode the side by sides out in the field, and I slept quite a bit.  Other than that not much exciting is happening around here. We are all still on the recovery, and I realized at 10p last night that no one even left the apt yesterday. How odd. I guess I'm more of a homebody than I thought.
