Things to love as a Momma

Hello everyone! I hope the week is treating you right. This week has been a very fun and exciting week for Lil Peanut and I. He is really starting to take off with the furniture surfing, and since he is starting to walk more with less and less help I thought it was a perfect time for his first pair of Nike's :) So we went to the store and tried a bunch of fun shoes out, it took a little bit of time but we found the perfect set of tennies for him! I have also been working on getting him on a new earlier schedule for bedtime. My work schedule is changing next week and we both need to start going to bed much earlier! Peanut has been doing well with this, I found a very helpful article on one of my fav sites for momma's it is also a great magazine called Parenting. I highly suggest it. I also have to share a great idea called BoddlerBites. It's easy ideas for recipes and foods to feed your budding toddler. They are like little flash cards so it makes it very user friendly! I know for me it is sometimes hard to think of new and exciting food combos for Peanut to eat since he might not be able to have what I am having for dinner due to spices and such. Well enjoy the weekend to come I have to go check on sleeping Lil Peanut. Nighty Night ;)

Valentine's Day

I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day. 
Lil Peanut was my valentines.

 A very cute one I might add.  Enjoy the pictures ;)

We started off the morning by opening his valentines from Mimi, and Momma. 

Mimi bought him the cutest Elmo that if you press his tummy he blows kisses. 

And I bought him some more books to add to his library. 

And then I made Peanut heart shaped pancakes for breakfast!

He has a shirt on that says " I  ♥ Mom" 

Aww love this Peanut ;)

And then he took a nap...he had a very busy morning haha

Modern Era

I had to share this picture of Peanut. Our modern era of the Laptops. He was fascinated with it the other night!

Scrub-a-dub-dub Lil Peanut in the Tub

Lil Peanut in the bath tub. This is quickly becoming a very wet messy ritual with all the splashing that is going on. Target has some of the cutest bath time toys, and at very reasonable prices. Which makes it easy to love that store even more.

I do have to say it works like a charm when he needs to be tired out so he'll go to bed!

Enjoy the cute pictures ;)

Peanut's Big First Birthday Day

We had an amazing weekend. Peanut's first birthday was on Friday so I took him to the Aquarium to see all the neat fish, reptiles, and even a tiger! Oh my! Here are just a few pictures of our day there.

Peanut reaching out to touch the fish.

This Sting Ray swam right over our heads!

When Peanut saw this orangutan he stared making his monkey sounds.

ooo oo ooooo he says.

And then he roarrrred for the tiger.

We had a great time ;)

but look at that hair soooo, I decided what better day to get his hair cut for the first time than on his first birthday!

I mean just look at that hair!

His hair is all wet and ready...

All smiles on the first cut!

Looking sharp ;)

Overall it was an amazing weekend, and I can't wait to see what this next year brings in our lives. Lord knows the He already gave me the greatest gift ;)
