It amazes me how the quickest lil moments in seeing Lil Peanut grow can bring such joy to my heart!

Here are some pictures that I think say it all!

 Enjoy!

Our fun weekend

Hello everyone it's been awhile since I've posted anything, Lil Peanut and I have been adjusting to my new work schedule which changes the daily routine for both of us! Lil Peanut has been busy trying to walk on his own. Right now he is a pro furniture surfer :) This last Saturday we went shopping with Auntie Amy, it was such nice weather to be out on the street mall and enjoying the buzzing atmoshpere. Here are a few pictures of the weekend!

Sportin the burger joint hat!

My Lil Peanut is getting sooo big!

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

Peanut in the Box

Last night I have to say I feel silly for spending money on a bunch of toys when I quickly found out that the simplest things entertain my lil peanut. I think the pictures say it all ;)

               

Papa is helping Peanut climb into the box...

And then he played hide-n-go-seek for awhile ;)

Peanut Mush

This was my Lil Peanut's new trick this morning...mushing food and discovering he can now spit it out. Not because he doesn't like bananas, but just because he can and it's funny lol. I couldn't help but laugh. 

This last week has been a good week, I see so many little changes in Peanut. It warms my heart to see all the new things he is learning, and understanding! His first birthday party is coming up this weekend. It is going to be a great time. I will post pictures of everything so stay tuned!

Welcome to our diary

Hey Everyone! I am officially starting my New Year's resolution tonight. I am a single mother of a wonderful lil peanut who is about to turn 1 year old at the end of this month. In the last year I have taken a ton of pictures and some video of his special moments, but I feel that as a first time mother my most precious and memorable moments are the daily encounters of us learning about each other and about life. Everyday I learn something new from my lil peanut, and find happiness in the smallest of things. I want to use this blog as a scrapbook of our daily life, and share with other momma's the moments of this amazing gift called motherhood. So I look forward to the adventures, and people I meet through sharing our diary with all of you!
