Nick LOVES to read. He's always pulling his books off their shelves and flipping through the pages. We always find him in his bedroom "reading". For his birthday my mom bought him a LeapPad and he is absolutely obsessed with it. He is always bring it to either Eddie or myself to turn on and immediately starts flipping the pages and pushes the pages to hear all the songs and noises. He's even started trying to say "moo". His favorite page has cows on it. Thank you grandma!
For a while now Nick has been climbing on things. As he gets taller he's reaching higher and higher ground. Before he would just push stuff his books up to the coffee table and use them as a step up...now he can do it on his own. Of course before telling him no and not letting him do it anymore, I had to take a picture...
A few weeks ago Eddie, Nick, and I were at OSH buying some tape for my new plant and I saw a gorgeous patio set. I pointed it out to Eddie and we both sat in it and it was quite comfy. I gave Eddie my pout lip because I wanted it so bad but he still told me no. A little background...currently we have a patio set that was handed down to us by a friend from the Coast Guard. Fast forward to last Friday...I got home from getting my hair cut and I couldn't find either of the boys in my life. I walked around the house looking for them and looked into our bonus room and there were a ton of boxes. IT WAS MY PATIO SET!!! I then figured they were across the street because I had the car seat. Eddie had left Nick with our neighbors across the street and went and bought me my patio set for my second Mother's Day gift. What a guy!!! Of course he will get just as much use out of it as I will. I can't wait to have people over!
I've had my eye on a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag for a few months now. I want a cute stylish diaper bag that is big enough to include all the contents of my purse as well as all the stuff I have to haul around for Nick. I've been trying to convince Eddie that this is the diaper bag for me and he has kept telling me no. Finally he said that I could go look at one in person and see if it was big enough. Well...a few weekends ago we went to the Asparagus Festival and what do I see hanging off a stroller...a Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag pack. I point it out to Eddie and he decided that it was big enough and I could have it for Mother's Day. I ordered it that night from a website and about 5 days later got an email stating that they were sold out and the pattern I wanted had been discontinued. I immediately starting searching the web for another site. I ordered from another company but never received a confirmation email. I called them yesterday inquiring about my order and the gentleman who answered stated "it's already shipped". Woo Hoo...I was officially excited! I was trying not to get my hopes up just in case they were out as well. Today I went to lunch with my mom and dad and when I got home sitting on my front porch was my new diaper bag. I'm in LOVE!! This bag is gorgeous!! I told Eddie we have to go somewhere this afternoon just so I can use it!
Thank you honey!
