Happenings Lately- September

Emerson and I made our first road trip all by ourselves! We went all the way to Elgin, OK to visit my family, a seven hour drive.

I was really nervous about doing this all by myself. The logistics of eating and making pit stops seemed like a nightmare, but Emerson did great. We only had to make a few stops for him to eat and get a diaper change, the rest of the time he slept. Some crying was involved, but it was short lived.

Naps on Grammy = spoiled

These two were so happy to see each other once we got back home.

The next week we had good friends from Oklahoma come visit us, the Bolitho family. Michael and Jesse work for the same company (in different states unfortunately), and we lived in the same towns in Oklahoma for a few years before we moved to Houston.

We had a great time seeing all of them and wish they would move here! (I hope you are reading this Kirby ; )

Calen, their oldest son, turned three years old while they were here, so we had to have a party of course!

We also went to the Children's Museum, which Emerson loved! Well, as much as a 5 month old can love anything I guess. He stayed alert the whole time and did very well sitting in his stroller, which he normally doesn't do.

"It's my first visit!"

His favorite were the mirrors.

Kind of blurry, but love his goofy face in this one.

The only pic of all four of the kids. Emerson wanted to play with them.

On another note, I have been thinking a lot about the upcoming holidays, and I am getting pretty excited to share them all with Emerson this year!

We still don't have his Halloween costume, not sure what he will be yet, but I am sure he will look cute : )

I have started putting together his outfit for Thanksgiving. Thanks to Carter's and Aunt Molly, we are almost done with it.

Confessions of a New Mom

I...
  • Still sleep with my pregnancy pillow (body pillow).
  • Sometimes miss being pregnant...and then I remember how uncomfortable I was, never mind.
  • Still take naps when Emerson sleeps.
  • Got so used to wearing new clothes when I was pregnant that I now want an all new post-pregnancy wardrobe.
  • Have found a miracle weight lose program where I get to eat whatever I want and shed pounds every week. It's called breastfeeding. 
  • Find myself singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" to myself even when Emerson is not with me.
  • Sometimes rock  myself to sleep out of habit.
  • Look forward to bedtime. Hurry up 9 p.m.!
  •  Am getting used to eating with one hand and doing laundry, and cleaning...
  • Have checked on my son to make sure he was still breathing while he was asleep.
  • Am going bald! Well, not completely bald yet, but definitely have bald spots. No one tells you that you will lose all your hair after having a baby.
  • Get excited to go to Babies R Us and see what cool toys they have.
  • Am not as excited to start solids like I thought I would be. There are too many rules! 
  • Love my son more than I ever thought possible...especially when he pouts, it is just too cute.
