Update in Pictures (ahem...of the Cutest Baby Ever)

Oh, I'm sorry my friends, but it's just true. He really is the cutest baby to ever walk the planet! What can I tell you? Don't believe me? That's OK. Turns out, I have photographic proof of this claim. Not random blather I tell you - but positive proof that the freaking best boy in the world lives right here in our house. Have no idea how we got so lucky, but what can you do?

Eat. Him. Up. Every. Day. (his little tiny baby toes are the best freaking part - seriously)

Now...onward to the pictorial proof:

1. First we have the charming smiling adorable "overalls" look. Can you stand it?


(Notice the tiny little tennis shoes below? Just barely peaking out from the jeans? Size 2. Wanna eat him up yet? Uh huh...me too...)


2. Boy who rides a horse. Now you might think he would be scared? No way. Ride em' little cowboy. He rocks himself. Best boy eva'. Notice the baby toes...scrumdidillyumptuous.


3. Sorry, but I don't know a baby boy who rocks a pair of "footie" jammies better than this little mister. Come on, dawg! Check out those puppy dog feet! Shoot!


4. Helps around the house. Here he is assembling his own birthday gift with some (ok a lot) of help from Daddy. His first wagon! Yaaay son! Best little supervisor ever!


5. Seriously folks - first ride in his wagon. I mean...sniffle...sigh...could he be any cuter? I think not.



6. Ok, even when it got a little chilly and we had to bundle up a little better on said first ride in wagon - dang...baby is rocking the sweater. The most handsome serious "look off into the sunset baby in a wagon" picture ever!

Oh, now you're just showing off...but I luvs it Mr. Hammy.

7. He gets the "Chillin-est Baby of the Year" award. I mean, come on! How stinking cute! Rollin with the homies... (*shameless "Clueless" reference - couldn't resist)


8. Wagon - Take II. Not to be deterred by the increasingly cold temperatures, we ventured out this morning for our second "jaunt" in the new wagon. This time we had to sport some warmer duds, and frankly...my boy is tearing up that purple beanie. Ok, it's Keira's...but it was all we had, and he's still ridiculously cute it in.

I mean, check out the completely mismatched outfit - and yet...it bears repeating...say it with me....

Cutest Baby Ever.

Together at Last

My dear sweet friend Erin was FINALLY united with her daughter Meisey today. The M3 Posse is celebrating!

Go give her a blogger hug - they've waited three and a half long years for this moment and it's finally here!

Erin - my dear - she's BEAUTIFUL!!


LOVE YOU!



Ps - I'm all that's left for the Posse. Come on sweet Keira!! We miss you baby girl!

Sunshine

It's been the most beautiful of days around here and we've tried extra hard to get outside and enjoy them. Especially since I know that they are numbered and the cold weather is coming soon to settle in. Sitting inside when the sun is shining, but the temps are cool and the breeze is blowing seems sacrilege. So we made it to the park on Monday to play on the swings and today we opted to take a blanket outside in the backyard and just enjoy the lovely winds that were blowing. We have so much fun together - just babbling, cooing, and climbing all over everything (him...not me...though I have been known to babble on occasion.) Blue sky...big white puffy clouds, and such a relaxing afternoon...

Soon it was nap time for baby boy, but I could not get enough of the lovely day and the windy weather. I took my "desk" outside and worked from there. Anabelle agreed with me - can't be inside today. Heaven.


Hope wherever you are, it's beautiful also! Snow or Sunshine...

Crammin' it in

I've got a bullet point post, sans bullet points (because they screw up the look, ya know?) Ok...where to start?

First, as has become a tradition this year - we had our "M3 Posse send off" lunch for our friends Bob, Erin, and Mollianne yesterday. They're on their way to get little Meisey from China tomorrow morning and we are so excited! This is it for the posse - I'm all that's left. One more to go...little Keira. Wow...can't believe we're finally closing this long wait down! (Captions are below pictures)

The Whole Gang - minus a couple little ones...we're missing Mollianne who was with her grandparents, Meisey who is coming home in a couple weeks, and Keira. (and who knows who else?!!?)

The Posse Sistas. Love my girls...

I especially love this picture. It totally touches my heart. We were having lunch with the gang and Anton and I looked at the table of our friends and said "this is so cool - there's not one biological kid among us!" Now to some that may sound silly - but imagine the scene we make when all five families are out with our...oh, soon to be NINE kids between us and not one of them look like any of us. It's AWESOME! Meanwhile, this picture above just...I don't know. It's so smbolic to me of the starfish story. It made a difference to these little starfish... (and look at my little man on the end. I love how the only two boys (and only ones not Chinese) are end-capping all the ladies!)

If you're like me and love following families as their traveling to get their little ones - then you won't regret visiting Erin over HERE and doing just that. She'll be posting from the trip as often as she can!

Halloween was just too freaking cute....seriously...you want the cute? You really want the cute? Well, you can't handle the cute! Don't believe me? I warned you...

We did attend a Halloween party about a week ago and don't ask me why my husband is wearing a dress. He ran out of time and that's what he came up with. The blonde wig was stunning - so stunning that I asked him to take it off. Disturbing people. Even for dress up. But that's one stinking ridiculously cute little lion up there...shoot!


On Halloween, we made for the mall because they were doing trick-or-treating indoors and with air. Since it's been in the 80's and we don't know a lot of our neighbors (ok any of them) we opted for the this route with M3 sisters Valerie and Robyn and their adorable little characters.


Meanwhile, it's freaking Monday - and I'm not a fan of Mondays at all. Why? Because we lose Daddy back to the grindstone and we start our "same thing everyday" routine all over again. I'm thinking this calls for some seriously creative planning on my part. I just can't be inside when it's 80 degrees out. We're heading out to a playdate with twins Carter and Conner this afternoon - yaaaay for lunch and a walk to the park playground! Pictures to come!

Can I just once again offer a weak and feeble attempt at apologizing for my absurd lack of commenting on all your wonderful blogs. I continue to stalk all of you and keep up on your day to days...Doris is eating lots of candy...Eloise had a beautiful block party, Donna and Rubyiscoming are wondering if today might be the day...Misty got her referral...Christy's family just had a beautiful party for the grandparents (great family pictures too) and Cora got her first blog award. I could go on and on and on. Kim is cleaning today because she didn't do much yesterday, Lisa and Brianna have been partying hardy on the birthday circuit, Jenn M still cracks me up and she's like me - she wants you to Vote. I'll just stop there...because when I say I read your blogs, I'm serious. Like daily. I just never seem to stop and say Hi...I've got to get better at that. Some of you are champion commenters and can I just say, I appreciate you. I just have got to get my motor running on this.

I guess this is all I've got for the moment. Except...

Please Go Vote. That's all I'm gonna say.
