Two Months!

Last week "The Ders" celebrated his two month birthday with coos and farts and smiles. He is a big boy tipping the scales at over twelve and half pounds, but he's still tiny and squishy compared to big brother. Let me tell you that changing Anders' size 1 diaper and then moving over to changing Landon's size 4 diaper makes L look like he has honkin' sized buns. Potty training is on the horizon for that one!

"Ah whaaa?"

"Oh heeeey."

Trying to capture smiles on the iPhone!

Likes:

- The song "In the Jungle" (cue: a weema way a weema way, a weema way a weema way...)

- Being upright with butt pats (Dad's job)

- Post nursing "toots and poops" while lounging in the boppy pillow

Dislikes:

- He is starting to get used to Landon hugs and doesn't wince as much, but I don't think the dive bomb type hugs are quite welcomed yet. Kudos to big brother, though, for learning to take it down a notch.

- Being left in the bouncy chair for too long while everyone else is having fun.

A New Season

Well we couldn't get all of the boys in one shot because someone was a little cranky, but regardless the NFL preseason started this weekend and Erik is very excited about RGIII bringing a decent season for the Redskins. We shall see. We shall see.

"Guys in tight pants and big heads throwing around squished brown ball. Got it."

"Yeah, I play with Dora but I also crash cars and wear ill-fitting sweatshirts, what's it to ya?!"

Anders' Birth Day

It only took me two months to pull this together, as opposed to the one month it took me for Landon's video. Which just proves my theory thus far that everything takes twice as long with two kids.

We love you, Anders!!!

Hehe Haha

If you like kids laughing behind curtains and if you like big teeth, have I got the video for you!

Saturday Morning

"Oh, heeey there! Just working on some tummy time."

Reading some Oswald.

Outtakes

"Oh my gosh. I don't think that was a fart."

"Ah yesss, Master. Yeesss."

Hand Plane Restoration

My husband likes to buy crappy looking used hand planes at garage sales and flea markets given they are foundationally sound and under $10. I asked why he needs multiple planes and I think he said something about different blade angles and thickness. Wood. Yep.

I do think he does a nice job restoring them, though. Check out what a little sanding and buffing and staining can do! He could probably resell them for a good profit but I bet my  packrat snookum wookums hangs on to them for a few decades.

With all these hand planes, it makes me wonder why he has that big loud planing machine that is conveniently run during naptimes. Hmmm?

Love you, hon!

Surfaced

I'm happy to report the baby blues are gone, the sun is shining and we are moving onwards and upwards. Sure, there are certain times of the day where things are a complete shit show, but for the most part those can be overlooked when assessing the blessings of my family and life. 

I'm glad to be back. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to keep this short as my son's diarrhea diaper just leaked onto the new couch.

Namaste, bitches. This momma is back!

Make It Work

He's not going to last but this is my comic relief for Project Runway Season 10. I. Love. This. Guy.

Is it sad that a new season of Project Runway is re-energizing me? It always does. For someone who has primarily worn jeans and layered tees throughout the years, it doesn't make sense. But the new season is coming at a good time, even if I have to watch DVR'd episodes in 20 minute chunks here and there!

One Month!

"Mom, will Dad disown me if I become a redhead?"

"Brrgak! I'm one month old already?!"

Chillin' at one month

Poignant at one month

Dreamy and hopeful at one month
