Four Months Old

My baby is 4 months old today!  He has been so much fun this month.  Lucas has been so interactive.  He loves smiling and laughing with people which, of course, melts my heart!  He's very into toys, chewing on his fingers, and rolling around.  He discovered how to spit and blow raspberries and he does this all.the.time.  We read to him at night and although he does not understand, he's very interested in all the colors on the pages.  

Since he was little, one song would soothe him to sleep (Lennon and Maisy "Hey Ho").  Don't ask me how or why this song puts him in a trance, it just does.  My sister played this a bunch when he was little and, to this day, he still loves it.  He doesn't cry a lot but when he's cranky, we randomly put on Disney's Mickey's Clubhouse and he was mesmerized.  So...yes, at 4 months old, we let him watch A LITTLE television. 

We love how interactive he is with us and smiles when he sees us when we pick him up in the afternoons.  I'm definitely still having a hard time being away from him during the day while I'm at work.  I'm hoping it gets a little easier.  We love this little man so much!

Cooler Days

It's cold outside!  Like really cold outside and I couldn't be more happy!  I started a new running routine and set a goal to run the next 5k in my area.  I've been loving my outdoor runs in the cooler weather and fall foliage.  I think if I set a goal, I'm more likely to keep up with the routine.  I'm still not fitting in most of my pre-pregnancy clothes and, honestly, it depresses me so I like that I am now motivated to do something about it.  Speaking of working out, Dunkin Donuts stopped making pumpkin spice donuts...blasphemy.

Perfect Fall

I took a little blogging hiatus this week but I'm back!  Fall, like most people, is one of my favorite seasons.  I wear sweaters year round but during fall, I don't look like the weirdo dressed for winter in June.  Thanks to Surfdome for sending me this cozy sweater, I've now become obsessed with sweaters that are so comfy they're basically blankets!  Surfdome has many options but I loved this shade of green and I could tell this sweater would be the perfect blend of comfort and coolness as I still live in the ever so changing Florida weather.  Lately the weather has been perfect for comfy oversized sweaters but I've probably just jinxed myself and it will be sweat dripping hot tomorrow...shock.

Simple Does

Is it really November already? This year is just flying by and I can't stand it. However, my favorite holiday is approaching! I already have Lucas' outfit picked out for when he goes to sit on Santa's lap! 

Well, as the title of my post says, just a simple post today as it's busy busy at the office. I can't complain! Happy Monday :-)

Superbaby

Hard to believe that Halloween is over!  I love Halloween traditions such as the one I've been talking about for what seems like 6 posts in a row: dirt cup!  This year, I couldn't find any gummy worms so there were gummy bears in our dirt cups this year.  We also had fun dressing Lucas up as Superman!  Holidays are so special now with Lucas.  My mom always made holidays a big deal at our house and I want to do the same for Lucas.  In fact, I may have already started buying him Santa pajamas and other Christmas goodies...shhhhh don't tell my H...

Walking on Sunshine

Who else is excited for Halloween?  This 30 year old grown lady is hella excited!  We and by we I mean just I have an annual tradition of watching Hocus Pocus aka best Halloween movie ever while eating worms in dirt (chocolate pudding with gummy worms and oreo crumbs on top).  I can't wait for Lucas to be old enough to take part in the tradition and for trick or treating.  We're dressing Lucas up this year as Superman.  Superman is my husband's favorite superhero and we found a cute costume that doubles as pajamas.  Win win!  My first Halloween, I think I was Starbrite and was Starbrite for like 5 more Halloweens in a row!  

PS: Thank you ladies for the baby clothes website recommendations!  

ETA: A lot of people ask me or tell me that they missed out on the sequin bow cardi from J. Crew that I wear religiously and this morning, I saw one pop up on J.Crew factory!  Here's a link to the factory version that is practically identical: Sequin Bow Cardigan.
