Mexico 2011

We took our annual Mexico trip to the Soffe's beach house in October. It was a much needed vacay since we couldn't really travel anywhere in the summer with baby coming. We had a blast and also blessed baby Win on the beach while there. My parents and brother and Girlfriend came to join in on the fun. We flew into LA, then rented a car and drove 3 hours down. Well, suppose to be 3 hours that turned into 6 hours with a few stops including trying to calm a screaming baby in a parking lot for an hour. The whole car seat thing is foreign to us. You mean you can't just pull the baby out while driving and sooth?? Darn.

We spent week and half in Mexico, Halloween in San Diego, and made a stop at Disney Land the day before we flew out. So fun. It was crazy seeing Disney Land as an adult and watching Poppy light up. The best. Having a new born at Disney Land with a cold, not sure if that was the best idea... but it all worked out. He did great. Here is a million photos of our trip. Sorry. I haven't even added the Disney Land photos yet. More to come. I'm bad at editing....

Uncle Bri Bri Our Friend Traci stopped in for a couple days.

I finally dumped all my iPhone pictures onto my computer. Here are a bunch from the past few months.

I took Poppy to the Zoo right before baby was born.

I Obviously was spoiling her because I was feeling guilty about having another baby We painted Poppy's room right before baby came This was taken of us at Shake Shack just hours before I went into Labor. Our last shot of just the two of us. That day we were running around all over the place. To the park, to lunch, grocery shopping, etc. Kicked Win right out of my belly. Day he was born. Just chillin. Poppy came to visit at the hospital. She did so great with the transition. Loves her brother so much. We lucked out. 1 week old First bath Missed her nap one day and this is what happened. At 5PM. Pretending to sleep in the Balls Heading to LA

Blogging maternity leave

I can't believe how much catching up I have to do on this bloggy. I've been a little busy lately taking care of this now 3 month old chap. It has FLOWN by so fast. Almost too fast. This little guy has grown following in his big sisters foot steps. He has become a little sumo wrestler and I'm thrilled that he is going to be as chubby and a rolling bliss as Poppy was a baby. He is such a great little guy and has an amazing little spirit about him. Very calm and even tempered in nature and has become a great sleeper. The beginning was a little rough trying to get him comfortable but now that he's grown out of that faze it's a whole new baby. Finally giving me some balance.

I still am wanting to share my birth story. Only because it's a pretty crazy one. I'll get to that one soon. Don't worry though, No pictures of me pushing the baby out or in a tub or screaming my guts out. You guys know exactly what blogs I'm talking about...

Here are some photos of what was happening pre baby.

Cousin Mack These next 3 photos are in subsequential order of what Poppy's emotions go through on a regular basis. Notice on the last photo her toys thrown on the ground. Oh 2 year olds!

More to come soon!

Please don't end summer

I can't believe it's the last month of the summer. NO! I really really don't want to enter the fall. Not yet. I want to play outside in the sun a few more months with my Poppy. I think I'm getting a little sad that our alone time is coming to an end pretty soon. I'm super excited to meet this baby boy but also very sad that I won't have as much one on one time with this nugget. I'm sure every mom goes through this as some point. And I know I will adjust. Lots to do before the baby comes!

I better get going
