Mason's Monthly Update: 6 months!

Height: 28 inches
Weight: 18 lbs 5.5 ounces
Favorite Activities: Saying "ba ba ba ba", giggling, playing, "talking" to himself, playing in his crib and watching his aquarium that's hooked to his crib, sitting and playing with toys in between his legs (this is brand new!), chewing on stuff, trying to scoot around the living room only to have mommy or daddy put him back on his baby gym mat, all the usual stuff lol
Sleep: Sleeping through the night, but he has some nights (rare) when he wakes up in the middle of the night and needs his bottle. He falls asleep around 8 or 9 and gets up around 6 or 7.
Randoms: When he doesn't want food, he purses his lips shut and blows a raspberry, which in turn makes the food in the spoon splatter every where! It's really funny, he has to be in the perfect mood to eat all his food without doing that.
Food: He is eating yogurt, fruit, veggies (when he opens his mouth for them!), soft food we give him from our plate and his formula (his bottle is still his favorite!). We think he like apples the best, but we still can't tell because he doesn't get excited for food yet.
Clothing Size: he still fits into his 6 months, but he has more room in 9 months. I had to pack up his newborn and 3 month clothes, our baby is getting bigger and bigger. :( it's kind of sad he will never be that small again.
Hair: As you can tell, it's getting lighter and lighter!
Teeth: He has two bottom teeth now! My mom noticed it one day when I was at her house, she let him drink water from her glass and she heard the cling of his teeth. Michael and I were both SHOCKED because we had been checking every day for teeth and nothing and then all of a sudden there they were! Two of them! He looks like a different baby now when he smiles, it's so cute!
Monthly highlights: two teeth! Saying "ba ba ba ba", rocking on his hands and knees aggressively, getting ready to crawl! scooting around the floor, doing baby planks, sitting up on his own
Monthly Photo Project Extras:
I think that's it for now! I want to be able to remember these things forever and ever :)

XOXO,
Sara

EASY DIY Optimus Prime Costume (Rescue Bots)

Image
My son Mason who is 3 years old (almost 4), wanted to be Optimus Prime for Halloween. He has been watching Transformers Rescue Bots for a few years now, so I knew I wanted to make the Rescue Bots version. I have made his last two Halloween costumes and I was really excited to make this one! So I sat down to do some research on it and Googled "DIY Optimus Prime costume" and a bunch of images popped up that seemed really hard to do and also really hard to trick-or-treat in looking quite boxy and hard to move in, so I just used them as inspiration and came up with my own version aka t he EASY version! Supplies: 2 cereal boxes (I used large Cheerios boxes) 1 additional cereal box to be cut up 2 small boxes (I used Keurig k-cup boxes that I had laying around) Duct tape: red, blue, metallic silver (I found mine on Amazon) 2 empty paper towel rolls Cotton balls Black construction paper Gray paint (I mixed black and white togeth...

Project Organize: Home Office

Image
Recently, I decided I would take on the task of organizing our home. I am getting there slowly, but surely. The first (almost) completed project on my organizing to do list is my home office. I say almost because I still need to polyurethane the desk and put the new knobs on it. Other than that, it's completed and I couldn't wait to take pictures of it and share it! :) It was also great lighting this morning with the sun coming in through the windows, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I should also mention, we are almost done with a complete mudroom makeover, so stay tuned for a Mudroom Tour post! :) First, I'll show you the old desk area (picture taken June 2010). We inherited this desk from Michael's sister Laura and I painted it white and spray painted the knobs yellow (to match the chair, duh!). It's so funny looking back at old pictures of how I used to decorate and seeing how I've evolved as I have learned more of what I like. Anyways, ...
