The daily routine

I have been back to work for almost 2 months, yuck! While I am desperately trying to arrange a part-time job, luckily Kevin has settled into a very happy routine at school. By the time we get home at night, I have a precious hour alone with with Kevin before he goes to bed. If he is in a good mood, I am treated to laughs & giggles. Lately he is so frustrated because all he wants to do is sit up! He is so close, but by the end of the day he is too tired to hold the pose for more than a few seconds before he tips.

Here he is tonight, just chillin' on the sofa. This was after our big adventure to get the mail - what fun! He likes to greet everyone in our lobby :)

First of many, a ride on Dad's shoulders on Saturday


ps - if I have been slacking on the blog lately, I will make up for it this weekend. Saturday we are taking a family portrait & Sunday is Kev's Halloween Party. More photos to come...

Tailgate in IOWA

This weekend we took Kevin to his FIRST IOWA TAILGATE! The party was not as wild as our old days in school, but we had a great time. The highlight of the trip was that my cousin Lori surprised me and came all the way from Philadelphia to Iowa. It was her first trip to Iowa and her first time meeting Kevin.

6 months old

This picture was taken this morning, he is still kind of sleepy:

This one was taken tonight, he had so much fun in the bath:

This is a really fun age. Kevin is so close to sitting up by himself. I am so excited for him to be able to sit up and enjoy the world for an entirely new view. He is eating rice cereal with peaches, carrots, applesauce, and bananas. Next week we should try some veggies (but the peas are soooo gross!)

For Uncle Dick & David...

Go Eagles...

I didn't have to share Kevin this weekend

Nate was in Las Vegas this weekend for our friend Ryan's bachelor party. That meant, I didn't have to share Kevin this weekend, I had him all to myself! It was like old times, just me & Kevin :) Friday night we went for a walk and to a few shops in our neighborhood. On Saturday morning we met my friend Lisa & her baby Blythe at the farmer's market. The weather is perfect here, so after the farmer's market we took the babies to the park for some fun in the swings.

The highlight of our weekend was a slumber party at Shari's house. Kevin & I went to Shari's for dinner last night & Meghan was there too. Lucky for me, Kevin was is bed by 7PM and I could enjoy some time with friends & a few glasses of wine :)


Kevin was testing out our new backpack/stroller. It will be perfect for his first Iowa tailgate in October!

Feeling better

It was a rough week; we made it through Kevin's first illness. He had a case of croup, his main symptom was that he coughed and "barked" like a seal. A dose of super steriods from the Pediatrician really helped. By Friday, he was doing so much better & no longer contagious so we went to visit some of our friends at the weekly Mom's group.



So excited for fall, our little 'punkin

Go Broncos
