My little Romie will be 5 months old tomorrow so I thought I'd hurry and post his 4 month stats before he turns 5 months old.:) Kinda cuttin' in close huh?

* * *

Roman's 4 Month Stats:

Weight- 17 lbs. 3 oz. (75-90%)

First attempt in the bumbo.

Warm fall afternoon walk/nap.:) Check out the thunder thighs!

Grandma's homemade mobile. . . . . pretty entertaining.

Lovin' the hood? Not so much.

Taking a nap with his favorite toy Mr. Octo Pirate.

Tell me seriously........does it get any sweeter than this?

Roman is still nursing well & sleeping through the night. He is such a good baby!

Love him to pieces!!!

5 Months Old post coming soon.:)

MY fiRsT HaLLoWeEN!!

Let me tell you a little bit about my first Halloween- -

* * *
To start......mommy dressed me in ridiculous orange & black outfits all week long.

"It's all in the spirit of the holiday" she says.:)

One night during the week mom & grandma made some minature cakes, cupcakes I think they call 'em, with my cousins but of course I didn't even get to taste them. Doesn't seem fair does it??

* * *

Then papa stuck a knife in a couple pumpkins, pulled out their guts, carved a face in one of them & a spider in the other and put a candle down in the center of each.......

.......seemed a little strange to me but who am I to judge the traditions of holidays.

Just when I thought this holiday couldn't get more weird- -

my mom took off my cute orange & black outfit and and stuck me in this........

Seriously mom?? A duck??

I was so irresistibly cute in that costume though that I nearly got eaten by a demon for heaven's sake!!!

I didn't even cry or nothin'. :)

I later found out that wasn't really a demon. It was my cousin Jett. Apparently every child out there and even some adults dress in some weird outfit and pretend to be someone else for the night. Huh, who knew??

* * *

Anyway, back to me & my costume.

Allow me to demonstrate the versatility of the duck.......

Waddling Duck

Flying Duck
Smiley Duck

Sleepy Duck

Mom's Little Duck


Grandma's Little Duck

.......you get the idea.:)

Hope all you kids out there got more candy than I did for dressing up & being tortured with endless pictures.

Happy Weird Holiday!!:)

Retail Therapy :)

Sometimes a girl just needs a little retail therapy....right??

* * *

And that's precisely the kind of therapy I needed, so my mom & I headed to Phoenix.
We visited friends & family, ate yummy food, got our hair "did", searched the sale racks, tried on a gazillion clothes, shoes & jewelry, made a few purchases and came home feeling gooooood.
* * *
Roman also had the privilege of experiencing our 3 day shop-a-thon.
And don't worry.....he participated in a little therapy as well.:)

Then we played dress-up......

.......and let him relax in the hotel room.

He was such a good sport. Just hangin' out with the girls and eating his meals in fitting rooms. :)

I found my new favorite store for baby boy clothes.

Roman is now the proud new owner of a baby wardrobe from H&M.

Love that store!!!

(I'm really not an irresponsible shopper. 90% of the clothes Roman got are for Christmas)

And this is the result of mom & I's therapy.......

Ahhhhhhh, there's nothing better than coming home with shopping bags full of clothes, shoes & jewelry.

Now that's what I call therapy!

Rolling Over!!

Little Mr.Roman rolled over for the first time last Thursday. It was the cutest thing ever!.....of course.:)

He has been rolling up onto his side for a couple weeks now but couldn't quite make it over that chubby arm. So when he finally did roll all the way over he was ticked cause his arm was stuck underneath him.

* * *

These pics were taken right after he rolled over.

Instead of pulling his arm out from underneath him I ran to get the camera.:)

What did I just do??

* * *
Happy Monday everyone!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My mom celebrated her 39th birthday again on Tuesday.;)

My dad & I made her breakfast that morning, then she opened gifts, and later on we took her out to lunch.

She had all 3 of the grandkids here to celebrate with her during the day and after dinner she got a foot massage from my dad......which is her absolute favorite thing.

I think this was the first year that she didn't know what she was getting. A new Sony camera with all the accessories. She's pretty excited to replace the old ancient Canon she's had for years.

Roman was excited for grandma's birthday too!:)

Happy Birthday Mom!!

I hope it was the best 39th birthday you've had!:)
