Pupdates.

Since a lot of you have been wondering how our original baby is doing with the new addition to the family, I thought I'd do a weekly because I'm too scatterbrained to commit to a certain day of the week update of how the pup's doing.  Hence the title "Pupdates".

I will have to say, and I'm ashamed to admit it, but when you come home with a tiny little angel that you would wrestle a dinosaur to protect and you have psychotic, nut house like, straight jacket needing postpartum tendancies, your first baby, no matter how much you SWEAR it will never happen, becomes a second priority.  And when you're postpartum'ing it up you'll even find yourself becoming downright frustrated with him.  For no other reason than the fact that he's curious and wants to get to know (i.e. sniff, lick and be all up in his bidness) his new little brother.  All the things you want your pup to do, but at the same time don't since he previously just licked his crotch and butt in the same sitting.  I will tell you it's gotten better on my end.  I'm back to giving my boy his attention, taking time to let him know his mommy loves him, all the while still keeping him from licking C's face, hands, pacifier (everything except his feet, he can lick his feet).  And until C gets to the point where he's pulling Koda's tail, climbing on his back and momma can't do anything about the fact that he just crawled over and ate something off the floor, I'll be keeping him at a bit of a distance.  While his big brother gives me this pitiful face ...

{Mum, wut is dat teeny ting dat gets all da gud toyz and you won't's letz me tuch?  Mayke SHURE he no's dis is MAH BALL!}

Mommy still loves you Koda bear.  I promise.

1, 2, 3, FOUR?

I can't believe it.  I can't believe he's four months.  They really do grow fast.  Here are the chair pics as promised!

{"Don't bother me mom, I'm chillin' on my glider."}

{"What?  You want me to smile too?  I AM sitting up you know.  I'm only 4 months.  What do you want from me?"}

{"Alright fine.  Here's your smile.  Can we watch Sesame Street now?  My homeboy Elmo's waiting on me to come hang out."}

I could just kiss that chubby belly all. day. long.

OMG.

"Oh-oh-oh,oh-oh-oh oh my gosh."

I'm posting on a Saturday.  This never happens.  But I HAD to wish my little man a

happy FOUR months

 Mommy'll post your 4 mo chair picture since she straight up forgot to take one at 3 mo on Monday since you're currently a-swingin' and a-snoozin' away.  I'm pretty sure waking you up, busting off your clothes and laying you down in just your diaper for your 4 month pics would probably result in a face resembling something like this ...


Except 4 months older.  And 9 lbs heavier.

  And there's no need for a face like that unless you've just been rudely awakened and pulled out of your cozy home that you've inhabited for the previous 9 months.  Then I'd make that face too.

Happy 4 months angel baby.  Soon I'll look up and you'll be driving off to college.  Apparently those kind of comments make mommy make a similar face to the one above as well.

Mommy loves you!!!

Friday Confessional ...

My cute blogger friend, Aly, plays along in this fun weekly Friday post ...



Photobucket


And since my brain has currently dried up of all things interesting besides the cuteness of my baby boy and his daily occurances, I thought I'd play along.

I confess that I'm not domestic.  At least the whole "keep your house company ready at all times" part of it.  The whole staying home and not working?  Oh I got that.  Don't get me wrong, I like for my house to APPEAR clean, but the actual act of dusting, vacuuming and all the other shenanagins that come along with cleaning, I. HATE.  And to make matters worse, the Mister is the opposite.  Not meaning he loves to clean, but he loves nothing more than to come home to a house that will pass the white glove test.  I really wish I were a Monica.  Friends?  Anyone?

I confess that I am terrible, TERRIBLE at commenting on other people's blogs.  So much so that I rarely do.  Which makes no sense because I so adore getting comments from my wonderful readers!  I swear there is something in C that will give me time to read someone's blog, click the comment button and as soon as I do it's like that click turns a button on in him to either be hungry, tired, wet, fussy (insert any emotion that causes mommy to tend to baby) and I forget.  But like I've said before, I READ, I READ!!!

I confess that I have been an emotional rollercoaster lately.  It's getting better but we have still yet to get off the ride.

I confess that my hair is not naturally blonde (not much of a confessional eh?)

I confess that I MIGHT be becoming a control freak.  Especially regarding our child.

I confess that I need an intervention for my addiction to reality TV.  The Bachelor, American Idol, RH of (insert city here), Bethenny Ever After.  "Hello, my name is Katie and I'm a reality show-a-holic."

I confess that SOMETIMES I become a little road rageous.  But I'm working on that since I have little ears with me at all times now.

I confess that I have an obsession with constantly decorating and redecorating our house.  This drives. the Mister. (and our bank account) CA-RAZY.

And that's it.  Come on.  Play along.  You know you wanna.

We Have a Big Boy on Our Hands ...

Today was C's 4 mo. well visit (which included shots, boo) and let's just say our little man is a BIG man!

His stats:

Weight:  15 lbs 3 oz
Height:  25 in

That's in the 70/75th percentile.  Seriously, are we sure this our kid?  The Mister and I are munchkins.  Maybe we have an professional basketball player on our hands?  Nah ...

We definately have a player on our hands.  And by player, I mean with toys of course.

What I'm Loving Wednesday ...

Today I decided to link up and play ...


I'm loving the way this purchase has made my life so much easier ...


Our sink takes 542 minutes for the hot water to warm up.  No seriously, it takes forever.  So this little contraption was warmly welcomed into our home with open arms.  And it was only $30!  If you're looking for one we found this at Baby's R' Us.  A MUST buy in my opinion.

I'm loving that I've officially reached 15 lbs (45 if you count the 30 that melted off after I got home with baby) and that in another 15 lbs or so I can begin thinking about buying these adorable little (and I do mean little) items ...

{these are tummy flattening, just in case the little present that my sweet boy left me with in the form of a tummy pouch isn't gone by then}


{and if it is we'll focus on my usual problem area, hips and thighs, with these cute Juicy Couture suits.}



{and these are just because.  I'm kinda loving one-piece suits right now.}

{OBSESSED with the fringe!}


{oh the ruffles.  or as my Silly and I call them, fluffles.}
all the above found here.

I'm loving that my son slept until 8:15 this morning, giving momma time to do some of this blog post.

And of COURSE I'm loving ...


What are YOU loving this Wednesday?  Go link up and play along!
