A Month of Thanksgiving: Day 9


The zero candle I had intended to use for his "birth"day cake.
Day nine and I am thankful for my sweet baby Warner on his very first half birthday. Dylan had a special recipe from school he wanted to try out making himself so we decided to make a half birthday cake to celebrate Warner. The cake was yummy and he had a lesson in following a recipe. I am thankful that I got a chance to be this little wiggle worm's mommy. He is not happily eating baby food, almost sitting up by himself to play, screeching to get attention, playing with his brothers and is up to 18.5 pounds. He is in the 75% for height, weight and head circumference. A perfect little boy. He is snuggly and interested in everything we are doing. He likes to roll across the room to try to get to new toys and puts anything and everything in his mouth. I bet he will be getting teeth in the next month or two too.




He's so wiggly!

I couldn't help but not put this one on, look at that concentration on his face.

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

cha cha cha changes

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
