s-l-e-e-p

Did I ever tell ya'll that at 3 months Nash slept through the night?  No, because I knew the second I started bragging that it would stop.  Well, it stopped anyways.  And I am hoping that by typing this out I will jinx him back into some good sleeping habits.  Because this mama needs it!

Rise & Shine mama!

beach time!

We headed to Hilton Head Island for a few days to hang out with the Corona Family and friends.  It was a great trip.  I wouldn't go as far to say that is was a 'vacation' as I am exhausted.  We had an awesome grandma there for a few days to help us out, Nash was very thankful for that.  The beach at 4 months old just isn't much fun.  

Jackson doing 'work.'  He enjoyed 'big jumps,' going 'unda wataa,' and 'snackss.'

My beach boys.  Nash is ready to head back under the tent in his moms arms and work on our moon tan some more.  

Straight chillin!

Jackson was pumped to go to see the horses and petting farm.  That is until he realized you could actually pet them.  He promptly told them to 'scooottt back!'  

Wazzzupppp!

They had some awesome trees to climb at the Harbor Park.   Nothing slowed Jackson down from climbing up 'HIGH,' not even a big ol stanker.

renovation

It has been loud around here.  We are finally renovating the master bathroom.  The loud noise of the constant saw or whatever they are doing up there stops Nash from crying right in his tracks.  The 'workuurrs' and their 'hammas and biggg saw and boom boom' keep Jackson very busy on his own tool bench trying to keep up.  All the decisions on tile, counter tops, faucets, shower heads and colors and mirrors and and and are fun but a little stressful in my perfectionist mind as I picture my tranquil spa bathroom.  I can't wait to light some candles, have a glass of wine and sit on my bench (mmmhmm we got a bench in the shower) in the peace and quiet of my new bathroom.  Maybe in 20 years or so?

"I goin do work"

group hug

Jackson is a chatter box.  I can see it in his face, his mind constantly turning thinking of what he can say.  His new request (ok, demand, he is very demanding, there is really no nice way to put it) is a 'group hug.'  This is something I will never turn down!

Happy 4th!

 I thank god for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring.
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don't have to sacrifice
All the things we love

yumm?

How about some rice cereal?  Nash had his first tasting this evening.  I would say he had mixed feelings; didn't like the taste very much but couldn't stop eating it.  The rest of us preferred this Blueberry-Pineapple Crisp.  As in I have made it two nights in a row and you should too.

stat time

We had a combined 4 month / 2 year doctor's appointment yesterday for the boys.  They were both very well behaved.  I go in expecting the worst and they prove me wrong everytime.  (I am pretty sure I just jinxed myself by typing that.)  Jackson showed off to the doctor by thinking of all the things he could say and shouting them plus some doctor jibberish that I guess she only understood.  Nash did not want to be overshadowed so rolled over continuously on the check-up table.  It reminded me of the Pepsi Next commericial, well played Pepsi marketing, well played.

4 months

I can't believe Nash is 4 months old but I also can't believe he has only been in our family for 4 months!  I cannot imagine not toting him around everywhere.  He is really paying attention to everything around him.  He loves watching his brother entertain him, laying on his 'play mat,' helping me around the house in his Bjorn, napping in his carrier with the vent blaring in the bathroom, and long walks on the beach...  

This boy cannot resist smiling at his mama and boy do I soak it up...

Wait a minute mom, what about me?!
