I'm too sexy for my shirt

Would you like my sock?

Here, go ahead... take it.

Tough guy

Chocolate Explosion!!!

I found this recipe for chocolate mocacchino layer cupcakes and thought they might be nice to make for Mikey's upcoming birthday party. As I have learned in the past you must always try the recipe to make sure it works... you know, it's tasty! When I finished baking them I thought to myself... hmmm, what the heck am I going to do with all these cupcakes now? Needless to say the neighbors are going to get a little treat when they get home from work today. Then the idea hit me. I could give Mikey a cupcake and let him practice for the 'big day', right? Right! I knew that it would be messy, but I no idea.

This is pretty tasty Mommy...

Yummy!!!

I wonder what it tastes like if I smear it everywhere....

Yup, still yummy!

The spoon is even delicious!

And look! I even saved some for later!

Ahhh... a clean babe again! I think he approves.

Not to bad I must say... they almost look like the picture!

But, no more messes like that until the 'big day' kiddo!!! ;-)

Go Wisla!

For those of you who don't know, my hubby is a HUGE fan of Wisla soccer. Wisla (pronounced Visla) is Mike's favorite soccer team from Poland. Needless to say just weeks after Mikey was born Daddy came home with this adorable, kick a*# soccer jersey. So, here they are... in their matching jerseys. I love you two!!!

Just in case you were wondering what Mikey is doing with his hand... he is waving!

P.S. the green froggy slippers are Mommy's touch. ;-)

Happy Heart Day!!!

Aren't these beautiful? Okay, I didn't get these for Valentine's day but I did get them as a welcome home gift on Friday. Close enough! ;-)

We are still fighting the plague that we picked up in Omaha around here. Now poor Daddy has it too! It's safe to say our family will be staying home this Valentine's Day. There is nothing like some good snuggling on a cold, snowy Heart Day! I wish everyone out there a wonderful and HEALTHY Valentine's Day!!!

Omaha

Mikey and I had the pleasure of going to visit Aunt Becca and cousin Normy for the past week. It was so nice to see her... for those of you who don't know, Becca is my oldest and one of my dearest friends. I love her to pieces and appreciate her having us visit while she is 37 weeks pregnant. ( I know company can be exhausting in the third trimester) It was such a treat to see our boys together. Sure, they had their moments of pushing and stealing toys... but they are boys after all.

I love this picture... she makes pregnancy look even more beautiful than it already is.

Mikey and Mommy

We went out to dinner twice while I was there and BOTH times our boys feel asleep before we made it to the restaurant.

Oh no! Don't sleep yet buddy.... it's time to eat!

Old Chicago Pizza... yummy!

The boys playing together....

Once again... thank you so much for everything Becca. I really enjoyed my time with you and our boys. I needed that more than I knew and I can't wait to meet the new addition to your family. I hope you had a great birthday, maybe we can do the same thing for my birthday this year here in Madison. ;-)

It's ducky time!

There is nothing like a nice warm bath after going to the doctors to soothe the aches and pains. Mikey had to get some follow up blood work yesterday morning. It isn't anything serious. The kiddo was a little anemic at his 9 mo check-up (which is normal for preemies) so we've been on iron supplements for the last 4 wks. Turns out, that was all he needed because his iron is back up right where we want it. Yeah! Although he didn't agree when they took two viles of blood! It just wasn't a good day for him, he's also teething and was up every two hours for the last two nights. He is a tough little guy though... he still has a big smile on his face!

Don't you just love the ducky tub!

Bath time = fun time!

I did mention that he's been keeping Mommy awake at night? This is a good example of what we look like except imagine a cranky baby. He was up and ready to tackle the day a little bit earlier than Mommy had wanted. Oh well, what's a girl to do? Lucky for me Smoochie had my morning cup of tea ready. What good hubby. ;-)

Come on Mom, let's go! Chloe wants to go potty and I want to go play!
