iphone photo dump...

i think my monday posts from now on will all be iphone pics i've taken from the previous week...

thursday i took both babies on a wagon ride! they loved it!  it was so nice to get outside.  i had to dress baby A in some of cullen's stuff because it was a bit chilly outside, she didn't seem to mind ;)

on friday i didn't have baby A so i took C to the zoo with a friend of mine!  

baby C all ready to go...

and momma A all ready to go...

C and I both had to take off our hoodies right when we got to the zoo, it was so warm outside!! It was the perfect day to go to the zoo, it was beautiful out and it wasn't too busy.

this crazy monkey kept jumping at the glass and hitting his head!  it made such a loud noise, it could not have felt good.  and it was kind of scary...

Cullen's goodies from the giftshop, a light up wand and a onesie to wear for our next trips to the zoo.  I only bought C that wand because another little boy had one and when the boy walked near C, C took the wand out of the boys hands.  I figured he could have his own crazy wand toy ;)

the zoo had a new memphis style place to eat at so i had to try it.  my friend and i both got drumsticks with tangy memphis sauce, they were delicious!! 

i ate them all!

i came home to this...

i guess B was ready to party!! 

we had a drink on the deck and B grilled steaks for dinner! 

C was in his walker and since we were gone all day he missed his favorite show, bubble guppies. so we brought the laptop outside for C to watch his show...

C ran laps in his walker while enjoying puffcorn and guppies!

we were all asleep by 10, party animals over here ;)

saturday was st. patty's day, here's my little lucky charm...

i went to the gym and then C and i went to visit my bestie at the hospital, she had her baby girl camryn on friday! :)  she was absolutely precious!

by night time it was 80 degrees in our house!

C had to be stripped down to a diaper, he was so sweaty...

 C likes to nibble on his toesies...

love this sweet, sleepy naked baby....

and that's all i've got for today, hope ya'll had a great weekend!!

all about C and advice is welcome if you have any....

I am not known to do weekly or monthly posts BUT our booboochicken Culley has had so many milestones since turning 10 months that i just have to post on our sweet baby boy....i mean BIG boy!  In the past 2 weeks a lot has changed...

C has learned to crawl...

and he gets into EVERYTHING, toys are in the past, he prefers anything but them! ;)

C has learned to pull himself up on furniture/toys...

C has learned to walk along furniture...

C also learned how to "talk on the phone", ha!  B gave C one of his old phones to play with and he instantly put it to his ear...

C also is getting 3 new teeth!  His two front chompers and one on the bottom. That makes 7 teeth!

C has decided that he LOVES soft puffcorn and it's about the only thing he eats....

This was the other night when C had a high temp and he got to the point where he was only happy watching bubble guppies and eating puff corn so baby got what he wanted.

C discovered the kitchen which includes the tupperware cabinet AND he is just dying to get into the trash can cabinet and tip the can...

C is always smiling, even with a runny nose...

C loves looking out the window...

C loves playing with his daddy...

C also loves his blankie and paci...

Cullen has a paci in A LOT because he grinds his teeth and that noise is like nails on a chalkboard, gives me the chills.

C eats well for his 3 meals a day with baby food (as long as he is not teething) but he seems to have a texture issue.  He will not touch or eat anything that is not rough to the touch....he LOVES gerber cheetos and puff corn but he will not eat waffles or pancakes, I think it's because they are soft.  He eats yogurt for breakfast and then 2 chunky baby foods a day and I usually add tiny star pasta into the food to make it more chunky and filling, he also has snacks in between which usually is cheerios, gerber baby puffs, yogurt bites or puffcorn/gerber veggie cheetos.  He loves his baby food and I still nurse him throughout the day.  He has a bottle before bed and usually wakes anywhere from 1-4 times a night, not necessarily to nurse/have a bottle, he just isn't the best sleeper.  He will not eat any solid veggies, fruits or meats, I've tried chicken breast and multiple veggies and fruit).  C loves noodles and I've added them to his baby food but he will not touch them.  He likes bananas and sweet potatoes and many other fruits/veggies but he will not touch them, when he touches them he cringes.  I'm nervous about this going forward since C is almost ONE :(   If he stops nursing and goes to whole milk, is he supposed to stop eating baby food and only eat solid "people" food?   I think I will have to keep feeding him baby food if he doesn't eat the "people" food.  He won't even eat it if I try feeding it to him, he gags and then won't open his mouth for another bite.  Also, C won't drink from a sippy cup himself.  He tries but he doesn't understand that he has to tip it, if I tip it he will drink from it.  He doesn't understand how to use the straw sippy cups either.  Of course I'll keep trying when it comes to that.

If any of you have advice on anything I wrote about above, I'd love to hear about it!

How did you transition your baby from baby food to whole foods?  

What are/were some of your babies favorite foods?

Was weaning from nursing easy for you?  

Did you give your babies bottles of whole milk or just use a sippy cup?  

Was it easy for your baby to use a sippy cup?  Which one was their/your favorite?  

random iphone photos...

all these pictures are from the weekend :)

C and I went to the mall on Saturday.  I needed to find some pants and shoes for him to wear to a wedding.     I still have to get clothes for me and B and I have no idea what we are wearing. C is so easy to shop for. I also got him and B matching under armour hats ;)

my sis and i went to chilis and they messed her order so we got this delicious dessert!

her and i both ate too many chips and salsa, we brought our lunches home, ha!  they do have the best chips n salsa though!

dinner friday night was baked chili cheese hotdogs and sweet potato fries...
