Pigs are flying.

Yes, they are, and for a few reasons.
One, the fact that I am blogging. I know it has been forever. Two, my toddler now sleeps through the night the majority of the time, AND takes naps in his crib. It only took 15.5 months for the night sleeping (ok, he came in our bed last night), but we have more nights where he actually stays in his crib and sleeps. Amazing.
And the biggest reason pigs are flying? I am pregnant. 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant to be exact.

Shh, it's a secret!

I have a one year old!

I can't believe my sweet baby is one today. A year ago today, in 24 minutes to be exact, I experienced the best moment of my life when my boy was laid on my chest.

This past year has been the quickest of my life. It has also been one of the hardest, most sleep deprived, but absolute best and most amazing year of my life. Our little man cracks me up and wears me out every day.

We have a big bash planned for Saturday. Thankfully my husband didn't mind the huge pinterest inspired project he had to do for me. Pictures to follow of the party. Promise.

And here is our last monthly photo. I am going to miss taking these every month. Though, I won't miss attemtping to find a onesie that fits him. By the looks of things, he is pretty pumped this is the last time he will be sporting the stick-on tie.

I wasn't born to the best dad,

but my little man was.

Sidenote: I do have a (step)dad, who came into my life when I was older. He's awesome. Here's the proof.

"Breastfeeding is for poor people."

Yes, this was said to me by one of our friends, half-joking, half-serious. His reasoning behind this? Breastfeeding is pushed so that those that use goverment assistance aren't spending more tax dollars on formula. I let him know that I planned on breastfeeding until at least a year. Oh, and then he found out we cloth diaper as well. Apparently, this information together makes one ask, "What are you, hippies now?"

"Free yourself" & "Support the economy and buy formula," could also be heard that day.

I don't make this shit up, people. Sometimes, I wish I did.

It's been too long.

My little man is 8.5 months old already! Here is a somewhat recent photo.

Next up on my blogging list is photos of our place. It's finally time I show you what it looks like to live in a "barn"!

I'm convinced

If I could bottle up baby laughs, I would be rich.

Maybe the growling too? That's new this week.

Sunscreen safety

Our weather has been super nice and warm. Odd and early, but I'll take it. I didn't imagine I would need to be thinking about covering little man in sunscreen yet, but after a walk yesterday in the sunshine I decided it was time. I've always been worried about what is in the sunscreen I am wearing, so no surprise that I am more concerned with what he is having rubbed into his skin. I found this helpful website that rates sunscreen and thought I would pass it along. You can search different criteria or just check them out by ratings.

Also, my little man is already 6.5 months old and I really need to get back to posting more!
