It's official-Stellan's 1st Haircut!

So I know it's not too exciting...but I have always wanted my son to have long cute surfer boy hair. One day he will have it...I'm vowing to not cut it again till it's SUPER long, but he had a case of "old man hair." His hair started falling out on the top and he had these two chunks on the side of his head that were long. Everywhere we went people laughed at him, in a loving way of course.

I will miss the days of our pretend Donald Trump combovers, and the days were he was acting bad and I made horns with those long pieces of hair! His new hair growing in is super blonde and thick so we took it down to one length to allow my surfer boy hair to grow. I kept his hair for his baby book and almost shed a tear! He'll be 5 months next week~where did the time go??

Fun weekend!

What a fun weekend we've had so far! Friday night Jason had an appointment with his tattoo artist in Tempe. So after work we packed us up, and went down to my old college stomping grounds. Going to Tempe makes me wish we lived "downtown." I guess I just miss the hustle and bustle of neighborhoods that have the mix of housing, restaurants, art, and more! Maybe one day we'll get to live somewhere were we can walk out our front door and be close to lots of culture!

Anyways after Jason looked at a sketch of his future tattoo, we walked Mill Ave and decided to get some food at "The Tavern." I was a little cautious to take Stellan anywhere because he has given us one hell of a time up until now. We ordered a couple beers, nachos, and hot wings (I know REAL healthy!) and what do you know??? Our little boy was perfect! Maybe he likes the bar scene already? A live acoustic guitar player was there, and we listened to music while the sun set. Such a perfect night!

Saturday morning we got up early and headed to downtown Phoenix. Megan's husband Michael was having his graduation brunch at a place called "local breeze." It was one of the cutest restaurants ever! It's an old house renovated into a restaurant with a huge patio, mature trees, twinkle lights etc. The food was too die for! Banana Foster's French toast! Need I say more? Yum! Then we came home and relaxed. I love the weekends with my favorite two boys, or should I say three~I can't leave Samson out! Oh and Jinxy too...love that little crazy woman dog. Here's some pictures from our adventures!

Mother's Day weekend

Thank you to my wonderful husband for such an amazing 1st Mother's Day. Jason watched Stellan on Saturday while I met up with Liz, Mom, and Grandma Rosalia for a day of shopping and pedicures. It was refreshing to be able to run in and out of the stores without hauling the car seat, stopping for diaper changes..etc. I missed my little man though, and was happy to tuck him into bed Saturday night. Also saw Iron Man 2 on Sunday~what an action packed flick! Not sure if I love Robert Downey Jr. as much as mom does (she said he took over Brad Pitt's spot), but he did put on a great movie!

Also got to have a little afternoon date with Jason at "The Living Room" wine bar. We made it for happy hour and glasses of wine were only $5.00 bucks~whoopee! Overall I loved my 1st Mother's Day and we even got a few family photos in!! :)

My annoying mom videos post!!!

I



I Promise to never post this many videos again....it's just these were taken over the last few weeks and I wanted to catch you all up! My favorite video is Stellan "talking" to me. He does this all the time after he eats, it's like our little mommy and son bonding time. He gives the the biggest smiles and tries to respond back. He is so aware of the camera~maybe he's going to be an actor? Oh no~then we'd have to support him forever!! haha...Although he is seriously the craziest baby I know, I am still totally smitten with him.

My new...but back to my original hair.

I was so sick of bleaching my hair every couple of months. I have been wanting to grow it longer but it is so damaged from highlighting that everytime I saw my stylist she had to CHOP it off! So enough is enough....I decided to go back to my roots~literally. I am pretty happy with it, although I am trying my best not to have "mommy" hair. Jason is getting used to it~although he says he loves his "hot blonde wife!" Whatever!!! Anyway~I am so looking forward to a day to myself this weekend, while daddy plays "mommy." I seriously think Jason is going to see me in a whole new light after he spends an entire day with Stellan. He hasn't yet, so this is SO EXCITING!! hehe!

Mother's Day crafts!

So now that I am a stay at home momma...I am loving crafting!! I just finished my mother's day projects thanks to mod podge...the greatest stuff on earth!! I made jewelry boxes for the grandma's and momma's...they turned out so pretty! I am loving the use of scrapbook paper, modge podge, and other embellishments. I am shipping out the gifts today and hoping everyone loves them! oh and on a happier note...Stellan is finally growing out of his colic! Yippee!! He's so awesome..I love him!
