Happy Anniversary

Three years ago today, I married my best friend.

 

Today, I have two best friends and two dance partners. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Drop and give me 20

Because we can't get to the gym as often as we could pre-baby, we decided to hire a personal trainer.

It's so convenient because we don't even have to leave our apartment and he pushes us way harder than we would ever push ourselves. He's very budget friendly too, he lets us pay him with yogurt melts and bottles of milk.

Mama's Boy

The time has come... Nathan officially cries anytime I leave a room. Part of me is flattered that he is so attached to me. But part of me feels incredibly guilty anytime I have to run an errand, go to the bathroom, grab something from the kitchen...

Tonight Will got home from work a little early and since it was a beautiful night out, I decided to head out to World Wide Plaza, a great open space a few blocks from our apartment, and enjoy the cool weather while taking a few moments to relax.

Nathan was distracted by eating dinner when I tried to sneak out. Apparently he was not as distracted as I thought and this was his reaction just as I closed the door:

But luckily just minutes later, he forgot all about me and remembered how funny his Daddy is. It makes me feel so much better knowing I am so easily replaced!

Peace and quiet

Today is the second day in a row that Nathan fell asleep in his stroller on the way home from the playground. He looks so calm and peaceful when he's sleeping... look at him on the left, holding his hands like such a sweet little boy.

But as my dad put it so well the other day, all he's doing is charging his battery. So I'm going to grab my iced coffee and snuggle up on the couch with a book and enjoy this moment while it lasts. Because I know the second he wakes up, there will be nothing calm or peaceful going on!!

Lost and found

A lot of things have been going missing in our apartment lately. Magazines, shoes, cell phones....

We've figured out there's a good chance whatever you're looking for is in Nathan's hamper. It has become his favorite place to hide things.

Sick day

Nathan woke up yesterday with a little bit of a runny nose. Today he's got a case of the triple Cs, congested, coughing, and cranky. I hate it when he doesn't feel good but he's such a little trooper. I gave him a dose of Baby Motrin, slathered him with Baby Vicks and I think I've wiped his tiny little nose 237 times so far. Fingers crossed a good night's sleep tonight leaves him feeling better tomorrow.

Rainy day fun

The weather forecast this week is possibly one of the most depressing things I've seen in a while. It's cold, dreary and wet. Yuck. So today Nathan, Nana, Papa and I headed to the Boston Children's Museum. This place is so great, Nathan had such a good time. There was a projection wall where he could chase butterflies. There was a bubble river where he could stick his fingers under a waterfall. There was a life-sized checkerboard, a gigantic train track, a fingerpaint station.

Before we left I bought some fresh fruit so I could feed him a quick lunch on the ride home but after all the running around and exploring, Nathan quickly fell asleep after just a few bites. We could have stayed there all day if he hadn't needed a nap but there are so many more fun and interactive things that he can enjoy when he's a year or two older so I have a feeling we'll be back many times.
