Finals week!

I should be stressing out more....but I'm not.

I think my thoughts are turned a bit towards....CHRISTMAS.

Our tree is decorated, lights are up, village is set up. We still need to get Lexi-pants a stocking, and wrap presents.

I've been lusting over THIS diaper bag lately.

Check out the storage in this baby...insulated bottle/sippy cup holders, key ring, stroller handles, tons of pockets...drool.

Not to mention how cute this little family looks right here. Of course I don't normally look that chic(especially post-baby) but it's definitely something to strive towards. ;-)

Currently I'm toting a used Petunia Pickle Bottom Toddler tote. It's alright, but not my dream bag. The bottle pockets are small, and I'm not crazy about the storage or the handles. I'm too broke to justify buying a REAL new PPB bag, but this Timi and Leslie bag is less than half the price of a PPB!

So yes, it's definitely one of my dream Christmas presents. ;-)

Nerd moment!

I just found out the latest X-Men movie is being filmed in Jekyll Island. Sweet! (Jekyll is a couple hours drive from where I live)

Okay, I got that out of my system. Phew!

Mr. S and I, being the Christmas enthusiasts that we are, have started decorating a bit...early. We have our Christmas lights up and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Hey, if Walmart can start decorating, we can too! :-P

Lexi enjoyed watching the lights. I wore her in my wombfruit wrap, and cleaned off bird poo off of the railings while Mr. S strung lights. That was yucky.


Babywearing is another slightly-crunchy thing I've picked up since becoming a mom. It's so much easier to just wear her and get stuff done than to try to carry her AND do chores. Two free hands are a must!

Here's us at a pumpkin patch in my Beco Gemini. We're both cozy and comfy!

Back here again...

Here's Lexi in her Halloween costume, aka Madame Butterfly or Mothra.

So it's been awhile. Motherhood keeps ya busy, as I have found out. Between chasing after a crawling baby and writing java programs, I've been pretty swamped. So let me write an update.

Being a mom is the most awesome and hardest job. I love looking into my little girl's eyes and making her laugh. I love to tickle her toes and blow raspberries at each other. :)

Lexi just started crawling recently. Sometimes when she gets excited, like when Mr. S comes home from work, she flops like she's trying to swim instead of crawling to him. It's really cute. She loves to eat foods that she can feed herself, like rice puffs and teething biscuits, and dislikes carrots.

She likes to grab things she shouldn't grab now, which is pretty entertaining. Today she grabbed Mr. S's baseball hat, and I told her, "That's Daddy's hat." She replied, "Dada?" LOL
