Boy from the South

That's an oldie but a really funny one.

Cheeks is starting to talk! Well he only says two words. Dada and bye. He sounds like a little guy from the south when he says bye. It is so funny! Baa as he is waving. It is so funny. He also yells dada when he is trying to get Sean's attention. Not surprised at all that he is going to be a chatty one!


I have begun the party planning! I have started on the birthday banner. Well designing it on the computer at least. It is taking forever especially since I can't sit and do it all at once.

How cute is that cake! I want to make a cake similar to that one. It fits into our theme. The theme for Cheeks birthday is hot coco and marshmallows. Doesn't that cake look like a giant marshmallow with chocolate poured on top? I figured since it is winter we needed a winter theme. If you have any other great ideas please share!

Uh Oh....

So I think Cheeks is going to be walking soon. He really wants too. He pulls himself up on everything and is running around while holding on to his train all the time. We are going to start baby proofing the house. I look around and our house feels like a death trap to me! There are so many things for him to pull down on top of himself. Tonight I think we are going to start rearranging everything. We already have no coffee table in the den but now we need to mount our TV to the wall and get rid of the tall bookcases next to the TV. I'll try to take some before and afters to post.

I have been wanting to redecorate my house for a while now. Right now it is a little contemporary and now want my house to look like you stepped into Anthropology. I have been researching and have found some great DIY projects to help with keeping the cost down of decorating. I just need to find the time to do it. I would LOVE to be able to get it all done before Luke's birthday so the house doesn't look like a total wreck.

Examples of what I want to do. So easy and cheap!







Oh and here is a link to something I want to make.

It's Friday and I'm in love

How could you not love that face? Another busy weekend ahead. I am so tired and have to work an event tonight as well as attend an engagement party afterwards. It's a good thing I love/ am related to this couple. The girl in this couple is Sean's cousin.

Sunday I am picking up Holly
(I haven't seen her in months!) and Marbury and we are going to Hissyfits where they are having a huge craft fair! It should be fun. I'm sure Marbs will find a ton. Hopefully there is a lot of cute boy stuff there for Cheeks. I did buy him a super cute pair of checkered velcro Vans today from Hissyfits. They were only 18 bucks! I also bought him a pair of Yo Gabba Gabba Vans online the other day too. Unfortunately those weren't as cheap.

I NEED to take some time this weekend and clean my mess of a house. I also need to start baby proofing more. Cheeks is totally about to start walking. I know it'll be before his first birthday. His balance is getting really good. The past few days he has let go to whatever he was holding and just stood there without falling. I'm not sure I am ready for him to walk.

Check out my Yoda and Ninja baby. Hahaha. He was so good about keeping his costume pieces on. I thought the ninja headband would have been ripped off but he kept it on. He wasn't too keen on trick or treating. All he wanted to do was get down and walk. I think we got like 5 pieces of candy. Pretty sure I lost a few carrying him around the whole time.
