Daddy Dressed Me!

This morning I left Lucas with Curt so I could go to a baby shower. By the time that I got home Lucas was napping and he didn't wake up until after Curt had left to go have some guy time with his friends. When I went to go get Lucas up I realized how hot it was in his room (thank goodness it rained today and it only got up to 87!!) we don't have central AC so Lucas has a window AC unit that Curt forgot to turn on. When Lucas stood up in his crib I couldn't believe what he was wearing... heavy sweat pants, a t-shirt, and then a romper that fit him last summer that was only on one shoulder. Lucas can't dress himself so I know Curt had something to do with his stylish outfit.

Thank You

Dear Grandma Andrea,

Thank you for my new shoes. They are the perfect fit!

.

Love,

Lucas

P.S. Thanks for the cute PJs and warm coats too.

Still in Last nights PJs and One Hour until Bed

Today we stayed with my Grandma today while my parents worked. Now that Lucas can get around more he was all over the place and in everything. He found a toy plastic hard hat and walked and crawled all over the house with it. I guess hard hats don't count.

Lucas HATES Hats

Shoes

I was wrong Lucas' brand spanking new shoes are the cutest ones ever:

Today I went out of the house wearing these shoes without realizing that they are two different colors. I don't think I even would have noticed except one of my friends was nice enough to point it out. That is what I get for leaving the house in a rush to go to Lucas' OT appointment and not looking down to see what shoes I was slipping on.

So Wrong...

yet so right! Jadie modeling Lucas' Halloween Costume.

This year Lucas is going to be Tigger. Him being Tigger is partly because my mom already bought him the Tigger costume bib months ago (and I am cheap) and partly because I don't want to just go out and buy some overpriced costume. I want to be one of those mom's that makes homemade costumes. Since this year I couldn't think of anything creative added to the fact that I really can't sew I made his tail and ears (I spent under $2 on everything.) I am really proud of the tail. It is made out of black and orange felt and hot glue. The ears I tried to make out of a foam visor and didn't come out quite how I was hoping. That is okay because it isn't like Lucas won't rip off the ears the first chance he gets.

My Husband the future Dad (mushy warning)

My husband has NEVER been great with birthdays, Christmas, and anniversary gifts. Oh, and forget Valentine's Day! It is not that he forgets (he always remembers) but he HATES to shop and says he never knows what to buy. When we first got married it used to upset me but then I had Lisa to tell me it can take some guys a while to grow their thoughtful gene! (She should know she lives with 7 males if you count their two cats and their dog).

Anyway, I've always overlooked that flaw because Curt overlooks PLENTY OF MINE! Well last night I pulled out the box of baby clothes that we have so far (half are what I have been buying since the first day I found out I was pregnant... minus the girl's clothes that I sold on eBay, and the other half have been given to me by Lisa, or Curt's sister Angela). Anyway as I was holding up the tiniest cutest little socks that Lisa had given me (baby feet are so tiny and ADORABLE!) Curt asked if he could put them in Lucas' dresser. He got all excited that I said "yes," and here I was thinking that I would have to show him during the commercials of whatever it was we were watching.

So we both go into the nursery and I separate them by size (0-3 months first drawer, 3-6 second drawer, and 6-12 3rd). He gently takes each one and folds it up and places it in the drawers, which by the way we have PLENTY of 0-3 months clothes... we could barely close the drawer! The other two drawers are closer to empty). After everything was folded to his standards (which by the way I've never seen him fold anything in my life now that I think about it!!) he got up and looked around the baby's room, hugged and kissed me and headed off to bed.

Which brings me back to how I started this... Curt may be bad at gifts on other holidays but every since we got married he has always done things for me on Mother's day... even though we didn't have kids! He would bring me home flowers and take me out to nice dinners and say "For the future mother of my children." So I have always overlooked that whole gift giving flaw because I know he'll be a great Dad and that just makes me love him even more.

My Mood : Excited!
