Finally Fall!

The Phillies are the NL East Champs, 

the grocery store is selling mums &

Mr. Baby wore his first article of little tiny

outerwear yesterday.

I guess it's officially Fall!! 

I am beyond ready for cool days, crunchy leaves &

PUMPKINS!

Lots going on here in the next few days -

College alumni event, 

True Prep event/signing at Vineyard Vines

Little English warehouse sale.

Lots to blog about SO I promise I will! 

The Colonel (aka my Father)

Just arrived after a long trek from the

Greeeeat North East & we're going to 

go grab a bite to eat.

Have a fab rest of the week!!

Bee Good!!

The last few weeks & 4 month stats

Well hello there!

Where did the Summer go!? 

I can't believe school is back in session

& that Fall is just around the corner.

We've been pretty busy here at our hive...

Mister Baby is growing exponentially, he goes to 

Parents Day Out twice a week since I am back to work 

(very part time,)

he's drooling like a faucet, 

showing everything in his mouth, loving his 

jumperoo & loves any and every 

mirrored surface in the house!

Here are a few pictures from the last couple weeks-

squeaky clean

Baby blue eyes

GO GAMECOCKS!

so happy!

hmmm....

who's that baby?

This one was Monday on his 4 month birthday!

So, we tried solid food yesterday...

Neither rice cereal or applesauce were a hit.

He made some amazing facial expressions in disgust               

(which I do have on video)

We'll try that again in a week or so.

He took his first nap in his crib this afternoon. 

I was glued to the video monitor the entire time

but was very excited that it was an actual nap!!

Mr Baby Stats:

16 lbs and 25 inches

wearing 3-6 month clothes

just bought our first box of size 3 diapers

 While diaper shopping, 

the saleslady at the baby store found a 

single random newborn diaper on the shelf & asked

me if I could tell what size it was. 

As I pointed out the NB on the front, 

I nearly teared up! 

:(

I can NOT believe that those actually used to 

fit him!!

Geeez 

AND 

I still can't swallow

that 18 weeks ago I didn't even have a baby!!

That said, 

My blogging time is over for the day. 

The bouncy seat has lost it's thrill &

the live in entertainer (me)

is being summoned.

Bee good!

Birthday fun & the Tervis goes to....

Friday night I had a fabulously fun dinner party

for my 30th birthday.

(Even though the big day wasn't actually until Saturday)

I sent out this Lilly invitation from Cocodot-

The food was delish &

The champagne was flowing.. 

(& floating)

Mister baby was such a good sport.

After visiting with everyone, 

he then opted to doze off for a bit

& let us celebrate! 

I was not allowed to put the candles on my own cake

but whoever did.... ahem... decided to be a comedian!

hahaha!

The party was great time with great friends!

Funny, I don't feel any older.

This 30 stuff isn't all that bad after all.

(so far)

Bye bye 20's & hello three oh!

Today is the last day of my 20's.

(sob...)

It's been a pretty great decade though.

So many great memories,

 in fun places with wonderful friends.

We're busy preparing for a little 

"night before the big day" 

dinner party.

Now that I think about it, 

this is actually my first dinner party.

I mean I have had parties  (ha, oh have I ever!) 

but not so much a sit down, 

use my wedding china,

(which is fabulous & monogrammed, duh) 

"dinner party."

I will take pics & let you know how it goes 

after a full recovery 

from tonight & the big day itself.

Mister Baby is calling me- have to run!!

Don't forget to enter my 

Tervis giveaway!!!

Bee good!!

It's like this & like that & like this & uh...

Happy boozeday 

I mean Tuesday!

(wow, too much Kathie Lee & Hoda for THIS girl)

DR is on vacation this week!

We're planning on taking a day trip.

Close & fun are the only 2 criteria.

Oxford, MS 

has been suggested by almost everyone who

I pestered polled for places to go 

so 

I think that will be our destination.

Neither of us have been there before &

it's about an hour & a half away so that should be fun!

Mister baby hit the 3 month mark last Friday!

We had the regular photo shoot 

with his pal the gorilla in his nursery.

Here are some of the keepers:

I am proud to say he's a full fledged 

"supported sitter"

I don't CARE what Gerber says 

about that happening at 4 mos- 

my child is advanced, OK?

(smirk)

He's taken the Bumbo chair for a test drive 

& gave it 2 thumbs up. 

(Ok one was sort of up the other partially in his mouth.... 

but you get it)

He is a spit bubble machine & is profoundly enamored

with any and all variety of 

ceiling fans.

DR thinks perhaps his first word may actually be

"fan."

Oh yeah, 

he's been catching up on the latest blogs too-

Maybe he'll do some online shopping this week

 for a fab birthday present for his

favorite Mommy!?

T minus 4 days 

(eeeeee!)
