Jonah had his two month shots today. I think I had as much fun as he did…as in not any fun at all! But thanks to Tylenol he is now peacefully sleeping it off.

He weighed in at 12 lbs 13 oz and 23.5 inches long. The doctor said he is a very well proportioned baby.

We were able to be there on Sunday for Cody’s farewell (Ukraine here he comes!) and also for Taylor’s eagle court of honor (CONGRATS Taylor! He’s only 14!). Now all the boys in the family are eagle scouts!

And yes, I did know that Nick was an eagle.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who came!
And a BIG THANK YOU to my Mom and Sister for putting it all together…Nicole prepared some of the most creative baby shower games ever!
I don’t know enough people here in Maryland to be able have a baby shower so this meant a lot to me.

I recently lost twelve inches of hair…






It’s been on my list of things to do before I die for quite some time now and I finally got up the guts to part with my long hair and donate it to locks of love.

Jonah’s room is finally complete! With lot’s of help from Grandma and Grandma, it looks amazing!

The blue dresser was a curbside find, with some new drawer pulls and blue paint, it looks good as new. The rocking chair I got off craigslist for $25. The big leaf over the chair, pictures on the wall and the rug are from Ikea. Border from walmart.

Curtains and crib skirt were sewn by Grandma Julie…very cute. Crib was found on craigslist (originally $900 canadian designer Morigeau Lepine, love it! Got it for 1/4 of that!)

Painting was done by Grandma Woodbury…who knew she was such an artist?! She took a picture from a magazine and duplicated the tree…so cute.

My sister took up quilt making and gave me her very first one! This quilt inspired all the colors in the room!

My Mom found the changing table on the curb…great find!

Grandma Julie sewed a changing table pad, using fabric to match the quilt. Plus she found the perfect baskets to put on it!

And this is Nick’s panoramic view of the room…hard to do without a fisheye lense!

And a special thanks to one amazing visiting teacher, Tiffany, who let me borrow her sewing machine AND donated a crib mattress to me!

All in all, I pretty much did nothing in this room…so THANK YOU!!! to everyone!!!
And I’m pretty sure Jonah likes it too…

Taking a bath with Grandma before church.

This is the first bath he has not screamed his way through…he actually seemed to enjoy it!




Grandma Julie!
