Happy First Birthday Tristan Duda - Blog #131

I remember how happy his Mommy & Daddy were to have him home.

Tristan sweety, I hope you know how truly loved you are by so many different people, you are such a sweet little boy and I am so excited to watch you grow and become the little man you were meant to be.

So Happy Very First Birthday Bud

Car Seats

Hey everyone! So we have been talking about this for quite some time. We have an old black graco carseat, its a great carseat I bought it new from BabiesRUs in 2008. The only problem, its huge bulky and not as supportive as we would like for Fayth.

So we've been looking into new carseats and I want your opinion! 

The  First One I'm really interested in is the 

Saftey 1st Alpha Omega 3-in-1 Carseat - Dixie $126.84

-Rear-facing Infants: Birth to 1 year (5-40lbs) (19"-36")

-Forward Facing: 1 to 4 1/2 years (22-65lbs) (29"-52")

-Booster: 4 1/2- +years (40-80lbs) (40"-52")

-Side Impact Protection

-Energy absorbing EPP foam head rest

-Quick Fit Harness

-5-Point Harness 

-Removable, Washable Seat pad

-3 position recline

-Removable head rest

-Cup holder fits bottles, juice box's & Sippy cups 

Second is one of my favourite, but a little more expensive. (almost x2 the first)

I got to watch my handosme little nephew, we played and crawled around, built castles, he even cuddled with me on the couch for a little while :) 
Then he fell asleep in my arms so I laid him down on the nursing pillow.

 Isn't he just so sweet! Aweee!!

Little Miss was grumpy all day, You see that face below? Thats the face i had to deal with all day because her teeth continue to move up and down, and it makes it  hurt for her to eat, and well lets face it my girl loves to eat.

And Taye built this wicked awesome tower that's super tall, he did it all on his own without any help from me at all. Crazy how big and smart he is, he always makes us laugh, such an amazing little boy

We just had a nice relaxing day at home, nothing to exciting. It's really cold outside so there really isnt any reason to be frozen our bums out there lol! 

I dont have much time today to write anything and it doenst help i only get to "borrow" internet once in a blue moon :)

Wow I cannot believe its Feb 1 already!! Only 13 More Days to go until Tayes birthday!

 I got to watch my handsome little nephew again today! Such a nice little treat to have him around for Fayth to play with! Not to mention hes a total sweet heart! 

 Were really starting to think about Tayes party and what were going to do, and we defiantly need to go grab his birthday stuff :) I cannot believe he's going to be four, and I cannot believe that Fayth is already going to be 13 months old so soon! Where has the time gone.

 Fayth has been dealing with her cousin being over allot better than i thought, she isnt showing any sort of jealousy or any anger about me watching him.

 Taye and Fayth are so cute together, they are honestly the cutest kids ever (yes I know im bias)

Hey everyone, well i really want to keep up with my blog, so even though were all terribly sick and tired I'm still going to write a post.


I woke up this morning just feeling like garbage, I dont understand why. I felt amazing yesterday, energetic, everything and now, well now im tired and fell like poo and I have so much to do before this birthday party.


This always seems to happen to me, I always seem to get sick right before i have something big i have to do grrr.


Hopefully I feel better tomorrow

Wow I cannot even believe that Fayth is going to be a whole year old in three days. A year ago today I remember just being in utter discomfort. I was having on and off contractions, she was full engaged in my pelvis (which let me warn you does not feel nice, worse when it was from 32 Weeks along), And I was 9 days over due. Planning a birthday party for our little princess hasn't been an easy ordeal, we have had mix ups with dates and times and just trying to get everything organized so I wont be a grumpy mess on the day of her party lol.

I've gotten most the house work and preparations ready, all thats left is to decorate, make Cupcakes (which i really hope turn out ok) and grab a few last minute items.
