Happy First Birthday Tristan Duda - Blog #131

Today at 4:20am my sweet little nephew Tristan was born! 

I remember seeing him for the first time, so tiny.

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

Love, Uncle Dusty, Auntie Tanara, Taye And Fayth!

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

Well today already feels like it should be over but its only 5pm. I've already almost been up for 12 hours, and I cant honestly say I'm pretty stink-en tired! 

I do have to say that Tristan was such a sweet little angle today, all he wanted to do all day is play with me and Fayth. Which of course Fayth loves :) 

Her Shirt Says "50% Mommy & 50% Daddy = 100% Cute"

And lastly here's a few photos of my handsome little nephew :)

We were waiting for his Daddy to come get him after work, and he fell asleep on the chair all cuddled up with his bottle! Isn't he just such a little sweetie pants!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read :)

I hope you all have a lovely evening!!

Today was such a long day, we had so much to get done.

Went to the bank, which for some reason always seems to be super busy when I have to go in :) 

Went and spent a ton on food, which i can never complain about, I love food! 

After that we stopped at my mother in laws house, had a nice visit. Fayth loves running around Grandmas house, and of course Grandma spoilt her and gave her a box of Dora The Explorer Fruit Snacks, which of course she loves :)


We still had to go into RD to go to Walmart and visit my Dad :)
We finally got home at 4pm, Made dinner, cleaned up and finally relaxed.


Should probably get ready for bed soon, have an early 5:30am wake up!
