My Little Boy

Christian Orion is two.  It doesn't seem the least bit possible, but here is the cake to prove it.  :) Cars of course.  What else?

TWO

Our little Christian Orion is two years old today.  How did this happen?  Wasn't he just like this?

I love this picture

 

 

And in what seemed like a blink of an eye, he turned into this little boy.

 A little boy who has favorites and opinions and tantrums :)

Christian loves: 

Cars, trucks and choo-choos

Pizza & French fries

Going outside

His baby brother "Gee-gee"

The movie Cars 

Tools and fixing things

Music videos

Balloons

Shoes (he must get this from me)

Helping with anything

Christian has no love for:

Getting his hair combed

 Getting his hair washed...ok anything with the hair

Meat of any kind

Pasta

Bedtime

Christian we can't wait to see how much you change and amaze us this year.

Love, Mama & Daddy

Almost.....30!

So its almost here.  The big 3-0.  I've gone back and forth trying to figure out what I want for my birthday.  Chris has asked me so many times...Its hard when you can't really fit into anything because I almost always want clothes, or a purse or jewelry.  None of those will work this year.  Too big for clothes, too depressing to buy maternity clothes, I have to carry a diaper bag, so no use for a purse and I don't end up wearing too much jewelry right now...SO what to ask for??? Did I mention I'm turning 30???! I imagined myself laying in a pool in Las Vegas with a mojito!  Oh so sad....

After some serious internet searching, think I finally figured it out.  Home decorating stuff! I love to decorate.  I've been wanting to finish up the last projects at my house since before Christian was born and what better time to do in than when I will be spending A LOT of time in my house once baby #2 arrives.  ( I have a feeling me and these walls are going to be very good friends) I know it would make me very happy to see my bedroom done, and my pantry finished and it would be a good time to get it done before baby arrives.

I've put together a list of the things I want to find and make so if you'd like to donate... :) haha!  I'll share here what I get and what my ideas are.  A few before and after pictures too.  I'm so excited!

Love, Nicole (still 29 for now!)

Birthday presents come early!

Today this birthday present from Mimi and Papa in Oklahoma came early!  Since it was too big to wrap, we let the little guy try it out early. 

He loves it! He keeps leaning his head back and saying, "ahh."  Like he is so comfortable now after that year of sitting on the floor :)

Here he is:
