CJ's First Steps!

Yesterday, CJ took his first steps. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. He was so proud. He took two steps then yelled to make sure I was looking. Of course the second I got the camera out, he fell. I did manage to get a video of him taking steps later that I will post. I'm so proud of my little schmoopy. I'm not going to lie, I cried. Craig came home last night and put CJ in front of him and told him to come to him and he did. I promptly burst into tears. Its just overwhelming how fast he is growing. I know everyone says that but it really is true. By next week he'll be running around like he owns the joint. He does pretty much run the joint already. Did anyone else break down crying when their baby took their first steps or am I just a giant mushball? Pin It

What's going on?

I just thought I'd update with a few new endeavors I've got going on in my life.

First, we just got a new puppy. Why we decided it was a good idea to say yes when a friend offered her pug, I don't know. He's a little rambunctious but completely adorable. The hubby is calling him a Dutch Mastiff because it makes him feel better about himself.

Next, I'm planning CJ's first birthday party. We decided to go with a Sesame Street theme. I don't want to buy anything. I want to try to craft it all from stuff I already have. We'll see how that goes.

I know I mentioned in another post, plus there is a banner above, that I am selling Barefoot Books. I absolutely love these books. They're beautiful, the stories are great, and they support moms. Plus they are from Concord MA which is just a bit away from me. I'm going to try to post about one book that they offer once a week here on this blog. I'll probably have a few giveaways too.

Finally, I'm going to be a baby sign language instructor! I'm so excited about this. I'll be working with My Smart Hands which is founded and run by Laura Berg. I'll also be posting on here a "sign of the week" as well as links to the website I'll use to post class schedules and availability.

So I'm really excited for all these changes. I hope you will all enjoy them right along with me. Pin It
