little owlie

I'm not sure where my obsession with owls came from, but I love them!





And he has 3 other owl outfits, 2 pairs of socks and shoes, and a few burp cloths... and some cute earrings and rings for me from Francesca's!

my little chubbs

I started this post the other day with  "I honestly don't know how the other moms find time to post on here - I can barely find time to eat or shower, let alone check email and pay bills!"  And what do you know?  I'm just now coming back to finish it!

It's been a busy month - We've had quite a few outings to the mall, restaurants, College Station, my school, visits from all the grandparents, and as many walks we could fit in during those few cool days, before the mosquitos invaded!  I'm not sure if they are bad where you live, but they are EVERYWHERE around here!  It is completely disgusting, and I'm dreading walking to the mailbox even though I know I've had a package in there from Baby Gap for a few days - not getting 10 more bites outweighs looking at the sale stuff I ordered for sure.

Mr. Chubbs will be 8 weeks tomorrow - weighing in at 13 lbs., 15 ounces!  He is such a happy baby, and has started major smiles and giggles in the last 2 weeks.  From the time he was born, he would do this little chuckle when he was drifting off to sleep, and we felt very special if we were holding him when it happened.  It has now turned into full out belly laughs and just cracks us up.  Our only struggle is that we're still trying to figure out his night time schedule - if he goes to bed between 8 and 9, do we wake him up to eat again or not?!  Ugh!  Last night he slept from about 10:30 PM - 4:30 AM, so I know he can do it, but then I guarantee tonight he'll wake up every 2-3 hours, and I don't know if I can lay there and let him cry for a while or not, decisions decisions!

Our biggest excitement around here is a new computer - my Dell lap top had the screen go out, and it was going to be pretty pricey to fix, so we've moved over to the Mac world.  I must say they have some amazing things on this computer, but I'm still trying to figure it out!  I'll hopefully be putting a video and some pics below - I hope it works!!




We went to College Station a few weekends ago while Matt was on a hunting trip... and oh my, my parents dog Skippy was OBSESSED with Braden!  He was a good baby sitter :)





Granna and Big Daddy with Mr. Chubbs!



Out for a walk on a chilly morning - a win win for both of us!


Ohhh how I love this little face :)



Ok, It looks like my video won't upload - if anyone has tips, please let me know! :)
