October in the 505

October is a great month to live in the 505.

First morning of the fiesta we walked to the park// Remi's first balloon experience // hot air balloon // spotting balloons from the backyard

Having a little chat // my handsome men // holding his head up // addy reading to Remi

Cousins 4 months apart // thinking about rolling over // addy likes to be as close to me as possible while I nurse Remi // bundled up to watch the balloons

Last weekend of the fiesta with Uncle Perry and Aunt Nic // my brother and my babies // Remi and Dad // keepin warm

Girlfriends at the park // hello playful // such a good helper // me and my bot

bed head // bath time for Remi // girls night out // me and my kiddos

selfie // mamaw and her great grand kids // fall painting // getting ready for Halloween

Remi and I usually spend the early mornings together and he used to always fall asleep so easily in the quiet. He doesn't do this much anymore

Grandma Jo came to visit, Remi was his charming self

My "little cooker" and Remi the Rat from Ratatouille 

Remington is 3.5 Months Old

Our (big) little guy turned 3 months old.... 3 weeks ago. Oops! I'm a little behind. Better late than never though right?

You can't look at this picture without smiling.

Even though I'm tardy with my post, these pictures were actually taken on the day he turned 3 months old and since then I've been keeping a few notes about him on my phone: 

 He is constantly kicking his socks off

He's become my little buddy and I secretly love how he's the happiest with me

He wakes up in the best mood, cooing and making cute little noises from his crib

He's trying really really hard to roll over but he's not quite there yet

This cute little sign used to be my Dad's. He recently passed it on to Remi, his name sake. Kayo was my Dad's nickname growing up and it's Remi's middle name.

Gotta love that slobbery smile!

Happy 3 months big guy!

Saturday in the 505

Saturdays are my favorite.

Saturdays, especially Saturdays in the Fall, are great because Matt is home and we get to spend time together as a family either making robot costumes, watching balloons or going to the park.

Today, our Saturday morning lead us to the Zoo.

In search of some food to take on a picnic to the Zoo, we wound up at the Downtown Growers Market, which is small and quaint this time of year.

Matt and I got burritos and Addy ordered a chocolate croissant.

Feeding the ducks was the first thing on Addys list of must do's once we got to the zoo.

We brought our double stroller but Addy preferred to ride on Dad's shoulders. These two were quite the pair.

Remi was warm and cozy in the stroller and tried to get a few cat naps in.

After the polar bears, we had a little picnic and Addy played peek a boo behind the tree.

In the midst of this peek a boo game, I realized my little lady isn't so little anymore. 

This thought was even more confirmed when we went to the playground and she climbed up to the top all by herself.

"Momma this is so much fun!"

We didn't leave the zoo until almost 2, much to the dismay of Adelyne. She fell asleep in the car right away and asked about the ducks again as soon as we got home.

Both kiddos refused to take a nap this afternoon, but that didn't ruin our day. They were probably afraid of missing out on the fun. I think they like Saturaays too.

P.S. I wrote this entire post on my phone! I recently discovered the Blogger app which means I might actually get more than one post up a month. There may be a lot more typos than usual and the format might be off but at least I found a way to document fun memories like the ones we made today :)

Six for Saturday

Since I can't seem to get a post finished these days, here's a combination of half finished Five for Fridays I've written this month:

1. You come up with fun, spontaneous activities to do with Addy on Saturday mornings like treasure hunts and robot costumes

2. Even when I don't ask you to, you find ways to give me a little break

3. "They may be a hand full sometimes but man, I love these kids."

4. The other day you expressed how much you love our life, I really like it too

5. You brought a new bottle of shampoo to me in the shower when you heard me struggling with the empty one

6. You're thankful for our friends, which reminds me to be thankful for them too

P.S. I love you :)

September in the 505

I've had this post sitting in my drafts folder for weeks and I finally found the time to finish and publish it. Life with two kids doesn't leave a lot of time for blogging :)

I've been hoarding quite a few pictures on my phone from this past month of cute little kiddos. I smiled to myself as I uploaded them on the computer today. I just love our little family and a phone full of goofy smiles and silly faces is an indicator of a good month.

Tummy Time // Gramps and Remi // Dancing in the puddles // Granmarie and Remi // 6 weeks // Addy and Gran // Papa and Addy // Pretty Little Lady // Whale Shirt!

Besties // Haircut Time // Really really dirty feet! // Cousin Tummy Time // Me and My Little Guy // Ah! Siblings // Dandelion // Chillin' // Sweet Sleeping Baby 

Hanging out is sissy's room // Goofing off with Dad // "I'm callin' Gran and Papa" // Our Little Football fans // Little Mister // Big Sister is a good helper // Brr! Getting Chilly // Brother and Sister // Fall Overalls

Even though this picture is blurry, it's a great example of how we usually eat breakfast; Addy in her highchair and Remi in the bouncer next to her.

Gotta love her sense of style; a necklace "to make me special," shades to go outside and mittens because the screen door was too hot to open.

Remi had his two month check up in September and weighed in at 12 lbs, 2 oz!

We had a Breaking Bad party to celebrate the end of the series.

That wraps up September. Can you believe we are already half way through October?!?

P.S. In case you're not overloaded with pictures from this post yet, here's another cute one I found of Gran and Remi from Labor Day weekend. So sweet!
