Lucky number 7!

It was another snowy, cold day in Denver.  The sun has only come out once for about 15 minutes in the past couple days (yes, I know I should not be complaining- we have family in the north and midwest where the sun hasn't been out in far too many days to count).

I am pretty convinced the lack of vitamin D in Denver is why everyone is being so bitchy.  On the bright side though, the minute said people see orange or blue or hear the word "Broncos" the nice comes back!  Phew! We are definitely spoiled by our sun here, no doubt about it.

O had to do his night before the game work out inside.  Nike work out pants and baby wife beater.  Duh.  Happy Happy Day before the big game!  Wooo hoooo!!  Go Broncos!

Day 6!

What a great weekend it is!  Go Broncos Go!  

Did you think I would forget on this snowy, cold night?  Not a chance!  Bummed due to the weather O and I were not able to get out and hang with our friends... but we made due and it seemed a good fit with some teething issues today.  This is such a shitty process and we seem to have it a lot easier than what I have heard from other people's experiences, but still-  YIKES!  

O's appetite was not phased by his teeth today, but it did make him camera shy.  I couldn't catch a good one to save my life!  We discussed this while I was asking him to at least cheese and clearly he wanted me to post one of his most favorite pictures....  I will leave you with this awesomeness.

2.

expressing or actuated by gratitude: a grateful letter.

3.

pleasing to the mind or senses; agreeable or welcome; refreshing: a grateful breeze.

I have so much to be grateful for in my life.  Crazy how easy (sometimes) it is to lose track of that. A big thanks to my incredible husband not just today, but all days.....   He makes sure I have time for me...  with friends, yoga or trips.  

I spent the day today with great friends and got my sweat on in yoga.  The dudes had boy night round 2 tonight.  Last night Joe took O to chill with his buddy Freddy and his cat Timmy.  Here is a most excellent video of O & Timmy:

And tonight, my sweet boys eating out at difranco's .  Couldn't love them more.  

Waiting for my homemade Lamb gnocchi!  

This is how we roll!

Day 4 in pics & stuff...

Today was a productive and beautiful day all around!  

O and I spent the morning together eating, playing and babbling...  I think his first word may be DOG.  

Right now is seems comforting that it wont be F***!  ;)

However, it is a tad troublesome his "dog" kind of sounds like "cock" sometimes.... true story.  I will currently blame it on the fact his sippy cups need to be straw cups...  Apparently in the speech therapy world this is why he is talking Mike Tyson-ish.  Getting straw cups stat!  

O got a special delivery from Miami today-  fun hats!  He had just gotten home from chillin' with his friend Freddy, so tomorrow we will play more.  Thank you Mariam!

Ok, nigh nigh!  

Day 3 in pics and stuff

I tried to catch a couple great pics this morning of our little Ninja, but these days he doesn't hold still so well. Seems his teeth are not hurting as much as they did yesterday, thank goodness.

Tonight as we hit bedtime this is what happened....

It is hard work for a ninja to wrangle his own stuffed ninja and the alligators that are within the blanket.  You can see he succeeded with only a couple "scrapes". haha

I personally had a really weird day.  No reason to go into it or try to make any sense out of it.  However, oddly enough this quote was brought to my attention and couldn't have been any more fitting:

"Great minds have purposes; little minds have wishes.  Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them."  Washington Irving 

Day 2 in pics & stuff...

Today was a cold, snowy day in Denver.  This equals boring for O.  I am glad we were able to get out yesterday and enjoy the 55 degree sun.  

His teeth seem to really be bothering him this evening, so- organic sugar free Popsicle, "Surf's Up" and a eucalyptus steam bath are on the treat menu.  Dinner menu is grilled steak bites, homemade beef & veggie stew and pesto tortellini.

Enjoying the "treat" part of the night!

Surf's Up!  

PS-  At his one year check up with Dr. Bryan, O weighs 26 pounds and is 31 inches long.  Not a small child at all.  haha  

A picture a day & review...

This week I have decided to post a picture each day.  There may be no content, but the pictures are really the best.  I just looked at the calendar and cannot believe how quickly January is sneaking by.  

I also wanted to write a quick review on a planner I just ordered from Erin Condren.  First of all it is really flipping cool.  Secondly, it is also very overwhelming.  haha  I am starting to find a groove with it, but still at a loss on the most effective way for me to organize the days the way MY brain sees it.  If you haven't checked her products out, I highly recommend it.  If you use her planner and have any ideas or helpful hints of what you do, I would LOVE to hear them!  For now, this is what my calendar is looking like:

And last, but not least some before bedtime shenanigans with O!  ;)
