The Return of Fridays HOT LIST.

I am so excited to be bringing back Friday's HOT LIST in Twenty-Thirteen.

I just KNOW there will be tons of HOT items for review throughout the year and I hope you all follow along each week (or as often as I remember).

Happy Friday Readers.

Hunter.

-Hunter is learning so much each month and that's in huge part to some awesome toys he got for Christmas. His FAVORITE toy is Baby Einstein Discovering Music Activity Table from Grandma & Grandpa Goold. He can't go more then an hour (except when he is sleeping) without playing some tunes. He loves to watch the big sun light up and he has finally mastered turning the page. Great toy for sitting infants!

- We purchased some Ikea baby plates, bowls, silver wear and cups. Inexpensive and perfect for little Hunter who is starting to eat big boy food! 

Mommy.

-Got some hot new HEELS this weekend. I got a $50 gift card to DSW shoes for Christmas and it took me TWO trips before I found the perfect pair! Its been difficult lately to find good shoes that fit (yes, coming from the lady who has 80+ pairs of shoes) 6.5 can be too small but 7's slip off. Solution: buy a size 7 with a strap. PERFECT. 

Can't wait to wear them! 

- Ordered a new brush this weekend also. Went into the Bare Minerals store last Friday (WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE [that's another post]) and the lady showed me this blending brush that I HAD to have. Of course they were sold out so I ordered this week and it should be here by next Wednesday. 

Daddy.

-Dad has a nightly ritual (and several times during the day) to apply chap stick. With this nasty DRY weather this Blistex Five Star Protection has been the best chap stick so far. 

-Kevin got a Blu-Ray player for Christmas and it has been so fun to catch up on all the movies that have come out since Hunter was born (we haven't been to a movie in SEVEN months) from the comfort of our own home. WAY better then the theater.

Seven Months with HunterEdward.

Can it be possible I have a Seven month old? 

Each month is passing by so quickly and I barely have time to savor each precious moment. 

Our little baby is becoming a little B0y right before our eyes! 

Here's to the next Seven months and more.

Happy SEVEN Months Hunter Edward.

(Seven Month Photo Shoot Bloopers)

At SEVEN months old...

-I am eating lots of baby food and even a few CHERRIO'S 

(only half Cherrio's because mom is scared I'll choke) 

{wish Grandpa were here to give me WHOLE cherrio's and Animal Crackers}.

-My diapers are MUCH fuller these days and its funny to watch dad TRY to figure it out.

-I am still sleeping through the night.

-I am learning new things EVERYDAY.

-I am talking TONS. Lots of "Ma-ma", and "Da-da" and "Ba-ba" sounds.

-I love my jumper toys. 

-I will put ANYTHING in my mouth.

-I love when mom reads to me.

-I can FINALLY hold my bottle all by myself.

-I still take 3 naps a day. It's pretty nice.

-I am VERY attached to my mother. She's my favorite.

home for the holidays. part iii

the final installment of my "home for the holidays" posts.

i could go into novel like details of all the fun things we did while we were home, 

but it's getting late, I'm tired and need to shower before i head to bed.

so, tonight you will get the picture book version to wrap up our holiday home.

enjoy.

Hunter met lots of friends for the first time over the holiday. 

Megan & Cameron. They are Models by the way.. like real life live in New York City models.

Heather Feather Wendell. I miss this lady SO much.

Jelly Belly Factory Tour Day.

Date to the Sacramento Temple. We were married there... 

almost TWO years ago.  

Just hanging out being the CUTEST kid ever.

Matching Carhart Day with Grandpa.

Best Buds.

 Pedicure Day with the ladies.

My Grandma = the rockin-est lady EVER.

 Kisses for Auntie Haley.

So delicious. Kevin & I have tried to duplicate this deliciousness at home. Haven't mastered it yet.

A family that puzzles together, stays together. Took us 3 hours! 

 Trip to see Grandpa Smith and Bev and hear some family history stories.

(I'll be posting more about this side of the families history as I've been put in charge of putting together a "book" about it. 

Kinda of excited.)

Take Hunter to the Insta-Care in Sacramento the day before we came home.
