I should really be sleeping .......

I am exhausted. The night before last I hardly got any sleep and then last night Karina and I had Scrapbooking night after the kiddos went to bed. It was a blast and worth being sleep deprived today. :) Hopefully we will continue to do it on a regular basis.

Rudy was supposed to have today off, but yesterday someone called and asked him to cover a shift. It's always a bummer when he works on his day off, but that's just the way it goes. He didn't have to go in until later in the day so we at least got some time to hang out .... and I got to sleep in AND do a little shopping by myself. I had a roast in the crock pot all day which made the house smell delicious! I love an easy dinner.

Not much else to say, just pictures to share. Here you go!

What a cool box!! I wish I had one of those .....

Oh wait, I DO have one! (P.S. Cloth diapers are the cutest!)

I think I like the box better ....

Watching his baby sign language dvd!

Let me out!

And then he STOOD UP! I am NOT ready for this!

I adore this picture.

Lately when Ryder wakes up and cries for us, we go into his room and find this ....

Peek-a-boo! Usually he pulls it all the way down .... I am not sure if this is dangerous or not? I know the second he decides to stand up in his crib, the bumper will come off, but I am not sure if it's time yet.

A few days later ... still lovin' the box!

Homemade Organic Applesauce & Sweet Potatoes.

He always lays like this - halfway on his side with one leg up, it's so funny! Baby Pilates?

I hit the jackpot on Craigs List! Scored all these toys for $40. They are in great condition and would have cost SO MUCH more brand new! Some of them will be put away until he is a little older. We have been wanting to buy him the ball popper and the little music table thing (which is $40 alone, brand new). I am soooo happy we got such a great deal!

I finally got an Ergo baby carrier! It is sooo great! I have been wanting one forever and was waiting for babysteals to have them because I knew they were going to and full price they are kind of expensive. They finally had them on last week .... and what do you know, I bought one full price from another site instead. It was 107 degrees that day and I decided I HAD to have the "sport" version because it is made of a more breathable fabric than the regular ones. Babysteals only had regular. It came on Friday and I have used it every day since! Worth every single penny. Today I put Ryder on my back so I could clean the floors and within a couple minutes he was completely passed out. :) Any by the way, the picture totally freaks me out - my shoulder looks soooo weird!

I guess he thinks cleaning floors is boring ....

I couldn't let his head bob around like that and there is a "sleeping hood" but I couldn't reach far enough to pull it out .... so I was able to "dump" him on our bed and he stayed asleep. I had to stay nearby because I was afraid he'd wake up and fall off the bed!
