The boys having fun…while Mami has fun!

 

Lately, I have had some commitments and fun things to do with my friends so Daddy has gotten to spend some time with the boys.  This is a bit of a mishmash, but you get the idea…

A favorite activity is bowling.

So cute!

Oh, the excitement…but boy does that ball move SLOW!

Daddy got to hit up the birthday party scene.

Daddy likes those parties though because he gets to jump too!

We hosted a baby shower for our friend Jessica at the house.  With lots of yummy things besides goldfish and juice boxes.  =) 

Jessica and Jace with her hostesses!

The Mami’s from our breastfeeding group.  So nice that we all still get together, even if it’s only occasionally!

Even though it was last minute, our La Leche League group hosted “The Big Latch On” during World Breastfeeding Week.  We managed to book the library (a little drama there because at first the secretary said she didn’t know if we could host our even there because *gasp* we would be breastfeeding and people might look in the windows!  Luckily, the library director knew better and let us have the room without further issue) and get the word out in less than one month.  Moms signed in as they arrived.

Little Luca all cozy in my sling!

Moms with babies latched on to be counted for the national simultaneous breastfeeding count.

I was going to be happy with 10 moms showing up. I was ecstatic when we had 28 moms, more than 40 people at our first ever event.  Woo-hoo!  Way to go Brevard County!

With Gloria and Jess – my lovely BF support friends!

Boys Weekend with Daddy

This Memorial Day weekend was a HUGE milestone for our family. I left Paul and the boys and went on a girls weekend!!! It was the first time that I have ever left my family and I agonized over it from the second I bought the ticket to Panama City Beach, FL. It was heart wrenching to leave, but such an exhilarating/relaxing/reconnecting weekend and I'm so glad I did it.

Meanwhile, I told Paul he had to take pictures of every second, and being the amazing husband he is....he actually did! So this is what the boys were doing while Mami was doing this:

Just one of the many great moment during my girls weekend....you'll see more in my next post. =)



BOYS WEEKEND 2010
(does this mean there will be a 2011 one too....hope so!)

After dropping Mami off at the airport, they went to Red Robin (Sebastian's favorite restaurant) for dinner.

They both fell asleep in the car on the way home.

My poor baby didn't know what to do with himself at first. He walked around the house searching for me and signing "milk." But it didn't last too long once he saw his brother and Daddy having fun.

Then he started to get happier!

Feeding the ducks.

Checking out the Fair that's going on down the street.

He even managed a dinner time picture! Wow! I think meals are the hardest part of being alone with the kiddos. I left Paul everything planned out, cut up and in containers to make it a little easier and make sure that everyone actually ate!

Baths!

Shopping at Target to kill time.

Daddy went to the splash pad too....not sure who they were posing for though...

Go Gators!

Making a project for Mami. I love the tongue as he concentrates.

Last naps before Mami comes home!

Such a happy (and tearful!) reunion with Sebastian!!!

Matteo on the other hand...he was MAD!!!! So mad, he wouldn't come to me and when I tried to pick him up he ran for his Daddy! In about 10 minutes he came around and immediately wanted to nurse, but still wouldn't even look at me. Finally, he came around, but wow! My mom says I used to do the same thing when I was a kid too...

So happy to be back with my family! Three cheers for SUPER DADDY/HUSBAND! I am so glad that they had fun and I did too!
