Brody's First Halloween!

Halloween was way to much fun. We did the usual Halloween activities...Family all together at my sisters,carved pumpkins,Made spider shirts, baked pumpkin seeds(burned them), ordered pizza & went Trick or Treating! We just took Brody around my sisters culdesac, just to get a little taste. : ) He strolled in the Stroller with his princess Jasmine Cousin going door to door and screaming at every "scary guy" she saw. Too funny. Here are some pics! Cant wait for the HOLIDAYS!! WOO!!

This is his spider shirt we made out of his hand prints... He grabbed the shirt with his wet hands, so his spiders looked like hairy tarantulas. : )

 

Crazy thing called Life.

So you know when I have no time to post for over a month and a half, that life is pretty much crazy! From my last 5 month post, we have been Busy! Every weekend in September we were up at my In-laws house getting the back yard together for Bink & Helena's Wedding reception. We went to their bachelor/bachelorette party on the 25th of September. That was Brody's first time away from Ma-Ma! My Mom watched him for the night. Good thing the party was right down the street because I had to go back home every 3 hours to feed him. Yep, he still doesn't take a bottle. ( I don't think he ever will )

The next weekends were filled with getting everything ready and DONE for the reception! Then we were off to Vegas on October 10th! Brody's first 4 hour car ride and trip out of state! We had so much fun and were so glad we were able to go ! It was Cody's first time to Vegas too, haha. Then the 16th we had their Reception! It was so much fun and so beautiful! I love backyard weddings! They are so beautiful yet so homey!
This past weekend was our first weekend off in a long time! And what did we do NOTHING! Haha. I was actually sick, so it worked out perfect! This weekend is Halloween and I'm oh so excited! I'm getting very excited for the Holidays! Brody's first Holidays! I remember thinking when I was pregnant, I cant wait for the holidays and spending them with my Little boy! Now that it is just around the corner I want to soak everything in, hopefully with lots of pictures!

Since my last post was Brody's 5 months Ill just add his 6 months here!  : )
6 Months is such a fun age. He grabs things constantly, knows what he wants and his little personality is starting to shine. He is such a sweet but at the same time Crazy boy! He loves to bang his toys on anything , he loves the loud noise his hands can make. Also, he can sit in his chair and watch Backyardigans and Blues Clues and start crack up laughing at what they are doing. Little boy melts my heart!
6 months 18 pounds.

7 months will be here in 2 weeks! Where is the time going??

Cody's Chicken Delight.

I don't know what this meal is called, so for us it's Cody's Chicken Delight! My mom makes this, and its Cody's all time favorite food. (and it might be mine too) Its easy and delish!

Ingredients:

White Rice

One can of creme of mushroom soup

One cube of creme cheese

One Italian seasoning packet

3 chicken breast pieces

This makes 4 servings, 2 servings in our house because Cody has to finish it... haha..
The more people,just double the recipe!

Put thawed chicken in crock pot and cook on high for and hour. Then add Italian seasoning and cook for 20 min... You can throw everything in there and let it cook for hours, I just have always done it this way.

After 20 min, add soup & creme cheese!

Doesn't look to appetizing, haha but trust me :)

Let cook for an hour or 2 depending on if the crock pot is on high or low.

Everything will mix on its own and the chicken will shred apart when done!

And lay it on a bed of white rice!

Bon appetit!

Cody finished his, then on to mine!

MMM MMM good!

Enjoy,

xoxo, tal

Labor Day Weekend is here!

Labor Day weekend is here! Whooo! Cody has the WHOLE weekend off, yes! My most favorite weekends! The baby is napping, Ive got dinner in the crock pot, house is cleaned,  hair is still up in a huge mop on my head.. but that's okay : ) Just waiting for daddio to get home so we can start our weekend! Tonight I think we are layin' low , dinner at home, maybe a movie! Oooo. Tomorrow Cody insists he stays at home and plays games all day. (Yes, my husband is an addicted, game crazy, noodle head.) Don't judge. Haha... Hey its better than being out at bars all night right? Right... Anyways, Saturday, I want to find sometime to walk across the street (literally) to the mall and take back a dress I got last weekend for my brother in laws wedding next month. It just didn't hit the spot.. I found another, better one, I reaaaallllllly like online, but just my luck the only store that has one around here is in Brea. Maybe Cody wouldn't mind a little (40 min) stroll , in the car of course down to Brea to pick it up? He might just shoot me. Haha, Ill let you know how that goes! And Sunday we are headed over to Cody's parents house to help get everything set up in the backyard for his brothers reception next month. We have tested some lighting out, and just that, it is already looking so pretty! I Cant wait to see it the night of the reception! : ) And Monday we are headed over to my parents house for an annual summer is over BBQ! Maybe Baby Brody will swim and of course Ill have lots of pics to share! : ) Well that is our Labor Day weekend here in this 100 degree weather. Hopefully Mother Nature says goodbye to summer this weekend also! Please Mama! Oop, I hear a baby.. until the next nap...

First and foremost..

I have a lot of things to blog about today, but first and foremost, is Baby Brody's play time! Yaaaay!
He is so much easier these days. Its fabulous! He can actually entertain himself while mom cleans, cooks, does laundry, puts on her face, takes pictures of him, blogs, or better yet .. SHOWERS! : ) Here is his latest and cutest play time..

4 months!

Here is the latest 4 month picture! I still need to find a 12 picture, picture frame!
I like to start from one month every time : )

One month..

Two months..

(One month to two months is the biggest difference!)

Three months...

And, drum roll...... Four months!!!!

He is just growing up so fast. He is almost 5 months old, and learning new things everyday.
Just a lil list of what he does these days...
I can't even put him down to play on his jungle gym anymore, the second I put him down he rolls over like lightning and then starts starts crying because he hates being on his stomach.. Haha, he is getting a little better about being on his stomach though!
He is also getting into toys now. He has learned how to use his hands to grab things, and then instantly into the mouth. He is still a little shaky but seems like he will be playing like no other in no time!
He sits up with little support!
He watches when Cody or I drink, he knows we are drinking something and opens his mouth and reaches like he wants some. He does the same thing with his bottle (such a nightmare). I'm trying to get him on the bottle so I can go to my brother and sister in law's Bachelorette & Bachelor party/wedding & reception (which is in one month) without being a total boob. Haha, but that's a totally different story in itself!
Anyways, he likes when he sees the bottle and wants it in his mouth, but the second he figures out I'm trying to feed him, all Hell breaks loose... Hopefully soon.. hopefully soon...



It's so fun watching him grow, and see the new things he learns everyday! It's very bittersweet. So cute and happy but a little sad he is growing up so quickly..

Hopefully I'll be back SOON!

Oh P.S. We found out today my sister is pregnant!!!!!!!! Whoooooo! So exited for her and the family! So happy Brody will have a cousin close to his age, let the good times roll! <3
