*Wayne's World, Wayne's World, Party.
My friend Katie's got a handful of weeks left of her maternity leave so we decided that while she's getting the hang of this whole mothering thing, we'd get together once a week to hang out. And since we all know that I'm not into joining mom groups or making other mom friends with women I meet in Target, I take any chance I can get with my actual friends that just happen to be moms. (Sidenote, I'm totes still bitter about that b never calling me).
I know, right? Teeny squishy baby? Although squeal-inducing, DOES NOTHING FOR MY OVARIES. I feel like every other mom out there with a kid Gabe's age is already talkin bout babe #2 (or even already knocked up with #2). I'm like uhhhh, yeah, maybe? Someday?
I did however, watch Nora, while Katie ran some errands and while it was only for a little while, I got a small taste of what it would be like with two kids. Whereas with Gabe as a newb, I barely put him down. When babe #2 shows up, you have no choice but to put them down so you can wrangle your toddler from jumping off the piano bench.
So when in doubt, bribe him with puffs. Non-moms, puffs are God's gift. Melt in your mouth crunchies that taste like cardboard.
We played our own version of People/US Weekly/Other trash magazine's "Who Wore It Better"? Kidding. Don't answer that. We just happened to dress our kids in matching outfits that day. Kinda cute. Oh and don't judge for the Dino-Mite Dude patch. I wish I could rip that shit right off the clothes. Although, it's better than mommy's little boyfriend or something else equally creepy.
Anyway, we propped these kiddos up next to each other to try to get a pic and while all my pics are blurry, the progression of Nora falling over is kinda hilarious.
NomNomNom
Timmmmmberrrrr
Heh. Cute, right? The photoshoot possibilities involving two kids *is* sorta tempting though. So maybe another kid. Maybe.
Meanwhile, you know what starts on Monday? Kim from Newly Woodward's annual Dare to DIY. This will be the third year I'm participating and I can't get enough of it. You should totally join in. DO IT.

Punning FCC FFA....is what my iPad auto corrected. Puuuuuuuuuuuufffffffffssssssssss. Is what I actually wrote.
First world problems.
I hear ya on the not being ready for another (and everyone I know who gave birth around the same time as me is preggo again or trying)... to be honest I don't know if I will ever consider another... I try not to tell people that though cause they get all up in arms and look at you like you must have mental problems if you are considering only having one child.
I love these "in real life posts". Keep em coming!
I needed a giggle today and you always help with that Shannon. :) Thank you and I too hear you on the second baby thing...no ovary screaming over here either...
I was just talking to a friend today who was the oldest of nine kids. NINE. I can't imagine wanting baby #2 right now. Baby #1 is enough work. Someday...maybe.
I am in total agreement with the weirdo embroidered sayings and patches on all baby clothes. Really?... Mommy's Little Huggable-Too-Cool-Rockstar? Daddy's Cutie Monkey-Troublemaker-Sidekick? Pleeeasse. I have found a solution to this problem and its name is seamripper. I was stoked to find that many of the placards are simply patches sewn on and can be easily removed. Although the first one I trashed said "Mommy Loves Me", and I cringed for a moment while taking all that time to make sure that his shirt didn't give away that secret.
Adorable, but I'm with you. If I even had one kid, one would be enough.
Love their little outfits!
They are so cute in their almost matching outfits!
Seriously...Gabe is like a grown-up.
Time to have another. Stat.
