(almost) 7 months!

As everyone has reminded me I skipped right over 6 months and forgot to take pictures every week. It becomes a little less fun to post pictures of yourself on the internet when you jump so quickly to the point of gigantic and the pictures aren't quite so flattering. Along those lines this is the last time you wills see my bare belly as it just looks huge and I can't bring myself to show the photos to people as it gets even bigger. I know it is supposed to yada yada yada but I'm sure we could all do with out seeing it every month. I'm carrying this baby very differently than with Jackson. Just as the old wives tales claim, this baby just makes me look round and huge and is sitting very high, while Jackson was more of a nice bump on the bottom of my belly (much more flattering). I'll be seven months in a week, but let's be honest I don't post that much so this is going to count for that. I would have loved to have actually taken decent pictures, but it's 10:00 and Kurt wasn't up for the game of that looks horrible take another one so, here you go.


Look at my curly hair

Just thought I'd share a couple of quick pictures for all of you to see just how long I've let my son's hair get lately. I'm getting a lot of pressure from Kurt as well as Dustin and Kaysha to cut his hair already. I don't know if it is the fact that he won't be my little baby soon or what but I feel this need to keep him looking like a little boy for as long as possible and I love the curls, I think it suits his wild personality. I think he has plenty of years ahead of him to have a big boy hair cut which I have already tried out on him, for the record, when he was younger. I like the wild curls better, so you all can weigh in and let me know what you think. I will admit it looks a little crazy here after nap, but Jackson is a little crazy so........





Easter

Here's a few pictures from the Easter brunch that we went to on the Sat. morning before easter. It was Jackson's first easter egg hunt and once he figured out that there was candy in it, and that I was actually going to let him eat it, he was pretty darn excited. I got so busy making food on easter that I forgot to give him his easter basket so I ended up throwing out the candy and giving him little presents through out the week. So since he doesn't know the difference I got to seem like a really cool mom all week rather than the really lame mom I felt like on easter.







Green Day

OK, so I'm not very dedicated to blogging it seems. I can't believe that over a month has gone by and people are threatening me if I don't post. So, I'll begin back at Green Day which was on Saint Patrick's day. I decided to make the whole day about everything green. We wore green clothes and cooked green eggs (with spinach, surprisingly good) and ham and green milk. We read the book Green Eggs and Ham way to many times.



We went for a walk and found green stuff like the obvious grass and leaves, and then had green smoothies which consisted of one of those "naked" green drinks that has a bunch of fruit and weird stuff like broccoli and spinach and green algae, mixed with ice. Jackson absolutely loved it but I thought it tasted like broccoli and garlic. Jackson drank all of his....


and then mine. We also had avacado dip with all kinds of green veggies and pita chips, Jackson gave all of the veggies a try and then stuck to the pita chips.

The day finished off with a big green cupcake which made


Jackson very happy.
