Five Months!

The Romester is five months old today! We got an early start on his pictures because this guy thought it would be cool to poop all over himself and his bed when he woke up....at 6:30. He was in such a good mood- chattering and rolling around (thus making the mess bigger). I didn't find the poop as amusing, but what do I know? I'm just a silly girl ;)

 

I usually wait for Dan to help me distract him while I take the pictures, but  we didn't need any extra hands this time. As soon as I pulled out the camera he started smiling.

We've had quite a few changes this month, including:

*Rolling over, and over, and over, and over........

*Moving into his room (this includes some sleep training, but he got stubborn traits from both of us, so he's putting up a good fight)

*Starting cereal

*Splashing in the bath water

*Trying to get his feet into his mouth

 

He (still) loves:

*Playing with mommy and daddy

*His George

*Sitting in the bumbo in front of a mirror

*Playing in his exersaucer (although one of the bee toys appears to be his arch nemesis, since it will not detach like he so desperately wants)

 

As usual, here are some more picture from this past month

 

 I love this one. Ladies man in the making. "How you doin?";)

 

 

 Enough with these silly pictures....

Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

I am blessed to have a truly wonderful Father. Really, he's the best (and I'm not just saying that because he's my dad). 

Now my husband is a daddy, and an excellent one at that. I'm so glad Roman has him for a role model.

I'd also like to wish a Happy Father's Day to my father-in-law, my grandpa and papaw, and my brothers-in-law. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

A Pin*terest Post

I love Pinterest. I could spend manymanymany hours on there (pre-child). Recently I decided to try some of my pinned links to see if there were any winners. Here are a few that I've liked so far: 

1.

Laminate floor cleaner

2. Make ahead Brownie Mix (no picture because I always eat it before I can snap one). Recipe can be found here. She also has some other great make yourself items like bisquick, and she included the breakdown of cost.

3.

 Grilled pesto shrimp So, so good!

4. 

 Awesome thigh workout

5.

DIY Disney ornament I made this for a friend because she loves all things Disney. It was a hit, and I already had all the materials in the house. Win Win

6.

6. Freezing chicken stock. I can't locate the link for this (it's one of those million kitchen idea links). Here is what you do: Take any remaining stock (this also works for unused buttermilk) and pour into muffin tins. Next, place the tin in the freezer for about an hour. Once the slots are frozen you can easily pop the frozen pieces out and place them in a labeled baggie. Next time you cook, you just use what you need. Easy Peasy
