one year later 365.366

happy birthday mom!

my family on my birthday.

I did it! One whole year in pictures, I only missed two days once due to sickness and the other time, I don't even remember why. I plan on continuing to post to internet, just in a new place. There will be a post here sharing the new address here soon I promise!

keshet 365.365D

My last night of being 30 was spent going to a Keshet event. He wore his adorable Keshet onesie and was very well behaved. We of course forgot to take pictures of him being adorable at the party instead you get this, peeking out from behind the ergo carrier's straps.

crib 365.365C

Ruben took his first nap in his crib today. We were quite proud.

baby-sittters! 365.365A

Tonight Will took me out for my birthday dinner. Our friends Katie and Sander babysat for us. We came home to a sleeping baby (the best kind) Katie, Sander you can baby-sit anytime you want!

happy kid 365.364

I have been told if you find something that makes your kid happy take advantage. Ruben loves the Bumbo. Thanks Aunt Cara, the Bumbo makes me happy!

missing dad 365.363

Will had a work conference in NY today and tomorrow, so it was just me Ruben and Jackson. I could not get Jackson to join me for the picture, but its a tough call to say who missed him more.

creepy 365.362

My son often sleeps with his eyes a little open. I find this creepy, judge for yourself.

just cute 365.361

Ruben was just being cute today. It made me smiley, especially since his dad had to work most of the day.

center of attention 365.360

My in-laws have a beautiful HD TV, but on Saturday night, despite there being both football and baseball on, Ruben managed to steal the show!

favorite shoes 365.359

Ruben had a hot date today. While he was off doing that, I went off to try to find a job. Because we all know I am clumsy, I opted to save the heels for later, and wore my favorite shoes while I traveled.

sleeping angel 365.357

sometimes when my son is asleep I just marvel at him. I never thought I would be one of those moms that just stares at her kid, but sometimes I can't help myself.

yay friends! (take 2) 365.356

Being in the hospital sucked for many reasons, but it also meant that I lost out on spending the afternoon with Jonathan. Lucky for me he was able to be flexible with his schedule and came over today. Ruben was thrilled to meet him and is even more excited to have serious quality time in October! Also Ruben was quick to point out that his outfit is what all the cool kids are wearing.

Best visitors EVER! 365.355

I was on strict no food or drink orders with an IV providing all my sustenance for the whole of Sunday into Monday morning (I was very cranky about this). But by the time my favorite visitors came I was allowed clear liquids and was already in better spirits. Appendicitis was mostly ruled out. Will and Ruben spent most of the day with me watching bad television and sleeping. I was discharged at 6:38 pm with the diagnosis of inflamed lymph nodes due to a gastrointestinal virus. I was happy with the level of care I received, but unhappy that it took so long to discharge me. I waited from 1 pm to 6:38 pm to get discharged. Anyway I am so happy to be home and healthy!

i love mommy 365.353

Ruben has a lot of clothing that proclaims his adore for his father and his participation in things his father may enjoy. Until recently this was the only thing that proclaimed his love for me. (on the hood below the octopus it says "I love Mommy"

Also I couldn't resist another shot of Ruben enjoying the Bumbo and finding his thumb.

Bumbo! 365.352

Ruben got a Bumbo seat and tray from his Aunt Cara as a birthday present. We just started using it and he loves it!

Evidenced by hard it was to get a shot of him "sitting still."

graduation (of a different sort) 365.351

The past six weeks I have been attending a class for new moms, getting to know other new (and amazing) mothers. These woman have been an inspiration to me and have helped me with transition into motherhood. Thank you ladies!
Unlike my graduation this graduation was marked by putting all the babies in a circle. They are all so cute... see if you can spot my son.

Uncle Jonathan 365.350

Uncle Jonathan was in town for work, so of course he had to stop by to see his youngest nephew.

b-school babies 365.349

we were due a month apart. I was two-ish weeks early, she was two-ish weeks late. funny how the babies are roughly the same size. Welcome to the world little man Ruben and I look forward to play-dates together!

more family 365.348

Ruben is slowly working on meeting his family this his great aunt. Before she and her family arrived Ruben was a cranky mess you can see that she has a calming influence on Ruben.
