Very First Father's Day!!

We celebrated Mo's first Father's Day this past weekend...it was perfect!

First we took Shay to the Farmer's Market and picked out some yummy fresh fruit and veggies, and we taste-tested the finest cake we've ever eaten in our lives...Butter Rum. It was a gloriously sunny but breezy day, kind of like the days you used to imagine from Winnie the Pooh. We opened Daddy's present, a cleverly crafted picture mug (so original I know) and a handmade cookie by Grammannette. Then we trekked off to BBQ and swim at Papa's house, well actually we didn't barbecue anything we boiled 10 lbs of crab legs! Yes, 10 lbs and we ate every last morsel of those lil bottom feeders, along with Granny Kins famous scalloped potatoes, sweet white corn on the cob and salad by me. You think I copped out by only making salad huh...hahaha well if you've ever had salad made by me or Ash you know how good it was. We enjoyed our dinner and the company, all the Rod's, lil Syd  E's youngest sister and Papa and Granny. So it was almost a perfect day...almost...then we lost the car keys. We searched and searched, tore the house apart and no keys. 20 minutes after the Rod's got home they called, someone had slipped the keys in lil Syd's purse (she's 12) I have a hunch who did it, but I'll never tell, after all it was Father's Day. 

 

Roll-ey Poll-ey Birdie!

Shay rolled over yesterday......sob, sob, sob! Just kidding, well sort of, I can't help but be so proud of my little Birdie but at the same time stricken with the fact that she is growing and developing so fast the baby days are numbered. I love the baby phase, I know some can't wait until they're walking, talking and dressing themselves but I personally want her to stay just the way she is. She's such a perfect cuddle size, she doesn't argue with me, she lets ME dress her, she sleeps through the night and takes 3 naps a day....does it get any better? I think not! Here's the video of her rolling over, which was actually the 2nd time she did it. The first time I missed because I walked into the kitchen for 2 sec's, and came back to see she had completely rolled over! This time I was ready with camera in hand when we started her daily "tummy time" activity. Oh, and just so you all believe me I recorded her nightly ritual for going to bed, I think she's unbelievable and you will too.....(first have to figure out how to reduce its size, then I will post)
