Leaving on a jet plane

Today is our babyini's first plane ride! We're taking him on the grand tour to meet all his relatives on my side of the family. Here's hoping there is an extra seat on the plane for his car seat and that he sleeps much of the flight!

In other news...he almost sits by himself! Pictures coming soon.

More in a week!

First Beach Trip!

This past weekend we took our munchkin on his first trip to the beach. We went to the ocean for the weekend with friends. It was overall a great weekend! We took babyini on his first trip to the zoo on Saturday and then Sunday he experienced the Atlantic for the first time. He will experience the Pacific in a little over a week! This was also his first time sneaking in to somewhere, but more on that later!

The zoo was a little bit over his head. Sadly, I don't have any pictures from that part of the trip but needless to say he enjoyed being carried around but didn't really appreciate the animals much.

The beach was beautiful! It was a nice sunny day, but not to hot. Babyini enjoyed watching the waves but wasn't such a fan of the water itself. Could be because it was a little chilly (wait until he feels the Pacific!), or could be because he was a little bit sleepy, but either way it was a good day.

Here are a few pictures from the day:

Ready for the beach--shades and all

First view of the Atlantic

Waiting for the waves to come--turns out he's not such a big fan.

My new favorite picture--a boy and his daddy

Beach: 1; Baby:0--this whole beach thing is exhausting!


That's all for tonight. Tune in later this week for a mini bathroom makeover and a tour of The Turquoise Bicycle "studio."

Hello World

I've been thinking of starting a blog for a long time now. Actually, I've started several in the past but it has never gone anywhere. My hope is that maybe, just maybe, this time I will be disciplined enough to keep up with it.

As a new mom, with a four month old baby who likes to nap on my lap for an hour or two every morning, my hope is that I can use that time to write and share with you projects, pictures, and just everyday life.

Nothing like peaches in summer. That was today's breakfast. (Can you tell I recently discovered and have fallen in love with Instagram?)

One more picture from today and I will leave you until Monday:

I'm coming to love the little things, like a baby so asleep on my lap while I write to you that he no longer has the energy to suck on his pacifier. Life is good.

Have a good weekend!
