mama's pretties...

so after having a baby, i was pretty limited in choice in the bra department since i was nursing. for me, i really couldn't have anything restrictive so i was on the hunt for practical and yet some-what pretty. so here are my fav's for new mom's to be:

these are both from target the gilligan & omalley brand. i tried the elle mcpherson bra's from nordstrom and althought they were beautiful and double the cost, it just didn't serve its purpose. the tanks, i lived in the 13 months i nursed and had in probably all the colors available at the time. 

i also would highly suggest in a robe. after you deliver {i was via c-section} they wanted me to walk the halls, even though it was so so very painful. and as much as you'd like to think you'll put on a pair of pants, the easiest and most comfortable thing to do was just wrap a soft robe around you...and trust me, you won't care what you look. in my book, if you've just given birth - you are already a rock star. {the one pictures below is an ugg one and you can find it at nordstrom. mine is from target and i love it but this one...oh my. it is YUMMY. Christmas is right around the corner ladies...put this on your list!!}

fresh on my mind...

i wanted to write these little moments as they were still fresh on my mind so that i can remember and cherish these funny moments of my little mister. so, jacob at one year, ten months and 14 days you are:

:: curious about EVERYTHING!! you say, "isat" which translates into: what is that??

:: you notice everything, down to the outline of the moon in the sky during the day to the stringy cobwebs that hang from our tall ceilings. you love pointing out all the trucks, tractors, school buses, rv's and campers as we drive from place to place. 

:: we went to bbrus the other day and as we walked out you looked across the street and said, "costco." you have NEVER been to that one and i'm pretty positive you can't read, but you were right on!!

:: you are absolutely OBSESSED with thomas the train and know pretty much all the characters names. maybe one day when you're much much older we'll tell you what some of the names sounded like in your sweet, innocent little toddler way.

:: we put you down for bed at around 8:30pm and your dad and i LOVE listening to you jibber jabber away in your room - in the dark - with elephant and charlie - for over an hour. we adore that you love your "alone" time.

:: today while at target, we picked up some more yogurt for you. as we kept walking down that aisle, you pointed to activia and your eyes lit up as you said, "hameeee!!" {which is grandma lee...and yes, grandma lee eats lots of activia!!}

:: you know how to perfectly navigate through my iphone and ipad. i need to teach you the password so you don't lock mama's phone out for FIFTEEEEEN MINUTES. 

:: you are shy and sweet. curious and thoughtful. definitely have your moments but overall, you're pretty darn lovable.
