Today was Superbowl Sunday!

It started with a looong night of Leo Bean yelling and waking up every hour or so. So, momma was pretty grumpy this morning. Luckily the cuteness of Leo quickly won over the grouch in me.

I mean, isn't he the prettiest baby ever? So he jumped a lot and hung out with his dad for a while until we went to my parents' for breakfast. They were super stoked to see Leo. We ran to the grocery store while Leo stayed with my parents. They even got him to take a little nap in the pack-n-play. It was really cute, because when we got back, I went to wake him up, but he was already awake and just laying in the crib staring at the ceiling. He's a funny guy. 

He was not overly interested in taking a nap in the afternoon, so he was pretty grouchy. But he watched some TV with his dad and played with Sophie Giraffe in his crib. We finally got him to fall asleep right before we planned to leave for Casey's. So he only really got 15 minutes or so. Bummer. 

Then we went over to Casey's to watch the game. It was nice to see everyone, and Leo really liked flirting with Ryan. He's going to be trouble; I can tell already. He wore his Eagles jersey, even though they were terrible this year. 

When he started squawking, I took him home so that we could watch the halftime show. Beyoncé was amazing. 

Unfortunately, Leo was so grumpy from his lack of naps today, that he fussed and was generally miserable during our whole bedtime routine. I was bummed, because that's usually one of my favorite parts of the day: snuggling him right before he goes to sleep. 

Fingers crossed he sleeps well tonight!

I'm beginning to think that everyday with Leo is a great day. Today was certainly nice. It started out a little rough, as our little dude did NOT want to sleep last night. He was up every hour from 2-4, which seems like forever in the middle of the night. But we finally brought him into bed to snuggle, and he slept until 7:30 or so.

Normally I'm the only one that gets to enjoy Leo morning snuggles, so it was really fun to watch him with his dad this morning. At one point, Leo had a grip on Chic's nose, but he was just chilling, watching the ceiling fan. He loves the ceiling fan.

Then Chic went out to get breakfast, and Leo and I continued our snuggles.

We tried to find something to watch on TV in bed, but Saturday morning cartoons just aren't what they used to be. Leo was not impressed.

Then, Chic came home with a surprise breakfast...Fractured Prune! Oh man, are those things good.

Leo bean had a bit of a stomach ache this morning, so he had a terrible, horrible exploding diaper situation. Not good. Then, we took a family trip to the Home Depot to get stuff to insulate our door a little better. We also stopped into Old Navy, and got Leo Valentine's Day & St. Patty's Day outfits. They are pretty awesome.

After we got back, and Leo did a lot of jumping, he was sitting on my lap when he started making his poop face. Before I knew it, there was green poop on my shirt. And it was veryyyyy smelly. Chic needed a special "mask" to deal with the diaper.

That kid is cute, but he is gross. But it must have made him feel better to get all that out, because he was super happy and fun the rest of the night.

 Here's hoping that tomorrow is just as great!

Happy Friday!

My day started at 2:40 this morning when I heard some strange squeaking sounds coming from Leo's room. It didn't sound like tears, so I went to investigate...turns out he was just kicking Sophie Giraffe in the corner of his crib. Pretty cute. I brought him into bed with me around 6:30, and he slept until 9:00. Pretty sweet.

I never get tired of looking at this face.

We got up, and Leo watched a little Sesame Street while I got the chili ready for dinner. Then he jumped in his jumper while I picked out a really cute outfit for him to wear. I can't believe he's already wearing 6 mos. sizes!

Then we went to visit Jan, Grady & Baby Beckett.

It's always nice to talk to another stay-at-home mama. And Grady is super fun. He wanted us to play with his trains and cars in his room. And he tried talking to Leo, which was pretty cute.

He kept calling him "that dude." So that was a really fun morning.

Then we came home, and Leo Bean took a snooze. I baked a cake and checked the mail...And on the front page of the Lititz Record today was...Uncle Joey!

There was a really great article about his involvement in THON. We are all so, so proud of him.

There was also a picture of Leo Bean in his snowman outfit. He's pretty great too.

The rest of the night we just hung out with Leo, talked to him, blew raspberries on his belly, sang songs, ate some cereal, took a bubbly bath and did our bedtime thing. I'm loving every minute.
