A Man with A Baby

Is a man with a baby the cutest darn thing? I always love seeing my husband, Ryan, with my cute little puppy. They are my two boys and they both hold my heart. That being said, seeing my hubby holding my precious little nephew Camden certainly pulls on the heart strings!

Are they not the cutest darn thing? I wonder how much of me giving them that title is because I know and love the both of them, or whether it really is the 'man & a baby' thing where women are drawn to men holding a baby. I think it has something to do with seeing their, men, facial expressions and demeanors as a way to see how they will embrace children and potentially our kid(s). And I'm sure you can tell that Ryan certainly seems to be "okay" with Camden. I really love the bottom right photo because it shows Ryan's mischevious smile which is totally kid-like itself. ;)

Oh, and just so my other nephew doesn't feel left out, I also want to show my big boy nephew Aiden. He started Pre-K a few weeks ago. I can't believe how big he's getting!!!

I'm so blessed with the best & most beautiful family.

Dr. Seuss Party Alert

Is it wrong to want to throw a Dr. Seuss party or have one thrown for me? I love Dr. Seuss; I think it would be a fantastic nursery "theme" for a future baby Luce. His books are colorful and whimsical, exactly what I'd want my child's room to be. The things incorporated in this party would be amazing for a little nursery or a Dr. Seuss themed party of mine (cough, cough baby shower) in the future. Take a look...

I love the play on words

The Lorax trees made from Styrofoam glued with a feather boa

So what do you think? Wouldn't this theme be an awesome celebration for the future baby Luce? I know I would have fun assembling some of these items, and of course eating all the delicious goodies. :) YUM! 

You can see all the details and extra photos from this party over at Hostess with the Mostess and be sure to check out this awesome dessert table. This Esty shop has even more amazing Dr. Seuss party items: Modern Bebe.

If I Were Knocked Up

Okay, so before everyone sends me comments, Facebook messages, Tweets, emails or texts-I am NOT pregnant!!! But I do know some people who are (Congrats to all of them!) and as such I've thought about how I would tell people if I were knocked-up. I saw this photo on YoungHouseLove.com, which I pinned as a reference, which totally sparked my desire to do something like this when I tell Ryan.

So I googled "big brother dog shirts" to see what kind of options would be available if/when it comes time for me to be knocked up. And the selection is HILARIOUS!! Here a couple that would be great ideas, should you want to use  option:

These are from CafePress.com but I'm sure there are others out there. Just a neat little idea, if I say so myself. :)
