My Five
{One} Kai took his first steps two days ago and a few more yesterday and today! I'm one proud momma! He has one week to be prepared to walk down the aisle at Auntie Hannah and Uncle Ethan's wedding though. Can't say I believe that's going to happen. He's going to be darn cute in his little suit though!
{Two} Last weekend we went to Ikea and there was a tent/tunnel that Kai fell in love with! He was crawling back and forth and even pushed an older kid out of his way so he could get though (we'll have to work on that!) After that I thought it would be a stellar birthday gift. I remembered seeing one at TJMaxx, so off I went to purchase it. It's this model. Feels a little flimsy, but we don't plan on going camping with it, so it's great for us. I also couldn't wait until his birthday so it's in our living room right now and Kai is loving it and the dog has been sleeping in it. It's fabulous!
{Three} I've been working on being a better wife. Sometimes I get wrapped up in being Kai's mom that I forget that being John's wife is equally if not more important. My relationship with Jesus comes first, then John then Kai. I just feel like I've been slacking in loving John well, so I'm working on a list of tangible things to do. I am planning to keep that list in a place I see it so I can hold myself accountable. Maybe I'll share some of them if I have some free time :)
{Four} I made these muffins and used this acorn squash recipe this week. Of course I added chocolate chips into the muffins. Both recipes were winners. Oh how I'm longing for fall.
{Five} I'm in the market for a wrap baby carrier and/or a ring sling type carrier. I'm not sure if I should make one or if I should just support another momma on Etsy or go cheap and buy a used one on eBay. I'm at a loss. I've done a lot of research and still can't decide. Any suggestions would be awesome!
Two weeks in a row, here's to hoping I post next week as well :) Until then, have a wonderful week!
Hi Emily!
ReplyDeleteYour Kai is quite a cutie! Love the name too!
I have a moby wrap and love it! I have read that lots of people make their own out of knit fabric, but I was a bit nervous to try that out. Good luck with your decision!
Thank you! He's my little sunshine :) Good to know about the Moby! I found a ring sling on Etsy that I might purchase and them maybe I'll give making one a shot. I found some inexpensive cotton gauze (I think I want something a little less stretchy for a toddler) that I thought I'd try. Are you still carrying Annabelle in your Moby? Kai weighs over 20 lbs and I wondered if it's still comfortable for a heavier child... Hope you've had a great week!
