Baking cookies!!

Today was just one of those days that I felt the need to bake.... trust me it doesn't happen often so when it does I really need to take advantage of it. First Taytum and I went to the store to pick up a couple of things and then we were off. I decided that if I was going to be baking I better do something with health value to it.... Oatmeal cookies!!! Totally the healthier cookie out there right?

 Well Taytum must know his mommy really well because he was a good boy the entire time. No fussing at all, which is great because when it comes to baking anyone that knows me knows that I need all the concentration I can get so that the kitchen doesn't burn to the ground.

I have officially gotten all of the baking out of my system and can't wait to snuggle up with my boys tonight after dinner for some much needed milk and cookies.

Auntie Christina's birthday

On February 24th, we joined my sister Christina, her husband Brian and a bunch of friends on a night out on the town. The plan was that we needed to choose a different era and dress for it. We went to the Phoenix Grill for dinner in our retro wear, then headed over to Mountain view bowling for some fun.... Logan and I were dressed up to fit the late 80's early 90's.

Christina the birthday girl and her hubby Brian choose the 50's.

We even brought Taytum with us; I tried out his retro outfit at home but figured he would be much happier wearing his monster jammies since it was going to be way past his bed time. 

This also happened to be the first time that Logan and I have ever gone bowling together.... it was awesome! Taytum was such a good little guy the entire night. He slept through dinner but was wide awake and loving the light show at the bowling alley later that night. I love having date nights with both of my boys!

A quick post to Catch up!

Ok, so this is my last "past" post! From now on, I am going to keep caught up on my blogging... to cherish and remember all the moments with our family as they happen. So heres a toast to the last 6 weeks  with our little Taytum!

Bringing Taytum home was so fun. We have learned that I am the one to feed him (obviously) and Logan is THE BEST at burping! I couldn't do it without him!

Here is a quick timeline of Taytums first 6 weeks.

 Taytum watched his first Flames Game!

And the Flames won... Taytum must be good luck!

He met a ton of his cousins - here are just a couple :)

 We tried to catch up on some sleep!!

.. or not...

  Shopping around... mommy's favourite!

On February 20.. Family Day.. Logan, Taytum and I went to Heritage Park with Blake, Chyna-Rose and their two adorable kids (our Niece & Nephew), Ivy Jean & Brock! We hula-hooped...

... and played dress up...

It was a perfect way to spend Family Day!

We have enjoyed wonderful Family dinners and this past week Taytum was able to meet even more of his cousins.

One of my most favourite moments of Taytum's first 6 weeks was his beautiful baby blessing which was on Sunday February 5th.

It was crazy busy and so amazing at the same time. Logan blessed Taytum along with Taytum's Uncles - Jordan, Dallas, Weston and Brian and Taytum's Papa. It was a moment I'll never forget.

After the blessing, Logan and I had an open house with treats and sandwiches and had our closest friends and family over to celebrate this beautiful day!

 It was a success!! And lets not forget Taytum's first Super Bowl!

The sweet little expression on the left is what we like to call... "The Poop Face!" ... we always know we will need a diaper when we see that sweet expression!

The one on the right is leading up to a big smile! I love those expressions. I love his big smile.. and recently he has started to giggle!! It is the best sound in the world.... along with his snoring... yes.. thats right.. Taytum snores! Every time he sleeps... we love it!

I am loving my life as a mommy. Sure its challenging at times... but I learn so much through those challenges and it brings me closed to my little guy! I Love you Taytum.
