It’s About Time…

Sorry I have not blogged in FOREVER…Just been busy!! So let’s cut to the chase and show you some photos of the main attraction!!!

Hope you are well!! Jett is doing awesome and we are having SO much fun!!!

Game Day!

One of the things that we have been most excited to share with Jett is our love for College Football and the Georgia Bulldogs!! I went to schoool there, and Tim has adopted the Dawgs as his own since we began dating!! So obviously we want to share that with Jett!!
So even though the Dawgs got spanked yesterday, it was so much fun watching the game with Jett and especially singing the fight song to him…he laughed and smiled every time we would sing and cheer. And the highlight of the day was when the Dogs scored on the 1st drive and we could all celebrate the touchdown!!

So here are a few photos of our Future Quarterback…

1 last photo; this is Jett when he was born with the same football…look how he has grown!!!

If I’m Honest…

If I’m being honest, I would tell you these few things…

…I was frightened about having children and my capabilities as a Mom; that’s why I waited so long…

…I never knew or thought I would ENJOY being a Mom so much…

…the first 6 weeks after I had Jett were hell, but I got through it…

…I never knew that there was a network of mom’s who help each other out and helped me get through the first 6 weeks…thank you…

…getting through that time has given me a new sense of confidence that has made me a different person then before…

…I am so thankful that Jett sleeps through the night, but sometimes I want to go in there and wake him up just to hang with him…

…I worry every day about his development in some small way…

…I am honestly enjoying my job now more then ever, which is surprising to me…

…I do miss the lazy weekends Tim & I used to share, but we are having so much fun with Jett now…

…but I do miss going to the movies whenever I wanted!!!

Those were a few things on my mind today that I wanted to share!!

Here are some new photos!!

I heart my hands!

Best Designer around…

I just added a link to my site for the blog by the best designer that I know…Danny Haas…I am fortunate to continue to work with him, and he is a rad designer, but an even better friend. Check him out.

Also, he has an unbelievable clothing line called Loveless…you can buy yourself some stylish gear here…

Here is one of his cool designs…

Jett = 4 Months Old!

I honestly can not believe that we have a 4 month old baby!! Tim keeps saying “I can’t believe that he was that little!”…It is amazing! I also can’t believe how much time flies…another thing people tell you pre-baby that you can not fathom until it happens!! It also feels light years from when we were having trouble keeping weight on him…definitely not a problem now!! We look at him everyday and he looks SO big!

Here is the 4 month journey in photos…

His Birthday…hands down one of the best days of our collective lives. Again I still can not comprehend how you can fall in so love SO fast and have an inseparable bond with a baby immediately. It truly was LOVE at first site!

Happy Birthday Jett!

1 Month Old…in the days when he was not sleeping and Tim and I look exhausted in every picture!! I’m not going to lie, that 1st month was really hard, just absorbing and learning everything that was necessary to know how to take care of Jett & ourselves. I’m so thankful that we made it through…and so did he!! (Ladies if you are pregnant and want more insight, let me know!!)

Lookin fine in his Gap onesie

2 Months Old…by this time, Tim & I were in so much more of a groove, it really became fun hanging out with Jett. He took his 1st road trip, and we had a ton of visitors to come and meet him. It was an awesome month!

Rad Like Dad!

3 Months Old…Mom had to head to work, so Daycare began, and he LOVES the ladies at the center…the director told me that all of the teachers stop by to see Jett each day and they all want to hang with him! That made us happy!! He has also found his voice and is using his hands so much!

Close-up!

Today…4 Months Old…this morning he was playing on his favorite jungle mat (thanks Roro) and was having a blast…we already took a nap today and I woke up to him staring at me in the eyes and feeling my face…it was a wonderful mom moment!! We love this little guy!!

Lovin the jungle mat!

His 4th month is going to be a big month!!! We get to start him on rice cereal, he gets to watch his 1st Georgia Football game, he gets to meet his great grandmother after his 1st flight to Orlando, and he gets to go to Disney World. Pretty exciting for a 4 month old! It’s going to be a fun month!!!

Hope you are well!

Being a Mom…

I was hanging out with Jett this morning and was having so much fun with an almost 4 month old baby…and I realized how much capacity you gain when you become a mom. I can do so many more things then I ever thought I could do…it is incredible. And prior to being a mom, I had no idea that I would need to gain capacity and grow in so many ways…let alone actually have the ability to do so.

Anyway, I think that is cool…and guys, you have nothing on us ladies…we rock. Just the giving birth part gives us a MAJOR leg up; but being a mom trumps all.

And how could you not have fun with this little guy?

Hanging out at Old Navy

Classy Book to Read…

A co-worker of mine, (and new mom!), Jordan Christy, just published her 1st book…it is so cool!

She was on the Today show promoting it…and Jordan is as classy as ever…and Kathie Lee sounds as deranged as ever!! But here is the clip & the interview…

So proud of you Jordan!

Jett’s Exciting Weekend…

We had such a great weekend this past weekend, I thought that I would tell you Jett’s story in pictures…

Friday night was the road trip to Chattanooga…it was a late night, and Jett slept the whole way while I read Tim funny stories off of the internet to keep him awake while he was driving…

Arriving at Roro & David's

Saturday’s in Chattanooga…only means the LAKE!!

Dressed & ready to go out on the boat

Trying to get a sun tan with 3 million layers of sun block is hard!

This is FUN!

My Mom thinks Im smoldering...what does that mean?

My Dad is so cool...and a FAST boat driver!

After a long day at the lake…it is time for a NAP!

Crashed & burned on the boat...

More nap time with Dad!

I sleep with the ROCK FIST!

Sunday morning came time to cheer Mom on in the triathlon!

Giving Mom the #1 sign!

...and another nap with Dad!! Lot's of guy time!

Sunday night was time to celebrate Granddad’s Birthday!!

Wearing orange & blue for Granddad & his Auburn Tigers!

Roro loves me!!

As if we didn’t have a busy enough weekend…now it’s time for Jett to practice sitting!

Learning to sit!

We had such a blast this weekend! Hope ya’ll are doing well!!

Amateur Videographers…but it’s still a SMILE!

Smiley!!

Sorry I have been delinquent in updating the blog…I’m trying to learn how to be a working Mom!! I sure had a lot more free time when I was on maternity leave!! So far the transition is going well…Jett is adjusting to day care – he loves his teachers; they are so sweet to him. He is working on taking naps when he is there-he seems to be the social butterfly, and does not ever want to nap; but today was better, and each day he gets more used to his new stimulating environment. I’m sure the day will come when he tells me he is “bored” with us and wants to head back to day care and play with all of his friends and their multitude of toys!!

Anyway, we had to share this video with you…yes I was the videographer and the lighting even makes an amateur look like a pro…but Jett’s smile still shines through…

And here are a bunch of new photos…

Hanging with Mom

Relaxing

Guy’s Night!

I’m FUN!

Smiley!!

Hope ya’ll are well…my friends Casey & Leslie had their babies this week, and I am so excited to welcome Jett’s new friends to the world…Britain & Darcy!

Back to work with a #1…

We received some awesome news at work yesterday…one of our groups, pureNRG (you say it “pure energy”) released their new album last Tuesday….and based on the 1st week of sales, they sold the most in the industry, recording the #1 album for the week; and #20 on the overall Billboard charts. They sold more then U2 & Green Day did this week!! That is insane!!

pureNRG is our kids group that targets the “tween” audience – ie: kids through teenagers — and they sing pop music with a positive influence; in the vein of Miley Cyrus & the Jonas Brothers. And not only do I love the 3 kids in the group, my team played a big role in the success of the launch. My job has long lead times for sales cycles; I was a part of some brainstorming meetings in Grand Rapids in December that hatched the big promotion idea that led to the success of the launch — and when I left for maternity leave, I left the execution of the project in the hands of my amazing team — and they fulfilled the promotion with excellence — it was fun to come back and see our TEAM effort pay off. It was extremely gratifying to see the press release today and to celebrate the results with our Word Family and pureNRG. We have such a fast paced job and since the industry as a whole has been on the decline, often times we do not celebrate enough…but this felt good. It made coming back to work a bit easier, since I have been missing Jett a lot each day!!

Anyway, please check out pureNRG, especially if you have kids and you want them to hear positive music and have positive role models. I know all three kids very well – they came to see Jett in the hospital, and hung out with me at my house during maternity leave, and plan to baby sit in the near future – and they mean what they say and are just a joy to hang around. You can learn more at their web site: www.pureNRGonline.com

Also, Tim created a remix album for them last fall…check it out here!

Well here are some new shots of sweet Jett…he is pretty funny…and super sweet!!

Hope you are doing well!!
