Christmas in July!

About five months into my pregnancy, I joined Babycenter. It's a website targeted towards parents-to-be and parents. I spent HOURS on this site, checking up on the progression of my pregnancy (how Cubby was growing) and even joined the BabyCenter Community where I found other first-time parents (moms mostly)-to-be like me. My birth board and the small group I joined was (is) my lifeline when I need someone to share in my challenges and triumphs as a first time mom.

As time as progressed, I started joining other boards on the Community and now belong to an awesome group of "crunchy"-like Mamas like myself. So one of the awesome Mamas put together a "Christmas in July" gift exchange which of course I hopped on board to participate in. How FUN to get a present in the middle of the year just because! Thank you to the CMT gals and for letting me into your group! Here's my AWESOME gift I got (excuse the blurry shots, I had to include 'em because of the action):

So here I was setting up a shot and what comes in? Cubby's stealth-like hand!

Take two: Once again, setting up the shot and before I know it....one was gone!

He finally just climbed up on the table to play with HIS new toys:

As I attempted to take them away and grab Cubby off the table, screaming ensued with a lot of "Mine! Mine!", so I just gave them back to him for a little bit...

Yep. Definitely not MY Christmas in July. *giggling*

Luvin' the Cub!

For those of you who follow me, I have been absent via blog lately. Except for blogging about fabulous contests! I'm totally in love with cloth diapers and have recently branched out and purchased my first set to try on our own. If it all works out, we'll be canceling our diaper service and buying more! Woo hoo!!! I guess I'm turning into a 'crunchy' kind of Mamma! LOL!!! Who knew I had it in me?? :)

Anyway, I don't have much to say but here's some pics of the Cub!!

E took this pic my first day back at work...
