So my last post  was one that I had already written but just forgot to post my bad! So we have major updates wooo hooo

So you know how we were talking about cords and needing to baby proof and all of that well ya, we totally need too. Little man is way too curious and he may or may not have pulled a cord and bam got hit in the face and got his first little bloody nose. Umm it was heartbreaking to hear those cries. 

But man does he make a bloody nose look good! He only cried for a little bit  and then let mama clean him all up! Thank goodness for the both of us. 

Biggest news yet we have a crawler!!! I did get it on video but to spare my child the horrific embarrassment at a more mature age i will not post it. He was naked...

The dogs toy was so enticing he just had to get it slowly zoomed right over to it! So freaking cute. I love that he can crawl but umm, i also hate that i now have to keep such a close eye on him. Ok that makes me sound like a lazy/bad mom, i just mean i can leave him on his tummy to play with toys while i do the dishes for sake that he might fall down the stairs. Which brings up the next thing. Baby proofing. Haha 

The day after he started crawling i called and found a guy that does custom baby gates so that it will match my banister. It;s not because i am snooty or anything we have just bought four and none work because of how our post is set. It's dumb i know. Happy to report the baby gate is already done wooohooo and will be installed this weekend cannot wait. 

We had such nice weather this weekend that Coy and I took advantage as much as possible


Pretty sure he got sick of me taking so many pictures i mean this face screams "Mom really, another?" All day er day baby


And of course we gotta try out new stunna shades out!


After papa got home we went on a lovely 4 miles walk and then called it a weekend and watched Sunday shows as a fam. Doesn't get better than that!



Tricky Tuesday

We So Tricky!!!

Oh man we are full of new surprises/tricks everyday over here. Coy seriously is so shocking each and every day with something new that he has learned. I swear each morning when I get him out of his crib he is a whole different baby, with new and exciting things to show me and teach me for that day.

Tyler and I joke about how he must think we are absolute idiots because we will show him something like clapping our hands. He looks at us puzzled and then kind of smirks and claps his hands! He is brilliant I’m telling you, BRILLIANT.

But seriously the tricks are happening overnight. He wakes up in the morning and BAM, “Oh hey mom, look what I can do today!” I love it. I seriously just stare at my beautiful little man and think, “I can’t believe you are so big, and all of the things you are learning so quickly.”

We still aren’t crawling. Again we have the backwards and the circle thing down pretty good but still no grooving forward. Lately he has been staring to move forward and then after he scoots one hand forward he then sits right away. That is still really exciting because he that is a new trick!
We clap our hands now! It seriously makes me so happy, he claps nonstop when he is excited and usually when it is just us all day long but when we ask him to show someone he won’t do it. We did however get his first clap on tape!!!!


Haha he starts to cry at the end because he freaks out when you laugh too loud or yell it scares him. 

He is a master sitter and I find him just hanging out in his crib like this after a nap




He might end up being a pianist

He holds his own bottle now

And my favorite, especially since this is a staple in the new era of social networking, he has mastered the selfie


I cannot wait to see what else he has in store for me this week. 

On The Move

It's almost the weekend yay! Seriously this week has been killing me. So much work, which is amazing but it's been keeping me up late. So, i'm welcoming the weekend with open arms.

So now that McCoy is almost 8 months old the #1 question I get is "Is he crawling?" My response is "Well, kind of!" Haha little man is a master when it comes to crawling backwards and in circles, BUT we don't quite have the forwards thing down. He will seriously turn in a circle find the object he wants turn back so that his butt is towards the object and crawls backwards to it. It is comical really.

Then when we try enticing him so that he will move forward we get this....



I mean really kid i dont think that is how crawling works. Everyone keeps saying he might walk before he crawls and that might very well be the case. He does like to stand up and hold onto his walker and walk, but he cant walk without holding onto that and he doesn't pull him self up onto things.

He is sooo close. Which brings up the next thing baby proofing! So not going to lie i never had plans to baby proof other than a gate on the stairs. I really thought we would be good and that we had done a good job hiding cords and such; WRONG!



Mister is a little ninja and gets into anything and everything. Ok really not anything and everything really just cords. So we are getting rid of our surround sound speakers and looking into in wall speakers. This weekend we, or should i say I, am going to work on the office/playroom since he is in there all day and repeatedly tries to pull my monitors onto the floor.

You can never be too careful. So baby proofing here I come, because, it's only a matter of days before he is movin and goovin all over the place.

Hopefully i don't procrastinate and really get the office done this weekend!
