6 Months

My baby is 6 months old now. Where.Has.The.Time.Gone.

I feel like he has always been here. Like I have always known him. I guess that the funny thing about having a child. They are a part of you before they were even here. 

Days are filled with laughing, playing,  tickling, dancing, and singing. Recently he enjoys watching his mommy dance around like a crazy women to christmas music. I feel like I get to entertain him for a good hour and exercise at the same time! 

He is always smiling, and lets me get things done now, he is ready to walk, like yesterday. 

He has the sitting up thing down and he has started to get in the crawling position from the sitting position. He has changed so much just this last week. He hugs and lifts his hands when wanting to be picked up. My heart is so full.  

I love him deeply and dearly. I'm so blessed.

He hates after bath time while I try to get his clothes on, I usually have to sing "if your happy and you know it" really loud to keep him from crying, he gets frustrated easily if things don't go his way. He still gets bored pretty fast, so we switch from activity to activity throughout the day. Other than that he has turned into a fairly easy child this last month. Crossing fingers it lasts!

Pumpkin Patch

Did I tell you how much I love fall?? 

We had such fun time as a family at the pumpkin patch.

We watched the pig races and pumpkin launch.

And saw pumpkins are large as me!

 

He's the cutest.

I Love Fall Most of All

      So I stay home 5 out of the 7 days, and my style has become "comfortable". I remember right before I had Cohen in a conversation I had with my mom, I said something along the lines do you want me to wear sweats all day every day? Oh funny now, guess what 9 out of 10 times I am wearing -yoga- pants and a tee. You see I didn't realize I would have a baby hanging off my bo chest.

     I feel like Fall you can be a little "lazy" when it comes to the fashion, or am I wrong?

You'll only find me in a flannel, black pants, and boots these next few month, so be warned.


    I just order this one from J.Crew last week. A few years ago I bought the blue gingham flannel shirt and one day my sister stole it, busted one of the buttons and shrunk it, now I can't seem to find another one. I search ebay daily.

I love them to be a tad bit on the large size and shopping in the mens section gives me excellent choices, I usually hunt in the mens section at Abercrombie, but Old Navy has some great ones this year.

 I love this one{Here}

So heres to Fall

Art from the on-the-go mom

So you know now I do not have HOURs to get ready anymore, I have more like minutes, so yes, I go DAYZ without washing my hair, and weeks of wearing the same outfit, okay I lie not weeks, but I do have leaned more to the basic is better approach to fashion.
Hence my outfit this past weekend at the Art show we attended. It was beautiful and I just love September because there is ALWAYS something going on in St. Louis on the weekends.
And since bubba is now big enough to fit like a big kid in the stroller he doesn't mind to ride along!

Falling into Fall

Well it is officially September and well on our way into fall! My favorite time of the year! I've been wondering the internet in search of what is *in* this early fall.
Here are some of my favorites~


1) the Comfy pant.

Whether it be joggers, track pants, loose slacks, it's all about comfort.
J Crew {Here} Gap {Here} and I got mine at Target{Here}

2) Black Jeans

 J. Crew is always a favorite, the perfect toothpick black jean.

3) the Sweatshirt

I love this Gap one {Here}

4) Cardigans

Easy enough, long cardigans

I also see lots of stripes, blues, denim, red and grays, boyfriend flannels, sneakers and always the bootie.

What are your go-to trends this late summer, early fall?
