Birthday Part 2

Jades Birthday was great, she still didnt "get" the cake and singing, but boy did she enjoy eating it (after she ate her dinner of course, hence the shot with the mac & cheeze and the string beans - notice how much she likes them!).

I've also included some shots of her in the snow (not sure if she liked it) and a picture of Jade and Scott at Nancy Ellens St. Patty's Day bash (which was fun, and the food was awesome!!!)

Love to all!!

Happy Birthday Part One

Here is Jade-Su this morning wearing the 1st Birthday shirt Auntie Suzie bought for her and yes, the bow is back, I couldnt help it! We will not be headed to Vermont as planned (because of the bad weather), so we'll be staying home and chillin'.

Jade and I went out an got a Birthday cake, some food for this weekend and wine for mommy (yeah! I can drink my wine again). We also made a visit to the bank, we wanted to get out before the bulk of the snow started falling.

I'll post more pictures later, I hope to get some good shots of Jade ripping through her cake. I'm also going to try and figure out how to post a video to the blog, so stay tuned!

Love to all!

P.S. doesnt she look so big? Yikes!

Too Cute Or What?

OK, so I did what I told all of you I would never do. I velcro'd a bow to Jades hair. I couldnt help it. I wanted to see her "cutesy" side. Note the look she's giving me, she is practicing for when she's 16 and is saying "Are you done now? Get a life Mom!".

Some Firsts!

Jade and I took our first road trip together this past weekend and took a 4 hour drive to Long Beach Island where Nana and Poppop live. What a trip. I was nervous the whole way down, Jade isnt big enough so her car seat is still rear facing. On the way down I stopped 5 times to make sure she was breathing and for a diaper change. We also tried eating some chicken Mcnuggets (yuck) at the top of the parkway because this new mom completely forgot that she needed to eat (bad mommy).

I was much better prepared for the trip back. I timed it so she would nap better and brought some food for the road. I only stopped twice :)

Jade got to see the Atlantic ocean for the first time this weekend and was also able to go to the park with her cousins and swing on a swing (a first too!) - she loved every second of her Jersey Shore vist.

We did celebrate her birthday, she didnt quite know what to make of everything. She had a great time with her cousins, they pooped her out! Enjoy the pics!!!

Love to all -

Wacky Chicken!

I bought this annoying chicken at CVS the other day. It plays the Chicken Dance song (that I refused to have played at our wedding!) really loud and for an uncomfortable length of time. It also dances in a circle, flaps it's wings and it's cheeks blink. Sound annoying- we'll YES IT IS!! unfortunately Jade Su loves it!

I took some pictures of her with the Chicken yesterday, some are blurry because she was also wiggling along with the crazy music. The things you do for your kids huh?

I also finally have a picture of Jade with me!

Hope all is well everyone!!
