Idaho with Poppie and Nana!

This past weekend, I went up to Idaho to attend my cousin Amy's wedding, and also to see my parents who were in town for the wedding as well. Aside from getting into a car accident on the way up there (more about that in another post!) the weekend was great. Lots of thunderstorms and tons of rain! I felt like I was almost back home in Poulsbo! :)

My Accomplistments!

Here's just some pictures from the last few days. I made a cake "for" Silas for his 3 month birthday; soooooo good!



Here's the recipe for those who want it!:

Lemonade cake
1 Lemon cake mix
1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 cup powdered sugar
1 container lemon or vanilla frosting.

Prepare and bake cake as directed on package in greased 9x13 pan. Cool 15 minutes.
Stir together lemonade concentrate and powdered sugar. Poke holes in warm cake with fork. Drizzle lemonade mixture evenly over cake. (EVENLY is the key!! I didn't spread it very evenly so the edges were soaked and the middle didn't have much!) Refrigerate cake until cold.
Spread frosting over cake. Cover and refrigerate leftover cake.
(NOTE: I was thinking that it might be good to use the lemon frosting and maybe stir a little lemon juice into it? I used lemon frosting, and it was so good, but it tastes a little fake lemon-y...Do you know what I mean? Just a thought!!)

Today I went shopping with my friend Morgan and scored TWELVE adorable onsies!



What's the best is I got ALL of those for...$32! Sickening, I know. :) Gotta love TJ Maxx!! Here are two of my favorites:



How could I resist when it says "Life is good on the butt"?!





I couldn't resist snapping a quick picture after his last bath. He really is a dang cute baby! :)

Three months!

I can't believe that Silas is three months today! It just seems like last week that I was putting up pictures for his 2 month birthday, boy how time flies!
Silas is a super smiley baby. Once you get him going, he never stops! He's started to do the body grins where he smiles and the rest of his body moves, too; I LOVE IT! No real laughs yet, but any day now!



Snoozin' away



Happy baby!



I get this face a lot from him, it's too cute.



Silas and I hangin out one morning



BBBIIIIIIGGGG SMILE!




Just chillin'!






This is the most I've been able to get him to do during tummy time. He really doesn't like tummy time, so I try to break it up throughout the day, but I forget most of the time. Yikes!

More, more, and more!

Silas is such a fun, good baby. He has the funniest looks, doesn't cry; unless he's hungry, in which case he screams! It's been so fun to get to know him these past two months, I already can't imagine my life without this little guy!!



He's a very messy eater, but sure does love it!



Pro sleeper, for sure!



He looooooves his binky! When he's getting tired we just wrap him up, pop his bink in his mouth and he's out in 5 minutes!



This is one of my favorite faces that he makes. It's not quite the full fledged cute mad/sadness, I'm still trying for a picture of that!



Baby yawns...

Finally!

I finally accomplished most of the stuff that I wanted to, which means that I actually downloaded my camera software AND put pictures onto my computer! Here's a small sampling:




Silas on his 2 month birthday. He's sitting up and holding his head up all by himself here! 'Course he started tipping over right after this picture, haha.



Look at how long he is!!! 22 1/2 inches, thank you!



We had just both woken up, hence the glasses. Not too shabby though, especially for being self-taken!!



Look at those beautiful blues!



My best friend Cory came out for the week, so much fun! We were hot tubbing at our friend Morgan's place here. :)

Update on the world's weirdest belly button!

Thanks to everyone who told me to call the doctor...I just didn't think it was that big of a deal since it wasn't hurting him. I spoke to a nurse at the doctor's office and she said that while it does sound like a herniated umbilical, as long as it doesn't look infected/irritated and isn't seeping or discharging anything he should be fine until his next doctor's appointment, May 5th. He's also got a little eczema going on, so he looks kinda funky but the nurse just said to put aquaphor on him a lot and it should clear up.

And just for kicks and giggles, here's his funny belly button...

Dress ups!

Cuz what what's more fun than dressing your baby in multiple outfits in one day?!



He was all ready to go to Puerta Vallarta with Nana and Poppie , but they just didn't have room in their suitcase! Let me tell you, he is so upset! (As he snores away in his carseat; I'm the one who's sad that I didn't get to go!)



Ready for the beach, man!



Dang my baby is cute! I can't even be modest about it, he's just too darn cute for that!



Ben's friend Aaron and his wife gave this "pimp suit" to him...As you can see, he's totally swimming in it, but I had to get a picture; it's too dang cute to not!

And also, I'm pretty sure my son wins the "weirdest belly button" award, for his weird-o lookin' one...



I knew that it was funny shaped, and figured that it would go into a normal belly button, but it hasn't and has maybe even gotten a bit bigger? We realized the other day that it's got fluid in it, but neither David nor I are brave enough to do anything about it, and it's not hurting him, so he'll just have a funny belly button til he goes to the doctor again! Hope it doesn't give him a complex later on in life, haha...
