It's Turn Up Time!

Those were the first words out of my mouth this morning, I kid you not. I did say a prayer of thanks to God after that of course! Ha! It has been a good day and I am very thankful to God for entering into another year. I'm also thankful to all my family and friends that took the time out to call, text, and also the social media greetings. I appreciate every last one.

Hubby is currently out of the country but he was the first to say happy birthday. He called on the 13th his time since he's 7hrs ahead and he also called at exactly 12a.m my time. It's funny because I thought my mom beat him to it because she called me before he did. I got on the phone with him after I spoke to her and I told him he was too late and he told me to look at the time and it was 12:01a.m so my mom actually called too early... Lol. As usual with hubby, parents, siblings and the African friends I have, everyone ended their call with a prayer (we Africans stay praying okay! Lol). My sis Harriet's prayer was funny, I had to laugh midway. She said something like this... "God will cause every man to favor you. Even people that don't like you will favor you and after their done, their eyes will open but by that time, it will be too late". Really?! LOL You better believe I said Amen!

Work was good too. My coworkers decorated my cube and two coworkers brought in brownies and pumpkin cake with cream cheese. They were pretty good! There were two other people celebrating their birthdays today as well and one happens to be the buyer on my desk, the person I work the closest with as the financial planner! How cool is that? I also got a card signed by the whole team. Best of all, I got flowers delivered to my desk from hubby with a really sweet note! I didn't see that coming! My sweet boo!

I was sure glad to come home to my babies, the best gifts I could ever ask for! I bought dinner tonight though, had to give myself a break! We had KFC. Lol. I tried to explain to Mo that it was mummy's birthday but that all went over her head I'm sure. Maybe next year... lol

Really though, I'm beyond thankful to God! He has been too good to me!

Recap: Counterclockwise - Me at work, flowers from hubs(can't wait till they bloom),  dinner, card from co-workers, note from hubs!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! 

Mo is 17 Months Old!

So Mo is also 17 months old today! Unfortunately, I never had the time to do a 15 months update for her but I will definitely be putting one up for her 18 months mark next month! She's busy, busy, busy!

Happy 17 months sweetie!

Demi Is 3 Months Old!

I can't believe Demi is 3 months old already! Time flew by so, so fast. Today was my first day back at work, and you know what? It wasn't bad at all. I missed him but it felt really good to know he was in good hands. So how are you doing Dems? Lets see...

You love to SLEEP. You sleeps so good too! Once you have a full belly, you go down for sometimes a good 3 hours and then wake up, eat, play, and go down again.

You love your bath time! You lay down quietly and just enjoy every moment of it.

You LOVE smiling! I usually get your smiles after a meal. Lol

I give you mostly breast milk and substitute sometimes with formula. You LOVE the real deal and majority of the time turn me into your pacifier.

Speaking of paci's, every time I've tried you with one, you've pushed it out of your mouth. That's good I guess. I'm not even going to force it. If you don't want it ever, that's fine by me!

You're a very light sleeper sometimes and you hate it when your sleep is interrupted. You wake up and give some nasty looks. Lol. 

You're a  big boy and you're starting to wear some 3-6months outfits.

You wear size 1 diapers.

You have a lot of hair!

I love, love your big cheeks!

You're already holding on to stuff and you have a tight grip!

You're starting to make a lot of sounds! I always let you know I hear you. Lol

You're a really good baby. You're mostly upset only when you're hungry and I'm taking my time.

You have big lovely eyes and you focus on things and just take in your environment. You also spend a good amount of time just staring at me and I wonder what you're thinking when you do.

Your nicknames are Baba, Dems Dems, Dems the dude, Love bug, Bubba, and some more I can't think of. Lol

You are growing so fast and I'm making sure I enjoy every moment! I know this stage will be over before I know it. Daddy and big sis love you so much and are also enjoying every moment with you!


We LOVE you Dems Dems!!!

Keep Calm!

IT'S THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR

FALL!

It's so, so beautiful in Bentonville right now. The trees have totally changed. I will have to get my camera out and capture some lovely fall photos, before all the leaves fall off. I stole this off Demi's photographer's Facebook page.
