Baby Mason: Three Months

Mason turned 3 months on the 24th of May. I had this post ready to go for the 26th when he had his doctor appointment. Then I did this thing where I completely forgot about it and missed it :S  Cami had been up throwing up all night, plus Mason woke up 2 or 3 times instead of just once. I was exhausted to say the least. I took the morning nap with Mason and slept right through his appointment and then realized it 2 hours later. We went to his appointment yesterday - so I finally got this typed up and ready to post :)

He was much harder to get a good picture of this month because he was wiggling SO much. As evidenced by the picture below where he was just shaking those arms and legs!

May Photo-a-Day: my month in pictures

May was a hellaciously busy month. The kids had tons of school events. Nick built a bunch of things. The kids got sick and passed it back and forth for 2 weeks. School ended. Mason got so much bigger and personable. I got a new car! SO busy!

Day 1: I can't believe how big Cami has gotten. She's kind of a little diva - full of attitude ;) // Day 2: We spent the weekend working on Cami's first grade scrapbook project for school. She has a newfound love of washi tape! // Day 3: Tried the s'mores frappuccino - not a huge fan. It's really sweet. // Day 4: This little butt has got the best facial expressions haha

My May TBR List

Howdy! It's now past mid-May...how awful that I'm just now getting this posted, right? I'm not expecting to get anything really read this week, but since the kids are out of school on Thursday - I'm hoping the no-running out of the house will mean I may fit in some reading here and there before May ends.

Possible May Reads: 

• Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice [new series]
• The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams [new series]
• Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Firelight by Sophie Jordan [new series]
• The Shadows by J.R. Ward [continuing series]

Bout of Books 13.0: Goals & Daily Updates

I almost forgot that I had signed up to participate in BOB 13...it's my 10th time participating. My last BOB was posted on my teacher blog: here. I have been failing hardcore at reading since having Mason. Most nights, I obviously want to just sleep instead of read, instead of my typical read to be able to sleep. My goal is to read a little bit every day...whether it's a page or a few chapters. I'm almost done with one book right now and had started reading a little in another, so I'd be happy to just finish one of the two.

Goals:

• Read a little every day
• Finish 1 book [my goal for 2015 - one book a week]

End Results:
Books read:

Pages read: 41 pages
Books finished: 0
Final Thoughts: I'm not overly enthusiastic at my end result here. However, I'm not too disappointed with myself. I have a baby man who requires a lot of attention and that makes me pretty tired at the end of the day when I'm used to reading. I also ended up with a sick 7 year old during the weekend and that made me even more tired and busy! I look forward to the next BOB and hope that it will be a more "successful" week of reading :)

April Photo-a-Day: my month in pictures

April flew by. I think probably the quickest of any month. I recently have begun to cut out my morning nap with Mason in favor of blogging and showering. I'm still not 100% on that - there are some mornings I just need more sleep. For the most part, he's a great sleeper and only wakes up once or twice per night. I tried, again, to have less baby pictures make the day cut...but it's so hard. I take a million pictures of him. He's so cute :) Anyways...here was my April!
