cool kristy comes to chicago

not only am i super lucky because i'm married to rich and mama to rhett, but because i have the coolest sister ever, kristy, who came to visit us during her break! how lucky are we? it was way too much fun. i tried to make her move in with us, but she claimed that she still needed to graduate from high school...

goodbyes are hard...

Two Months with Rhettski

time is CRUISING by so fast! our days consist of loving on mr. rhett. he is such a handsome-cute-happy-cool-chill-observant-magical-perfect person (xoxo). he seems to like eating, sleeping, overfilling his diapy, smiling, bathtime, dance parties, tummy time, back massages, letting mom dress him like baby doll (ahah NOT at all actually), making adorable noises and going on walks (when it isn't frigid). he is a pretty darn good sleeper too (thank heaven)! he has melted our hearts.

little cougar

he (or me) doesn't like getting put down, so this carrier is useful

 

playdate with his buddy, braden

just "chillin" with the big boys...

make him stop, right?!

i'm a lucky lady

that smile...

that laugh...

that rhett!

giraffe shoes are dad's fav

he always sleeps with his arms above his head!

eyes on the road, mama! ;-)

MinnesoOoOota Welcomes Rhett

i was a nervous-nelly before our trip to minnesota, but i must say, young rhettski was an adorable little trooper. he slept the entire car ride besides a short stop to eat and diapy change, and he slept like a champ (7-8 hours!) during the nights. he did catch a little cold on new years eve, so we did not stay up to ring in the new year with him.  despite his anxious-mama-nurse being crazy and wanting to go to the emergency room (for bedside oxygen and suction equipment...), mr. rhett recovered quick, and we got home safe and not completely traumatized either. who knew? merry minnesota!

i ride in the backseat now cause i'm cool like that

FOUR generations :)

my grandma, when she held him, would say "ahhh boo boo boo boo boo".  he and i both loved it.

FINALLY wearing his adorable baseball outfit (which grandma got almost 4 years ago...?...)

guess whose is whose?

rhett and uncle tommy boy!

...he isn't sure how he feels about this...but i know he will soon love it!
