Life Being an At Home Mom!

Well here are the highlights of my first week being an at home mom! This was the first time Rocky and I have had a day off together, and not been out of town, since I went back to work. We used to work opposite days so on his two days off I would work all day. I'm glad we don't have to do that anymore, it was nice having two days off together:)

We took Ashlyn to the park one day! She loved it!


Ashlyn loves being outside in her stroller! She was so excited sitting there watching the birds and ducks. It is funny how kids naturally like animals, she loves our cats too!

It looks like this duck is doing yoga to me. I don't get how they balance on one foot while they are sleeping. (He was sleeping until I came up to take this pic!)

This is a video of her a the playground:)


She was so tired after playing. When we got to the car she was asleep like this.


So exhausted! She loves cuddling this purple bunny while she is sleeping! I think it is cute, Rocky thinks she is going to have attachment problems! LOL

Our friend Allie had her first birthday so we got to go to her birthday party!


It was really hard for all the other kids to be patient while Allie opened her gifts, they wanted to just dive in and start opening them for her. They all did really well though:)


Allie was not sure why this big group of people was standing around staring at her and trying to get her to eat this cake.



We also celebrated my first mothers day! (Somehow I forgot to take pics of this event) Rocky got me a gift certificate for a full hour consultation at the MAC cosmetics store, flowers, took me to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, and of coarse, made it possible for me to be an at home mom! Rocky definitely knew the perfect gifts for me on mothers day! Ashlyn pooped while we where at the Cheesecake Factory so that was Ashlyn's gift to me! She knows how much I love poopy diapers in public places, especially in really busy restaurants!:) HA HA


The second half of the week Rocky and Ashlyn were sick so I got to take care of them. This was Ashlyn's first cold, poor little girl just wasn't herself. Even though changing poopy diapers in restaurants and taking care of sick families aren't the funnest things about being a mom, I still love them and am grateful to be the one that GETS to do them:)

Happy first mother's day! Very exciting.

Okay, you have to look at that first picture of Ashlyn. It looks like there are birds on top of her head. Love the sunglasses and hat by the way.

What a great first week of being home full-time! I'm so happy for you! And, sounds like your first Mother's Day was fantastic - Rocky is awesome! LOVED the pics of Ashlyn at the park on the slide and swing! So cute! Sorry to hear that BOTH Rocky and Ashlyn were sick! I spent the last three days SO sick - NOT fun!

Ashlyn is so adorable! You're gonna have so much fun watching her grow. She'll even act like you at times! That's a trip! What a great mom you are!
