Jay's 2 Month Update... They see me rollin'

Forgive me, I'm going to sound like a broken record a lot on

 these updates because every month that passes I am

 amazed at how fast the time goes. Our (not so) little

 man is TWO months old today!

This month has given me some extra freedom as I have started

 pumping (yay!) and have the ability to leave Jay with his 

grandparents if I need to. I can't remember if I mentioned it 

in my last post, but it has been such a blessing to live in the same

 town as both my parents and Scottie's. Not only is it

 helpful for us to have two sets of loving babysitters 

right around the corner, but I'm so excited for Jay to

 have both sets of grandparents be so present in his life.

Jay got his first set of shots at the doctors, and I think it was harder 

for me than him. Don't get me wrong, the boy screamed, but within

 a minute he was asleep in his car seat. Tough little guy =)

It is so much fun watching him develop. Every day he gets bigger

 and does new things. Mornings are the best with him. 

After a nice meal and clean diaper this baby is SO happy and talkative.

 I want to just squeeze him in the mornings, but instead of risking 

his safety I just take a bunch of pictures. 

We work a lot on "tummy time"

 throughout the day because after about 5 minutes of

 it he is SO over it.

 Yesterday we were doing tummy time on the floor 

and OH MY GOSH, y'all.. He ROLLED OVER!!!

 I seriously was in such shock that I kept saying "you're not going to roll over are you?

 Are you rolling over right now?!" I wish I would have 

grabbed my phone and gotten it on video but, like I said, I was freaking out at the time.

Jay has started to give me some time to sleep at night 

which makes me

 like him a lot more, ha ha. 

We have a nightly routine of bath, lotion, 

diaper change, and then I nurse him to sleep and it has 

worked wonderfully! 

He sleeps from about 9pm to 2-3am. 

Hallelujah!

I'm really looking forward to the next few months when

 his head control

 gets a little better and I can 

just prop him on my hip and get movin' around town.

Happy two month birthday my little chunk!

Someone is One Month Old today!

Holy smokes, it's been a month! One month ago, 

I was getting very anxious and annoyed that I was
still pregnant and ended up trying everything in the book
 to induce my labor. If I could have told

 myself something one month ago
 it would have been: 

"self, GO TO SLEEP... for the love of God... Sleep NOW!"

 In all seriousness, this has been both the longest and fastest
 month of my life. We are so in love with

Jay and usually end up staring at him for the majority

 of the day. He's so cute... I know I might be a little biased,
 but really... try to look at the kid and not smile.

 I dare you =)

Jay Pearce McBride was born May 2 at 6:11pm.
7lb 6oz and 21.5in long

We had a waiting room filled with our family.
It was such a blessing to have
 everyone there for
 support throughout the day

My heart be still... Scottie LOVES to sit and stare at him 

TIRED mom and dad

Like any normal Florida baby, we had to bring 

him to the beach within his first 

month of life. 

He did really well and surprisingly LOVED the 

life-vest and boat ride. 

The windy beach was another story, though. 

We will work on it...

Happy One month birthday to the sweetest, cutest, little man

 on this planet.

 I am so excited to watch you grow =)

A nursery fit for a... err... little man?

Jay's nursery has slowly but surely come 

together and is FINALLY complete. 

Just in time for him to get here which could be any

 day, but I have a bad feeling that he will make us

 wait until after his due date. As much as I

would like to have him inherit

my promptness, I have

a feeling I won't be so lucky. 

I've really had a blast getting everything together

 for the nursery and making it into his own little Man Cave. 

If anyone knows Scottie, they know

 he loves the outdoors and is ALL boy. 

I wanted to decorate the nursery with that

 as my inspiration without looking like I purchased everything from

 the Duck Dynasty line. I think I've succeeded and am

 really happy about how everything turned out, 

along with the fact that I didn't spend an arm 

and a leg decorating. 

Just a few more weeks and we get to fill this room 

with our little boy =) 

The suspense is killing me! 

The wooden monogram is one of my favorite parts of this room.
I ordered it unfinished from Etsy and painted it navy to match
the rug and bedding

 

I painted this Buck head on to some pallets that
Scottie nailed together for me. 

This wooden Snook is a really cool addition
to the nursery- I found it on Etsy! 

Scottie had this lamp in his room growing up.
How cool that we can incorporate it
in the nursery!?

I just can't with these shoes. They were too cute NOT
to display

This Pottery Barn rocker is not only totally
adorable, but it was a special gift
from my childhood BFFL and makes
me think of her and the fam
every time I see it

This was another one of my craft projects.
Love this verse.

We found this inexpensive basket for all of the blankets
and sheets at Marshalls. 

These numbers turned out great. I'm no Picasso, but those
stripes and polka-dots are
pretty amazing if I do say so myself. 

I HAD to have a TV in his room for what I have heard
will be endless hours of feeding.
