One month.

Collins turned ONE month old on Saturday, how does that happen?? It makes me so sad that time is flying...only four more weeks at home with my sweet girl before I have to go back to work. Thank goodness my WONDERFUL mom is going to keep her a bit before she goes to a church childcare. It will make going back to work much easier on me I think, and hope.

Anyways, I digress. This month has been the absolute BEST month of my life, we are so in love with our girl, she is an angel. Collins has been such a good baby so far and continues to amaze us every day. We love her more and more it seems, even though I hate how fast time is flying...I do love that each day she is awake a little more and her little personality is slowly starting to show.

We just switched her over to size one diapers over the weekend, the newborn ones were starting to get a bit snug. I'm not sure how much she weighs now, she was 7.6 at three weeks old. Everyone still says she either looks like her daddy or my dad or a "richardson" but not necessarily like her momma Richardson, ha! I think her hair may be starting to slowly fall out, I can't really tell yet; but I do feel like it is getting thinner. It is so long in the back though, she almost has a little rat tail, ha!

Collins love to just lay in her swing and look around, I'll watch her just staring at the little mobile on top as it goes around. She definitely prefers her swing to the bouncy seat, but she likes both and will normally be content in both. Every once in a while she does just like to be held:) One of my favorite things to do (while I have the opportunity to do this on maternity leave, I am taking full advantage!) is to nap/snuggle with her on the couch. Normally after her first feeding in the morning we will snuggle and snooze together on the couch. It absolutely melts my heart to have her wrapped up in my arms. She's also been doing really good sleeping in her crib. She looks SO itty bitty when laying in there though!!

So here are our one month pictures, actually taken yesterday on Sunday. But, Collins has become quite the baby on the go, and on her actual one month birthday she was in Rimini, SC at a wedding! That's for a whole other post though!

My big girl doing so good sitting up!



Love:)

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
