Baby Einstein Boy

posted on: Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Yesterday we got so much done! While packing, I made a little fort for Forest boy out of a box and gave him my iPhone with the Baby Einstein app. He laid there for over 20 minutes, completely mesmerized by the Mozart and Ocean videos, just chillin'. :) I thought it was the cutest thing ever and wanted to share!

Today is our last day in our yellow house. It's kind of bittersweet. More on the sweet side though. Since moving to the Carolinas, after Sam and I got married, I've only lived right across the border of Charlotte, in a sweet little South Carolina town. :)  So, it's kind of a big deal. I'm SUPER stoked though. We are going to take the first car load over to the new bungalow this afternoon! There is something magical about having the key to your new house on your key ring. Time to plan where the furniture is going to be placed and put our china away in the cabinets. I'm dancing a happy dance that the move is almost over and that peace, calm and active creativeness can happen in my life a little more easily again. ;) Maybe my next post will be from our new house!?

Beautiful Tuesday to you lovelies!



He pulled the top flap down and was quite cozy in his little secret fort. 


Kissable belly!

    Kael, in that box, with that iPhone, watching his Baby Einstein video has got to be one of my all time favorite pics, ever! (And I have lots of Kael favs!) ;-)

    You know Jess, you are truly one of the coolest mom's ever! Kael is gonna have so much fun growing up with you as his momma! XO

    PS - I want to kiss those adorable toes!

    This is absolutely amazing. I was just telling Josiah yesterday that I can't wait until Aveline is old enough to enjoy forts. (She's 6 months.) I seriously can't stop looking at these pictures of Kael in his little fort. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

    (I read your blog faithfully but hardly ever comment -- bad me!)

    My husband thought this was the most adorable pic we have seen yet! He said it reminded him of the commercials of the baby who does the "E-Trade" apps! So stinking cute! That little Forest of yours hold such Joy!!!
