Keeping a 5 week old baby happy :)

Emmitt has been a little fussy lately, he loves to be held & during the day will not settle down to sleep for more than 15 minutes!

He does love the ceiling fan in his Mommy & Daddy's bedroom though, the following pictures show him happy smiling & talking to the fan!

Emmitt loves his fan :)







Emmitt really loves the fan :)










Then Brandy got in Emmitt's way of the fan, oh Mommy I don't like that!






So if your little baby likes something, don't block their view!! lol

Konad nail art on my nails

In my last post I mentioned that I was going to put a design on my nails & would post a picture.

I chose to do a butterfly in green polish. The one thing I found out today, when putting the clear coat on afterwards, it can make the design run! I had to redo 2 nails. I am pretty happy with it though & this was only my 3rd attempt at doing it!!

Nail Art

I love getting my nails done, but even more, love getting designs done on my nails. When we go on vacation I always like them to do a fun design. The same for Halloween & Christmas!

I came across a company in our Mall selling Konad Nail Art. This had me intrigued, as you can do it yourself at home.

I brought some polish, the stamper, scraper & discs. It uses a special polish that sets practically straight away. Normal polish doesn't really work that well, this is thicker too. I did blue & red stars on my nails for the 4th July weekend. They came out really well, but you don't always get it right on every nail, practice makes perfect!! My nails are due to be done next week, once I have them done & put my new design on, I will take a picture to show you.

This way though, you can change your design weekly, for special occasions or just because you want to! It's so much fun, it is best to shop around on line, for companies that sell the discs. I have found the cheapest sold for $6, but have also seen them being sold for as much as $10.

You can get many different styles of plates.



The stamp & the scraper are pretty much all the same.



You can also get kits, that have everything in them.

Wordless Wednesday

Week 2 without TV!

We have started our second week now without TV. I can honestly say I haven't missed it, hiding this post from hubby in case he comes in the room & looks over my shoulder, don't need him to know that!!

I have actually got more things done. I don't now in the evenings think, okay this show will be on or that show. If I do miss one I love I watch it on the internet instead:)

The computer has become my good friend. I have done more crafting, which I needed to do anyway. Still watch the site hubby paid for, where I can watch UK TV. I don't miss any of the soaps over there, but do like the mysteries.

I do miss watching the news, but again I can get that from the internet. Sometimes it's more up to date too. I can watch a DVD which is good, as I have to wear glasses when using the computer. I don't have to when watching a DVD on the TV.

Now I just need to decide what I do after dinner tonight, DVD or internet:) Enjoy your TV watching tonight!!

Out of the mouth of babes!

Had a wonderful afternoon yesterday, spent it cuddling with my new Grandson, Emmitt. He's only 5 weeks old today & being a fussy baby now! Just like his Daddy was, he will only go to sleep when he's on the move or being cuddled, then his Mommy can't do anything. My nickname for him is Lil' SweetE, which is funny as I have met another blogger & her Grandson is BabyE!

Anyway I digress from my title! Last week I had Emmitt's brother Rion come to stay. We were sitting watching Cartoon Network, when he looked at me with this sly grin & said "I farted, I have a problem with my backside & I don't know how to fix it"!! I had such a job not to laugh out loud!!

This is a picture of Rion in the tub when he was staying with me :)



I just love this picture of Emmitt & Rion & would love to know what Emmitt was thinking!

Falling in love with the sweetest little guy!

I got to show off my Grandson yesterday to my very best friend! We went over to my daughter-in-law's house to visit my Lil' SweetE. That's my pet name for Baby Emmitt. :)

Brandy had been cleaning for our visit, her Mom had come taken Rion to play. I told Brandy when we got there that Marion is family, she doesn't expect a new Mom with a 4 year old & a month old to be cleaning for a quick visit!

I am so in love with my new Grandson, he is a joy to visit with. He's now at the stage though where if you put him down he screams. He is used to being held & in the comfort of someone's arms :)

He was a little bit fussy when we there, Brandy went & fixed his bottle, then I got to feed him. After he had half the bottle, I placed him on my shoulder to burp him & calm him. The next thing I know he is fast asleep. He loves to suck on his arm across his mouth & give himself little love bites!!

Marion took some pictures, when she was checking my camera after each one, she kept saying oh you will love these, I must say I do!! The last picture is Myself & his beautiful Momma :)
