Elliott is 3 months old!

Here Elliott is from 2 Months to 3 Months

He is now smiling and cooing like crazy! He loves to look at himself in the mirror and he is very fond of eating his hand. Also the poor boy is loosing his baby hair!

Oh, did I mention Elliott's room was featured in a blog article check it at Designfile

XOXOXO

Here is a little video of him smiling and cooing...

Let Talk Project Runway

This is mostly for my old Project Runway Crew in SLC.

This week I really liked the pregnancy challenge because I just went through trying to find outfits that were cute and comfortable for my prego body.

I agree that Shirin's design was the best.

I wish I had that coat while I was prego. I loved it!

I disagree with Malvin being eliminated.

Yes, his design was wierd, but at least he executed it. (Although looking at that picture of him... I would probably have eliminated him for that! HA!)

I think Mitchell (aka: Ian)

has not been able to execute his ideas for both challenges. His cracks under pressure. Those shorts were awful!

Who do I think will win?

I like Louise's Style, but I'm afraid she will get stuck in era designing like Kenley did in the last season.

So I'm thinking Irina has something up her sleeve! I really liked the dress she made too.

So far I am enjoying this season of Project Runway!

The Best Thing About Back To School

Is the clothing. It's the only upside to having to go to school and feeling the weather get colder.I Love Fall because it is the best season for clothing . I love the textures and colors and these are some of my top pics:

I love a classic Pea Coat. As far as style goes, they stand the tests of time. This one is from Delias.com
I'm loving the neck on this coat from Urban Outfitters and it would be great for when you are wearing a dress.
You have to have a short sleeve light knit shirt for Fall. This one is from Banana Republic and I love the deep Cinnamon color.
Ok- I LOVE these jeans from anthropologie, but they are ridiculously expensive like $235 expensive. So it is on my "if every had too much money" wish list! Anthropologie also has some less expensive jeans and they are the same brand for $178

And finally my favorite of them all... this dress sums up Fall for me with its rich colors and variety of textures. Found at where else but Anthropologie!

Getting Back in the Game

It's time for me to get serious... about loosing this baby fat. Elliott is almost 3 months old and Fall is creeping up...which means pants! I would like not to buy a whole new wardrobe for Fall and not just because I can't afford it! This week I fit into a pair of my pre-baby jeans! It was a tight fit, never-the-less I got them on!

Some of you might remember I had to cancel my gym membership after Tay couldn't find a job. My very supportive mother-in-law, Shauna, stepped in and gave me an early 3oth birthday present... some cash to get a years membership at the gym!

So the goal has been set:

Currently I weight 150 :(

The short Fall goal is 140 ;)

The ultimate goal is 130 :)

This coming week I start school. So I need to get very organized to be able to accomplish this goal. For Tue and Wed I work and goto school from 9am-9pm. So I'm making pre-made meals so I don't starve myself to death and then eat whatever crap is available. After this week I will be able to get a better idea of when I can slip some exercise into my busy schedule. Luckily, there is a 24 hour fitness right next to my school!

Anyway, here is to a new Semester, Fall, and my 30th Birthday... all creeping up very fast!

One Cute Boy!

Here are some pictures of Elliott in Grandpa Leasure's yard. He is a little less than two months. They are taken by Angie Seare, she takes Deacon's Pictures too! Isn't he the cutest!

2 Months Old!

I can't believe it's been two months since I had Elliott! He is now 9.15 pounds and 22 inches.

A few things I love about being a mom is being able to see the world threw Elliott's eyes. He is so amazed by the littlest things and it's so fun to be apart of that amazement. Also being able to experience Elliott's firsts... first bath, first plane ride, first meeting of the people I love... he has experienced so much in these past 2 months.
