Moss had her 8th birthday yesterday, October 26th! I made her favorite treat, Pumpkin Biscotti. She loves any treats but I have been making this one in particular since the first year we got her. Moss has been with Bob and I since she was 10 weeks old and I can only hope she is around for another 8 years. She is doing awesome with Harper, she never leaves "our" side and is always my support person for all the 2, 3, and 4:00 feedings when it feels like the whole world is asleep. I love you Moss and Happy Birthday!

The Fall
What an amazing week! The weather has been gorgeous so I have been taking Moss and Harper out for daily walks. We stopped for a brief photo by the lake the other day and of course that turned into about a 30 minute ordeal. I'm holding Harper trying to get a few shots with the amazing clouds and Fall foilage and at the same time repeatedly telling my dog to sit and stay in hopes she won't jump in the lake, see another dog, or chase after some bird. If ANYONE saw me, I'm sure they were in stitches or rolling the eyes in disbelief of how crazy moms can be! Mission accomplished, I got a few shots I was going for:)
Friday was great, just like old times. We had our neighbors over for cocktail hour on the patio at Belmonts! You know, my patio that I named after the name of my home, I know, I know, could I get anymore ridiculous sometimes. I popped open this amazing bottle of sparkling wine, it is a white wine by Sophia Coppola. A...ma...zing! Tish and I finished the bottle, we actually didn't share it with the guys! I will post the picture for all to indulge.
I ended the weekend on Sunday with one of my besties, Kelly. I headed over to her house in the late morning in hopes of catching up, coffee drinking, indulging in smut (gossip magazines for those of you who think they may be something weird), and drooling over how sweet our babies are! Well, 6 or 7 hours later, we were at The Cheesecake Factory with a couple kids having meltdowns. Kelly and I are trying to shovel food in while she is manhandling Madeline, her 20 month old and I am fumbling under my nursing cover to feed my 10 week old. It was so hysterical, all we could do was laugh. I told Kelly I was pretty sure at least 2 people caught a shot of the "goods" and she replied it was nothing they haven't seen before! Ahh..what good memories we made. After dropping Kelly and Madeline off, I sang that song, "The Things You Do For Love." It has become my theme song!

The Red Diaper Bag Stories....Blue Dress
So I bought Harper this fabulous dress in hopes of getting a great photo of her at 2 months old. We did have a lot of fun and will get to see the shots soon. Along the way, I had one of my own "firsts".
After the photo shoot, I changed her diaper and stuck the dirty diaper in my quite expensive diaper bag. I splurged on this bag knowing that it would probably turn into my purse. I spent a lot of time shopping for my favorite fashionable diaper bag, it was one of most anticipated purchases. Well mommy readers, do you know where I am going with this? Yes, I left the dirty diaper in my "fashionable,fabulous" bag. When my guests were in town last weekend, I went to the bag to get my nursing cover and there it was...the dirty diaper from the photo shoot! I thought to myself, what a total sleep deprived, multi-tasking, green green green mommy thing to do! I didn't realize the smell would linger as much as it would because when I finally got situated to nurse her.....the nursing cover had this wonderful aroma. This is only the beginning of my diaper stories I'm sure, stay tuned for more exciting moments from "The Red Diaper Bag."

2 months post baby is pretty cool
She is hysterical, she smiles all the time and laughed for the first time this weekend! Bob and I fell in love with her all over again, actually that happens everyday! My favorite babysitters, Nana, Poppie, and my nephew Benjamin, came down this weekend to spend some time with her and I had a girls night out. Kelly, April, Breagal and I went to Dinner and Kings of Leon concert. It was soooo fun and certainly perfect timing post baby! Thanks for the wonderful food and laughs....until next time.
