Guess who is 1 month old now? Yep, this little guy!!
Crazy, right? Times flies, especially when you are living one lonnnng day that never really seems to end. Hello, sleep deprivation! Haha! But, of course, this sweet boy is all worth it. I love him so much.
Ok, so today’s eats and happenings”¦
BREAKFAST
Two-ingredient pancake with almond butter, blueberries, and an iced coffee with chocolate almond milk
+ bacon!!! (I felt like such a weirdo snapping a picture of this piece of bacon! Haha!)
After breakfast, Mal and I took Q to the pediatrician for his one-month check-up. Everything went well, and the little dude is healthy and growing like a weed!
After Q’s appointment, we headed home and a short while later, my sister, Matthew, and my mom came over to hang out.
SNACK
I cracked open a bag of Sunshine Edamame Blend from my friends at CVS/pharmacy to share with my family.
Everyone loved it, and we polished off the bag in a matter of minutes!
The rest of the afternoon whizzed by””playing with Matthew while staying one step ahead of him (our house is totally baby-proofed now) and feeding/burping/changing Q totally consumed me. I can’t believe how quickly the hours passed!
Everyone wanted to say hello to Q! Haha!
Murphy is the best babysitter, and I love that he’s starting to get curious about Q. He actually wants to be around him now instead of peacing out whenever he cries.
Murphy even supervised “tummy time” this afternoon. He’s such a good big brother.
SNACK
Before I knew it, my family was heading home and my stomach was growling like crazy, so I broke into a bag of trail mix and practically ate the entire thing. I never ate lunch, so I was famished!
DINNER
After that, I did a few things around the house, took Murphy for a walk, and then made dinner, which was Trader Joe’s Tofu Edamame Nuggets with Sweet Potato Wedges and ketchup.
DESSERT
Toasted coconut almonds + dark chocolate chunks x 5. I was really digging the chocolate tonight!
