Party, Party, PAR-TAY... Party!

Happy Birthday Baby Brady!

So today was the Brady-Man's 1st birthday! For all of you wondering who this beyond adorable little guy is, he belongs to one of my very best girlfriends that I have known since elementary school.


Now here is how the day played out. A 20 minute drive, meet and greet, say Happy Birthday then...


run for the swings! Brady's grandparents are the coolest! They had an awesome playset:)


Then we moved onto the tree...

and climbed that for awhile.

From there we spotted the baseball bat.

Then the ball.


Then the next logical thing seemed to be...


hit daddy with the bat!


Of course these pictures don't do Kobi's excitement justice.



He was so excited by the big kids (aka parents) playing football, wiffle ball, whatever, that he just kept running in their playing field with the bat. Yep... that's my kid hitting you with the bat!

Next thing this 1 year old remembers is being whisked away to the next party. That's right! Two parties in one afternoon.

At this party there were frisbee's (that Kobi rather wear), bubbles and people playing basketball.

Kobi's 1st Slam Dunk:)
So with a day like this here is Kobi pictured below after about one minute of being put in the carseat.

Night Night Little Man!

Can't They Stay Small?

Already opening doors... such a gentleman!

Hey There Good Lookin

I did it! Yes people I did! The old camera has been retired and a new (much cooler one) has emerged! I'm still trying to get the gist of how it works but have finally settled on the Nikon D60. It is so awesome to be able to just click, click, click away because God knows with a slow shutter speed and toddler running around I had had it with all the "missed good shots"! I am so happy with my new purchase!!! Can you tell? Apparently the D60 is also one of the smaller DSLR's out there and so I'm feeling oh so hip. Now if it only came in pink... LOL! I just wanted to thank everyone for their tips and advice. Trust me they were all fantastic and such a huge help in this department. Believe me... I am truly camera illiterate! :)

Of course I needed to throw one black and white in but I am just blown away by the Nikon's color! All these photo's were taken on the "Child's" setting. Who needs a manual this camera is fool proof!

Tub Time

Isn't everyone this excited at bath time?

Happy Easter 2008!

This Easter we had two very special guest...

and Kobi was beyond excited!

(Leaning in for the kiss)

For some reason I just love this "butt" picture:)

*Like I said these two puppies were GUEST! They belong to my sister aka Auntie Cassie and I think Kobi wished they belonged to him.

Hope everyone had as happy an Easter as Kobi!

2nd Day of School...

Success!He still didn't nap but had fun dancing to his CD during school that was left in his backpack by a certain mama:)

*Extra bonus for the day:

Three new chairs have made their appearance!

Yep... the 3rd one is a beanbag but hey Kobi needed a new jumping toy. LOL!

Energized and Ready to Go!

First off I must start out by saying a warm THANK YOU to all those cyber hug givers! You all are so awesome and really brought up my spirit since the last post:) Now moving straight to business...I so solemnly swear there will be no more mama meltdowns while you check in on "Kobi's World". All is good right now. LOL! The spa day on Friday did wonders. As I took some remarkable mommy advice to heart from fellow friend Kristen. The daycare situation has come to a cease-fire and dare I say it... Kobi just had his first day of school today! I was such a proud mama this morning when Kobi and I walked hand and hand right through the front door, down the hallway, greeting other children and marched right into "THE ROOM". Now I'm talking about the 2-3 year old classroom here people. Where my son is greeted by other 2 year old comrades immediately. Now a part of me seems to think "How could it be this easy?" Could my Kobi man actually take right to his teacher and surroundings just with a snap of the finger? Wishful thinking! All I can say is the "terrified yell/ screaming marathon" roared its ugly head from the moment I left the room until (from what I've heard) the moment daddy came for pick-up seven hours latter. There was no nap to be had, endless tears and my Kobi man portraying Gandhi as you guessed it... he refused to eat. So on a lighter note here are some Kobi pictures that were snapped "pre" school/ daycare.

Honestly I don't have a clue how much longer the crib will last. The mattress is literally resting on the floor and yet Kobi looks like he could climb out whenever he very well pleases.

Certainly not a photogenic picture but doesn't he look like a 3 year old? He may be the youngest in his class but I kid you not he's got some height on those other kiddo's. Must take after his daddy:)

Wish us luck tomorrow as we make yet another debut at school. Were gonna need it!
