V-day

Celebrating holidays with babies is so much fun. More fun than I expected. I have never been a huge Valentine's day fan. But with Ollie around (and now that he's older) I want to make these days special. And it's so much fun for me. We didn't do anything crazy this year. No baking or card making. We are living at my grandmother's house waiting for ours to be finished- hopefully in March- so getting creative is hard to do when you're living out of suitcases and the bare essentials. But we did put together some V-day cards for the very special people in Ollie's life!!

Ollie is really into all things super heroes now! He has one Avengers shirt that he never wants to take off. Any time they are on tv, we must watch! I love this phase right now. He's such a boy! And he loves tattoos. So I found Superman Tattoo Valentines!! 

He's learning to write his name! A little scared to do the E's. He's such a smart kid. I love how he learns something new every day.

Ta-da!! Oh yes, and I picked the Henry Cavill Man of Steel cards.Win-win. Happy Valentine's Day, Oliver. I was dropping him off this morning, he usually cries when I leave him, but today he wanted me to leave so he could eat all his candy! 

Snow day!

The last 3 days have been quite silly! A lot of work skipping. A lot of waiting for the storm to hit. Finally saying "Screw this! Let's go to Target!!" Getting back from Target and watching the yucky, gross rain turn into beautiful snow flakes!! It's the first snow we have had this winter. Alabama winters are so strange. In a couple days, it will be in the 60s!

We waited a couple hours then stepped out into this!! I love when it's cold enough to snow but not so miserable that you don't want to get out in it. We hung out a while mostly walking the yard and letting Hydi (our pup) run around.

Ollie has started to cooperate more when I take pictures of him. He will pause and give me his cheesiest grin! I love it.

 This turned out blurry, but I really like it. It was almost dark out. No one was driving down the road. It was so peaceful and so quiet and with the snow falling......so perfect.

We woke up this morning and snow was everywhere but melting fast. We slowly drove over to my parents, had a snowball fight, built a snow bear (a dirty snow bear!), and finished off with driving our power wheel all around. Ollie doesn't get the concept of snow angels! He just laid there and looked silly.

Happy snow day!

Introductions

So this is me. I'm Tawnie. I was going through my phone trying to find a decent picture of myself and this is the best I could do. It's my new go-to for profile pics and what not!

So I want to start a blog. I have a 3 year old son (and hopefully more to come). I was crappy about putting together a baby book- do people even do baby books anymore?- so I thought this would be perfect. 

What's my little guy look like?

Oliver "Ollie" Bryant. Born March 30th, 2011. This was the first day we met.

And this is what he looks like now. Almost 3. He has fantastic hair! Super smart. Very strong willed but also very loving. So this is it. The adventures of Ollie Bryant to begin!
