Happy First Birthday Isaac!

My sweet Isaac is one year old today! 

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! I am so blessed to have two amazing little boys! 

I am also super proud to say we made it a year nursing and we are still going strong! Isaac still nurses around 3 times a day! I was so worried about breastfeeding not working out again, but it was very easy for me this time around! I'm so glad it worked out!

Happy Birthday Isaac! Mommy loves you more than you'll ever know! 

Holly Jolly Jubilee Giveaway Hop Sponsor Spotlight! {My Little Legs!}

I'm excited to tell you about my next sponsor for the Holly Jolly Jubilee 2012 Giveaway Hop! This next sponsor is a favorite of mine and we use their products almost daily now! I'm excited to announce My Little Legs as our next sponsor! 

My Little Legs specializes "in all things little". They have so many amazing products for baby's! Not only to they have comfy legwarmers, but they sell bows, bibs,hat, outfits, and even swaddling blankets! I was given the opportunity to review some great products from My Little Legs, including their Holiday collection of leg warmers!! 

We received the Holiday collection of legwarmers to review, along with two crocheted owl hats for the boys, two sets of socks, and a bib for Isaac! The picture above does not do the owl hats justice! They are absolutely adorable and made so well! Every time I go out of the house with the boys in these hats I get comments about how cute the hats are! 

I am completely in love with My Little Legs legwarmers! They are so convenient and keep baby's legs warm and cozy! Pants just annoy me when trying to change a diaper, and half the time I can't get the pants to fit over Isaac's fluffy bum! With the My Little Legs leg warmers I don't have to worry about pants! They make diaper changes easy and there are so many varieties of colors and prints that you can match them up with just about any outfit! 

Here's Isaac in his Holiday argyle print legwarmers!

The socks and bibs are just as cute and cozy as the legwarmers and hats! My Little Legs also carries adorable little rompers for girls as well as bow, headbands, and diaper covers! So you can get something for every child in the family!

Prayers For Tripp

I just wanted to share with ya'll about a little boy named Tripp (2 years old) who lives in my town. Here in Georgia the only effects we got from Superstorm Sandy was really strong winds. On the Monday that Sandy made landfall, little Tripp was playing outside his daycare with all the other kids when a large tree branch fell because of the strong winds and struck him on the head. He was taken to Atlanta where he underwent brain surgery and was put into a medically induced coma. 

Since then he has had many ups and downs. At first the doctors told his parents it was unlikely he would survive. Then, as he started to get better they said he might just pull through this. They were slowly waking him up and were even able to take out his breathing tube. Then last night he was struggling to breathe they discovered he had a collapsed lung and had to put his breathing tube back in and sedate him again. He is not sedated and once again, not breathing on his own. 

My heart just aches for the parents and family of this little boy. I can't imagine seeing either one of my children in that condition. They still have a long road ahead of them no matter what the outcome. It is amazing how our community has come together in prayer and to raise money for this family. One of the main reasons to donate is so that Tripp's mom doesn't have to leave the hospital and can stay by his side through all this. I ask if you pray, to please say a prayer for healing for sweet Tripp and for comfort for his family. 

For updates on how Tripp is doing visit the Facebook page Tripp Halstead Updates and if you would like to donate visit Team Boom For Tripp.
