1. FOUR nights in a row this week…homemade dinner done and on the table. I am sooo impressed with ourselves.
Clockwise, from top left: Beef and sweet potato stew (recipe to come!), crispy baked cod, an amazing grilled sirloin courtesy of Jay, and homemade (healthier) eggplant parmesan. If only we could be this good every week.
2. Lucas and I had ourselves a nice little outing to Target yesterday. Also came across a few yummy looking goods…
I did buy one of those items…any guesses which one made it into my cart?
3. Have you guys seen this video yet of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake? #ohmygod If you haven’t watched it, please do it. #youwontregretit
4. Speaking of videos…I got this little gem last night while we were all having family time.
Lucas looooves playing “airplane” with Jay, and I just love watching them. Heck, I just love our little family to pieces. All four of us (yep, even Cody!) spent some time just hanging out on the couch last night.
Love, love, love.
5. Can somebody bring me a box of tissues? I still can’t believe my little baby boy is 2 months old today.
I’ve been pretty emotional the last couple of days, partly due to the fact that he’s just getting so big so quick. This weekend, I’m going to have to start packing up most of Lucas’s newborn clothes, as they’re all getting a bit snug on that growing belly of his!
Seeing as it’s his 2 month “birthday” today, that also means that we’ve got an appointment for his 2 month immunizations. Mommy is NOT looking forward to that. Again…anyone have a box of tissues?
6. Yesterday, I finished putting up all of my favorite fall decorations. It’s looking nice and festive around here!
7. I also painted my nails yesterday for the first time in who knows how long. Definitely months.
I picked this up at Target yesterday, too. Totally loving the color (Smokin’ Hot).
8. As long as Mr. Lucas is feeling okay tomorrow after his shots, Jay and I have our first real “date night” planned and leaving Lucas at home with his grandma. I am so, so excited for a few hours out with the hubby.
9. Talk about giveaways this week, huh? Remember, you can still enter the LaMaLu giveaway up until Monday, but the winner of the Babies”R”Us giveaway has been chosen! Congrats to entry #331 – Laura J!
Congrats, Laura! Please email me at sweettoothcourtney at gmail dot com so we can get you your gift card.
10. That’s all I’ve got for today…wish us luck at the doctor today!
Have a great weekend, friends. xoxo
Claire @ Keeping Up With Claire says
Happy 2 months to little Lucas! Who do you guys think he looks like more? Lately I’ve been thinking he looks just like you, but then I see you three together and think he looks like Jay as well. He’s absolutely adorable!
Courtney says
Haha, we totally go back and forth! Some days, we swear he’ll like more like one of us than the other, then it changes :)
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
Aww such a cute video!! I love that video of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake – I was laughing so hard the other night watching it my husband thought I had gone completely nuts! :)
Paige @ Your Trainer Paige says
omg, that video was hilarious!! #ididn’tregretit
Also, Lucas as an airplane? Heart=melted.
Mandee says
I bet u got the pumpkin m&ms!
I found a lone random mint monster cliff bar at the food store, bought it and LOVED IT! it was so good, now I know where to get more, thanks!
Ashley @ Life and Fitness says
He is getting so big! That video is too cute of you guys :)
Enjoy your date night, you guys deserve it!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I can’t believe he’s already 2 months!! Where does the time go?? Addie stayed in her newborn clothes until around 3 months. Now she’s 5 months, and I’m having to pack up some of her 3 month old clothes … sniff sniff!
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
I’m going to guess that you bought the S’mores Clif Kids Z Bars. I would have! You are the one that introduced me to them :-). But that’s tough because I see Pumpkin Spice M&M’s. Maybe you bought all of the above?
I’ve seen the video and it made me feel like a tool for how much I use hashtags :-)
Courtney says
Haha I alllllmost bought the Z bars…but I went M&M’s
(and will probably go back for the Z bars within the next week) ;)
Anna says
You have such a beautiful family! Lucas is so cute! Congrats :)
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Happy 2 months to Lucas! He’s such a cutie!
I don’t have a baby and I still have trouble getting 4 homemade meals on the table during the week. Haha! Go you!
And any tips on how to paint your nails without making them look like you painted them at home?! Yours look really good.
Courtney says
Aww, thanks! Haha, no tips really…I’ve been blessed with a fairly steady hand. ;) But for big messes, I’ll usually dip a Q-tip in polish remover and just rub along the cuticles.
Ashlee@HisnHers says
I LOVE that video of the little man! He has the sweetest smile. I bet it melts your heart to see jay with him
Courtney says
Oh my gosh, it definitely does. :)
Ashley @ My Food N Fitness Diaries says
They really do grow up way too fast, don’t they? I think I was depressed for a week or two when Hunter passed the “newborn phase”… And now he’ll be 6 months on Saturday, and it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. As excited as I am about new developments and phases, it also makes me sad to think that he’ll never be itty bitty again!
Love, love, love your nails! Pretty color!
Karen says
Happy 2 Months to little man!! He’s too cute!! I LOVE the nail color and might need to pick myself up that color as well.
Anna @ Fitness à la Anna says
Good luck with the shots today, and have fun on your date night :)
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
Awwr good luck to your little guy today! Those appointments are never fun, but I’m sure he’ll be flashing that big grin of his again in no time :D And speaking of which… his smile at the end of your airplane video is just too cute.
Happy Friday!
Melissa @ forloveandtravel says
The two months have gone by so fast. He looks so cute in his “suite and tie”. :)
Loving that Jimmy and JT Hashtag video, it’s so funny!! #mustwatch #lovethemboth, lol. Hope the shots go well today. I always found that a little baby Advil worked well before the shots. Helps with fussiness and fever. Good Luck.
Lauren says
Congrats on making dinner 4 times, I know how difficult that is with a newborn! Good luck with the shots today and hooray for vaccinations! When my son got his we ended up giving him baby Tylenol which really helped with his fussiness. He also slept a lot, which was kinda nice. Have a great weekend!
Hope @ With a Side Of Hope says
That picture of Lucas next to the monkey is so cute!! :) I love that nail polish color. Might need to pick it up! :)
Lauren says
Good luck at the doctor to both of you ;) The pumpkin spice M&Ms are THE BEST. We all know those are the ones you chose, I mean… Who wouldn’t? ;) I love the Essie nail color! I got the dark green but this was the one I was choosing between. I might go have to pick it up!
Courtney says
Bahaha, you are correct with the M&M’s guess ;)
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life says
AHHH Lucas! He’s so big now! I love the onesie with the tie on it, haha too cute! ;) Bravo for getting a homemade dinner on the table 4 nights in a row!! That’s incredible (I couldn’t do that and I DON’T have a baby!)
Lisa says
I seriously am loving that Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake video. So awesome.
It’s just amazing.
I love that Essie color. It’s so perfect for Fall time.
Holly @ EatGreatBEGreat says
I have got to get some of those M&Ms!!!! So good!! OMG…that video of Lucas is adorable!!! That smile is so precious! Happy 2 month birthday Lucas!!! Love that nail color!
Have a great date night and weekend Courtney!
Emily @ The Good Era says
Good luck at the doctors and enjoy your date night! :)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I’m totally with you on babies getting too big too fast!!! I want to cry about the fact that the girls are a month old on Sunday.
John and I are having our first date night tomorrow too! I can’t wait to have a glass of wine. I am so so excited about it!
Courtney says
Woot woot for date night! We’ll have to make a mental note to hold off on any texts until Sunday then ;)
Jessica says
I hope you didn’t buy the pumpkin spice M&M’s because I bought them and they are not great. There is not much for pumpkin flavor at all. And don’t buy the candy corn M&M’s they are way too sweet!
Courtney says
Oh noooo, don’t tell me that!! :(
But I do agree with you on the candy corn ones…I bought them last year and definitely was not much of a fan.
Crystal D. says
Lucas is sooo darn cute and I love the video of him playing airplane with daddy! Love that smile! Good luck at the dr. today. My son has his 6 month check up this afternoon and he is also getting some shots. Poor little guys!! I cried when he got his first shots. I actually cried more than he did. And if we are being honest here I still cry more than he does with his shots. He is a tough little cookie and I am just a big wimp!! Good luck and have that box of tissues ready! I know I am going to have mine ready! :)
april says
happy 2 months to lucas! i just love the picture of him sitting in the chair with the monkey that’s as big as him =)
have fun on your date night!!
FitBritt@MyOwnBalance says
Good luck! Love that nail color!! So cute! Lucas is adorable as always!!
Sammy @ Peace Love and Ice Cream says
I actually bought BOTH the Zbars and the m&ms yesterday at Target! lol That video is hysterical #iLoveJustinT! And that’s a great fall polish color!! Your son is adorable and time TOTALLY flies….my ‘baby’ just turned 4! He will be fine after the shots – they hurt you more than they hurt him – Enjoy your night out (you deserve it!!)
-Sammy @ peaceandloveandicecream.blogspot.com
Melissa @ Freeing Imperfections says
Okay, can I just say I loved that video of Lucas? Your laugh is great & he’s so cute!
Hope the shots go well. I can barely deal with it when my dog has to get shots. I can’t image a sweet little baby.
Kelly says
Love the nail polish, possibly obsessed with Essie and I definitely have that color and its so perfect for fall. The video of Lucas is just adorable, especially that huge smile at the end. And good luck at the doctors! As someone who pretty much grew up, and still spends almost all her time, in a pediatricians office I have seen many babies getting their shots. Yes, I’ll admit, sometimes there is a bit of screaming (parents, baby, who can tell?) but when they come back to check out they are usually calmer. So it may be really hard for a little bit of time, but then your happy guy will hopefully bounce right back! :-)
Angela @ Health's Angel says
I want those M&MS now…
You have the sweetest little family! Hope you have a wonderful weekend and date night!
Amanda @ Pink Runner Girl says
Good luck at the dog! Happy 2 month birthday to Lucas! You guys are like the perfect little family.
I love that video of JT and Jimmy. I was crying I was laughing so hard!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
Please tell me that it was the M&M’s!! I really want to know how they are!
Courtney says
Haha it WAS…and they’re delicious! :)
Laura @losingrace says
Awe, such a cute video! It’s crazy how fast they grow, I’ve been watching my nephew double in size by the day I feel like!
I also really like that Essie nail color, definite fall hue!
Elliek says
Waiiiit… Already two months?! It feels like four weeks ago that you announce your birth and labor, ha ha. And its def. an emotional time when they go through these stages around two and three months. My Selah is a little over three months already and she’s changing so much!!! Let’s cry together Courtney. ;P I hope the appointment goes well which I’m pretty sure it will. The fact that you stand next to him and hold them right back up after the shot will soothe him immediately! <3
Courtney says
Haha ok that sounds good! I’ve got the tissues ;)
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Can’t decide if he looks more like you or Jay! So cute!!! You have nail painting skills they’re salon perfect!
Annette@FitnessPerks says
Cute airplane!! :)
Good luck today at the doc’s!
Chelsea @ Chelsea Eats Treats says
I literally JUST painted my nails Smokin’ Hot last night. I saw the color at CVS and couldn’t resist! It’s on my toes too. Guess we are nail polish twins this week!
P.S. Lucas is TOO cute in that airplane video. Love him!!
Sarah C says
Your family is adorable! I have followed your blog for a long time and love the new addition! I am due in March And planning on doing a weekly or biweekly bump postlike you did. Did you take your pictures the same time of day for each pic?
Floey says
Cooking with a newborn is so impressive! I can’t even cook for myself and I have zero kids hahaha. I’m always too exhausted once I get home.
Heather @fitncookies says
I hope the doctors went well and you are enjoying a night out! You deserve it :) I can’t believe he is 2 months old, either. Time flies when they are babies!
Nicole says
Loved the little smile from Lucas at the end of the video, and I need to find those MandM’s…definitely a mission for the weekend ;). Have a great weekend!!
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Aw, love the video… so cute! Love the nailpolish color, too! I’m definitely getting into the darker fall shades!
Leigha @ Minougirl says
How did two months go by so fast?! Hope all went well with the shots :) I’m gonna guess the m&m’s made it to the cart ;)
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Happy 2 months to little Lucas! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that his shots go well! I saw that video on Instagram and thought it was just adorable…cannot believe how big he’s getting!
Kristi says
I had my mom stay in the room with my daughter when she was a baby and needs to get shots. I just couldn’t take it.
Danica @ It's Progression says
I hope you had a fun date night!
I can’t believe Lucas is 2 months already!
Lisa @ runningoutofwine says
What a cute video! Also, I love that nail polish color! Perfect for fall!
Haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine says
I’m impressed as well! I wish I had that motivation. I’ve been sticking to soup and grilled cheese or pb toast and fruit for most of my snackage needs. Haha! :)
Nala says
Good for you – those homemade meals look delicious!! Lucas is adorable. You really have a beautiful family of four! Hope everything goes well for Little Lucas with his shots!
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says
Okay, now I have to go to Target and get those Z-Bars!
And…I just can’t get over how much Lucas looks just like Jay in that pic of him sitting up with the stuffed animal! So adorable.
Cait says
what color polish is that? love!
Courtney says
It says it in the post ;-) Smokin’ hot
Cait says
oh my goodness you are right! long day!
