Hey All! I’m Katie and you can find
me over at Yellow Mango Life. I was so stoked
when Elizabeth from Chasin' Mason reached out to me about her Boy Moms feature. I LOVE being a boy
mom! For any of you who have followed me, you know that our little man, Cruz, takes over the pages of my blog more often than not. Mainly because he’s cute,
but he also says some of the funniest things and has better style than most men
I know and for that I have to splash it all over my blog for the world to see.
PC (pre-Cruz), I had this perfect
little picture of our perfect little family which would include my handsome
husband Nick, the hub’s mini me in the form of a little boy, followed by a sweet
little diva. I always thought it would be so great for our daughter to have a
protective older brother to watch over her and beat up all the boys when she
became a teenager.
Flash forward to prego: I still
remember the day we found out we were having a boy (you can read about it
here). I’m generally dramatic and love to put on a show, so you would’ve
thought I had big plans to do a cute gender reveal…but nope. We were
both too excited and couldn’t wait to rip open the envelope. As we saw the
words that read “baby boy” on the piece of paper, I remember the first words
that came out of Nick’s mouth – “I never win the coin flip, but I just won the
biggest coin flip of my life!” It still makes me laugh, get excited and tear
up. We were just so happy.
Flash even further forward to our
life with Cruz and I’m just my happiest with him in our world. He is just as
you would expect, a dirty, smelly, loving, sweet, handsome, intelligent, funny, naughty, amazing little guy.
Here are a few of my favorite boy
moments:
He gives the puggle a run for her money.
He makes a mess, but you don’t care
because look.at.those.cheeks.
He rocks a head remolding helmet
better than any other kid I know.
He’s as dramatic as his mama.
His laugh is the best sound ever.
He is very intimidating.
He doesn’t like to be called a
meatball…evidently.
He passes out while drinking. Eh,
we’ve all been there.
He's amazed by classic movie characters.
Those eyes. They’ll get you every
time.
He’s the best father’s day gift.
Ever. #loveyoulikeafatkidlovescake
I’m telling you he has style.
He’s the best running partner…even
if the stroller gets really heavy around the last mile.
He doesn’t like he’s mama’s cooking
all that much either…
He’s the best date for a wedding.
I just know he’s going to grow up
to be a baseball player…
He is the best dressed at the
annual White Trash Bash.
These two are my world.
When he knows his mama doesn’t want
to give him a bath? He does it himself. By way of falling into the fountain at
the Mexican restaurant you’re eating in. Because he was reaching for the
“monies.”
He loves being with the big boys.
Maybe that’s why he’s already
started talking about nipples. Fortunately his own. And not mine.
He is a great accessory if you are scoping
babes.
And the best shopping buddy.
He has perfected the Al Bundy.
#allboy
He’s fiercely loyal to his stuffed
animal pals.
He can grab us a beer. #dontactlikeyourenotimpressed
He can pull off the interesting
nerdy look quite well.
He is an extremely healthy eater –
I mean broccoli in shells & cheese basically negates the fat content, right?
He IS perfect. And Italian.
And seriously? These guys.
He’s resourceful. Pacifier falls
out? No biggie, let me just grab this thing and stick it in my mouth.
And I’m definitely blogging this.
All about this.
Come on over and check us out at
Yellow Mango Life. We would love to have you…and teach you more about the joys
of being a boy mama.
How sweet!! My little man always has his foot in his mouth.
