A few weeks ago, we had a big blowout bash for Seth's first birthday. I had so much fun planning it! We did a sock monkey theme, complete with sock monkey ornaments as favors (it is Christmas time!). It took him a little bit to get into his cake, but once he got going, he loved it. (He is MY son, right?) But our second attempt at the cake went much smoother when we gave him a cupcake the next day without all the people watching. I think it's safe to say my son has inherited my sweet tooth. (Let's just hope you have daddy's metabolism to match it!).
Thank you to all the friends and family who came out to celebrate our little man. We are so blessed by all of you!
I want to say a special thanks to Oh My Gluestick for the awesome Sock monkey party favor bags, hats, cake topper, and cupcake toppers! I loved it all!!
We could not be more thrilled! I am currently 14 weeks pregnant, due March 30. You may be asking yourself, "Wait, didn't you just have a baby?" Yes, you would be correct. Seth and baby Robbins dos will only be 16 months apart. "Did you plan this?" Sort of. We wanted our peanuts to be close in age (18-24 months apart if possible!), but the Lord had a different plan in mind - and isn't His always perfect? After some fertility struggles with Seth, getting an unexpected blessing was just that - A BLESSING!! Our plan, as of right now, is to not find out the sex. I'm 99.9% sure I do not want to find out, but I have to get through my 20 week ultrasound to say that I'm 100% sure. That's going to be a tough one!
So anyways, that's our big news! Thanks for sharing in this with us! :)
So my husband informed me the other day that I need to post more stuff on my blog. He is an excellent blogger, so I have a lot to learn from him. Now my blog is used for a different purpose - my business - but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun with it as well! So hopefully you will see a change coming in the next few months of more posts about fun stuff I discover, personal stuff in my life, and of course, more Seth. :) I will do my best to stay true to my promise, because typically, when I'm on the computer, I'm having to spend my time editing and not doing as much personal stuff. I need to make more time for that. So for starters, I wanted to share this video that my husband posted on his blog that I found fascinating. As a member of Facebook and Twitter, as well as a user of YouTube, Wikipedia, an iPhone, etc, I'm very much a part of this revolution. It kind of makes my head spin, though, thinking about all of this! I'm almost a little nervous about what it's going to be like when Seth is my age! Crazy!
Anna had her baby! Cole Matthew Bogan arrived on June 2 at 6:42 pm, weighing 7lbs 11oz and 20.5 in long, with a FULL head of black hair- very much like his brother Baron. I was very fortunate to be a part of the birth and take pictures. It's so amazing to watch a childbirth, especially after going through one myself! It's nice not being the one going through the labor :) Sorry, Anna, I did not envy you :)
Cole makes cousin #9 for Seth - he is one lucky kid! We are so excited for the Bogan family! Congratulations! We love you all!!
Dr. Bowen - he delivered all 3 Bogan kids and Seth - we're still waiting for the family discount...
Fortunately, he did not arrive with any paint on him :)
All the cliches are true - they really do grow up fast! I can't believe my little man is already 5 months old. He's going to be starting solids this month....SOLIDS!! It's all happening way too fast - so fast that I haven't posted him in awhile. Here are some recent pictures. Isn't he just the sweetest?
I have a website. I have a blog. I'm on Facebook. And now, I'm on Twitter. So now, you can follow me wherever I go! As I learn the ins and outs of the tweets, please be patient with me! But I'm excited and a little frightened by the new stalker program. Ok, so it's not "stalking" but it's definitely an even more closer look into the life of Leah Robbins. Let's just hope it's not too disappointing. :)
I can't believe Seth is already 2 months old! He has grown and changed so much! He's laughing, smiling, talking, and just interacting a lot more. However, he could be smiling like crazy, but as soon as I whip out my camera, he freezes and loses that sweet smile...Guess that's something we'll just have to work on!
I know I'm a little behind in posting this, but I've been a little busy lately. At Seth's birth, we had Laura Leppert Knabe of Leppert Photography present to photograph this wonderful event. And man, am I glad we had her there!! Not only do I have Seth's birth documented, but she did a fantastic job at capturing the overwhelming joy (and relief after 24 hrs of labor) we all felt at his arrival!! Present at the birth was Matthew, Laura, my mom, and Matthew's mom.
I put together a little slideshow of some of my favorites from that wonderful morning....
So I hope everyone can understand why my blog has been so neglected recently. Between becoming the mother of the most wonderful kid ever and Christmas, I just had more important things to do. But now that things are starting to die down, I'd love to show just a little more of my sweet little man! I've taken a few pictures of my own, and plan on taking tons more (obviously), and my sister-in-law, Diana, did some newborn pics as well. You can see those pictures on her blog. She's amazing, as always!
I've taken just a few pictures of our precious little man, as you might have imagined :) But since I've been so behind on posting, I only have time to share just a few... There will be more to come! I just can't believe how much he as grown already!!
