  • 2 Months with Mr. Man: I’ve finally organized my Bump Pics!

    Last week we celebrated Giacomo’s two month birthday, and on Valentine’s weekend he was 9 weeks old.  He’s so stinkin’ cute if I do say so myself.  His crying is getting better. Just look at one month compared to two months! He likes to be held upright so he can see what’s going on around…

They are really easy and cheap to make. I used inexpensive plastic planters and painted them red. Then I used white caulk to make the spots on the planter.…
