Baby shower!!

I don't think I ever mentioned on the blog but I'm going to be an AUNT!!! My sister and her hubby are expecting in April and we went to WI over the weekend to throw her a baby shower!!

There were lots of people and I barely spoke to anyone (due to being the hostess and the offical drink maker!) so I apologize!

Amy and Luke are pretty much set and we had a wonderful time! Mateo is super excited for his baby cousin Cash to arrive!!

Mateo had to give an early present. It's a onsie that says

 "Cousins Rock" with a guiter. Taye's shirt is the same, just in black.



First Blood - and I'm not talking Rambo

Mateo is pure boy (black eye at 10 mo) and he's always running and on the move. That means he trips and falls multiple times a day but usually nothing to big.

However, on Super Bowl Sunday, he was running around like a crazy person and somehow fell into the big speaker. He screamed and I thought he had hit is head. So I grab him and am calming him down and looking at his head. I didn't see a mark and couldn't understand why he was crying so hard. And then I saw it...what is that red stuff!! He had cut his ear.

The next thing I remember is yelling to joe "I need something...blood...I need something." To which he asked what I needed and my reply was "blood...I don't know."

It was kinda comical as I was not expecting to have to deal with that at this age. Guess what else, it's really hard to have a toddler sit still so the ear can stop bleeding...nearly impossible. So, at 14 months old, we have our first incident involving blood...how do I survive the next 18 years??

Ok - so looking at these pictures now, it doesn't look like

 that big of a deal but I promise you it was horrifying
