What is it with men and babies that makes women go weak at the knees? Girls love when guys show a softer side and talk about tiny toes and cute little things.

Case in point… this is a conversation that I had with Irving this week after I sent him to Target to pick up wrapping paper for Ashley’s shower:

 

Irving: Just 2 rolls?

me: yep.maybe one baby roll and one roll that we can also use for birthdays in case i don’t use it all. does that make sense?

Irving: I found 2 cute ones.

me: ok cool

Irving: One is baby boy. The other is baby generic.

me: can we do one baby generic and one that could pass as baby and also adult birthday?

Irving:  Just baby today.  Sorry.  Too cute.

me: hahahaha ok good to go then

 

Can’t argue with that, right? Awee!

PS… these were the two wrapping papers:

Ashley’s family lives back on the East Coast, and they wanted to be part of the Baby Shower action too! So her sister and mom organized a ‘Skype Shower’ where everyone could “see” Ashley open up all her gifts!!

It was SUCH a cute idea. All the gifts were shipped to my house so they would be a surprise! And they even sent us plates, napkins, balloons and favors that matched theirs!

Before the shower, Ashley came over early and made me homemade crepes! (Learning how to cook, remember?)

It was so easy!

The key is the nutella and the whipped cream (obviously!)

  Since last week was our anniversary, we celebrated by going back to New England (where we got married) and doing a little roadtrip.

We flew on a redeye flight, and the sky was gorgeous as the sun was rising! Look at the moon!

We landed at 5am, so we took the T across the city to Harvard Square to get our rental car.

Early morning city:

Guess what we rented!!!

A Smart Car!

It was actually pretty roomy for all our luggage!

Our first stop (after grabbing some Dunkin Donuts Coffee) was to visit my lovely friend Shelby, who just had a baby, Harper, a couple of months ago!!

I miss my friend!

Harper was as adorable as I expected.

Love!

Irving held her for a while and Harper actually fell asleep in his arms!

But she loves her Daddy!

Later we watched the World Cup Semi-Finals

Irving was so excited tired that he fell asleep on the couch!

Looks like everyone was a little sleepy!

So Shelby and I took full advantage of the quiet house and played a game of Blokus!
