So if you have a child and haven't been to this site it freakin' rocks! Franklin Goose is an organic, "green" children's site, but they have some really cool things. Some things are a bit pricey I'll have to admit but others are reasonable and they're just an awesome site. They had this really amazing promotion that went on in March. If you left a legit review for a product you would get a $5 credit and you could leave an unlimited about of comments. My sister and I of course jumped right on that cause who can possibly pass up free money! Plus our little man deserves the world so ummm...duh we did a ton! (as did a ton of other people who did even more than we did!). They did this to get their name out there and boy did it work. I wasn't sure if they'd actually send the merchandise we purchased with these credits but they sure did!

Our little princes has a whole shower full of stuff waiting for him! Yes a shower full! We don't have closets here and not a lot of storage, so his stuff is in the downstairs shower! I'll have to take a picture of it some time! But anywho here is all the stuff my sister and I scored for out little man and we (well I) plan on ordering from them in the near future because I do have my eye on a couple of other things!

I thought this was the coolest effin tricycle I've ever seen and of course he had to have it!


I have this obsession with airplanes and had to get this. I think this is going to be his 1st birthday present.


These are teethers that I heard were super awesome. I thought they were going to be hard but they squeak and the hubby thought they were dog toys now I'm not too sure about them...


All boys need trucks and these are made from recycled plastics and the green truck is even a recycle truck!


All boys need their own tool sets to work along side their daddy with!


Ok so I loved the rubber ducky and I don't know what I was thinking about when I got the dishes...maybe I'll use them as a gift because they are super cute!


Yes I bought him noise making toys! what was i think?!?! I honestly don't have a clue but he can start his own baby band now!


These are something that I think all kids should have! I don't remember a kid I know not having something similiar!

I am currently obsessed with all things retro and I think I want to give this to my friends little boy for his birthday as he is more age appropriate for it!

But as you can see they stuck to their word and they are awesome! Oh and they have flat rate shipping which is awesome and they do ship to apo! I can't wait to order more stuff for my little man through them! The hubby tells me I need to stop, but eh I don't listen well!

My Little Prince is a Talker!

Our little Prince has officially found his voice! In the last couple of days someone has found the on button and he has been going off for days on end. It is soooo cute to just sit back and listen to him babble on and on in his little baby talk. Although I do wonder where the on/off switch is or at least the translate switch! I have no clue what he's going on and on about but man does he have a good time telling us what is on his mind!

He is probably telling us how dumb we sound when we baby talk him or that our silly faces really aren't that silly!

The hubby is sure loving it though! Oh man he can sit there and carry on a conversation with the Prince for awhile before he gets bored with or before the Prince gets frustrated (I'm sure its frustrating telling people what is on your mind and they have no idea what you're saying or what you want!).

If this is a preview of what is to come he is definitely going to fit into this family of talkers! Plus he has grandparents and aunts that can't wait to talk to him on the phone! They already love to call and listen to him babble in his baby talk!

I do think when the Prince says his first words that daddy is going to pee his pants in excitement though! It is so cute to see how excited he gets with every new little thing he learns to do. I think its almost more fun to watch daddy freak out!

I can honestly say that I've been blessed with an amazing hubby. How many dads really sit down and get involved with every aspect of their children's lives? Mine actually changes diapers and likes doing it because of how excited our little man gets over it! He even rinses out the poopy ones! Oh yeah I have it made! The only thing he doesn't like doing is the bottles and yes those are definitely a pain in the ass with all the parts that go to them (we use the Dr. Brown bottles), but other than that you can't tear him away from his son. I think our little marshmallow man came at the right time in our lives and to the right daddy that is for sure! I don't know what I'll do the first time he deploys!

Our little man already likes his bedtime routine of daddy feeding him and then putting him down for the night. I tried to alter the routine tonight and didn't think much of it but oh boy was he not having it! He wouldn't sleep and just wanted daddy to rock him. I think I'll have trouble on my hands the first night he is gone or has to work nights!

But if you're one of my FB friends you definitely have to check out his little talking videos that I've on there. He is so stinkin' cute! There just are not words to describe what a doll baby he is!
