Watch as I do Sirsasana! :)

Perhaps not very gracefully, and certainly not the best picture quality (thanks, iPhone), but as promised... photos of headstand, as posed by Yours Truly. :)

(I apologize for the use of a pillow for my head. The floor is hard as a... wooden rock, though. And for the booty shots, but you gotta get up somehow!)

First, tripod headstand! I can actually do this one with little effort, and end up smiling -- stupidly, I might add -- the entire time.

And then, bound headstand. You can tell I find this one significantly more difficult, as I make some ridiculous scrunched-up faces and have to remind myself out loud to BREATHE, DAMMIT.

Ta-da! Hope you enjoyed! :)

Father's Day celebrations and my love for Tula

For Father's Day last weekend, at Matt's request, we went to Harper's Ferry for a short hike and to explore the town. We had a lot of fun, and even though we didn't take the actual hiking trail (I mean, that shit was FOUR MILES, we would have died! #outofshape), we really enjoyed the old shops and the historical train station.

While there, I got to try out my new babycarrying love: A standard Tula. I had heard about them from other babywearing mamas, but I've stuck with my Beco Gemini for as long as I possibly could have. Tycho was quickly outgrowing it, though -- it really is suited for smaller babies -- so I had to buck up and get another, larger carrier.

Thankfully, just as I was on the serious hunt for one, Tula came out with a foxes print! They're only available in Europe (and if they ever come out in the US, I'm going to kick myself), so I paid the extra expense for shipping and received my very first Tula a week later.

And let me tell you, people... there's a reason why it's called Tula Love. Because LOVE. It's supportive, lightweight, easy on the back and hips, and generally made Tycho feel weightless... and considering his recent growth spurt, this kid ain't a lightweight anymore. It hugged his body perfectly, helped him feel super comfortable, and didn't bother him in the slightest even considering he was carried in it for at least two hours. I'd say it was a win all around.

Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I enjoyed breaking in our new carrier. We'll have to head out there again when we're not so terribly #outofshape. ;)

Handsome hubby and darling son. :)

Please note the post-baby pudge, which is still there over a year later. YAY.

Family photo! ♥

Our "little" boy ain't so little anymore!

Nenes at the train station. :)

These pictures. These are why I blog. These are why I'm the Mocking Mommy.

We recently signed up for an Ident-A-KID ID, where they get basic information on your child and submit it to a national registry while providing you with a physical and electronic ID. I can't wait to carry this around in my wallet... wonder if anyone would even recognize this kid! Drunk and disorderly:

I cannot stop laughing at my son's expense. OMG.

After I got this, I decided to check out his other mishaps... erm, I mean, photos that we've taken throughout his first (almost!) year of life and share the funny with you. These are in no particular order -- they're not dated, and they're all equally hilarious.

I hope you get a few giggles, too. :)

And the parents that raise this adorable monstrosity of a boy:

Now y'all see where he gets it from. ;)

Photographer love: Megan Evans Photography

Can I just express my undying love for my neighbor, who is not only raising the two sweetest girls on the planet, but who is also an incredibly talented photographer? I just need to share these with you, they're far too amazing not to! They're all candid shots, nothing posed or staged or anything, so you should see her work when she's really in action. ♥
