Friday Favorites

YAY for Friday!!! I'm looking forward to a super fun and relaxing weekend filled with friends and family! We've got birthday parties, girls movie night, a trip to the zoo, a concert & lots of other fun things in store :) Linking up with Erika for Friday Favorites.

I'm obsessed with my Ninja.  I have used it TONS in the past for smoothies, chopping onions {they make me cry like CRAZY!}, and lots of other things too. Lately, I've been using it for making Coby's baby food.  I halfway considered buying some kind of baby-food-prepping-gadget...but after looking at the price...I decided I would try without first.  As nice as the Baby Brezza looks...my Ninja does the trick just as well. I can steam/bake/boil myself :) A FAVORITE for sure.

My FAVORITE thing about spring is finally being able to go outside and go on walks with my family.  Going for a walk has always been something that Nate & I love to do.  We always did it with Wiley, and now we love to take Coby & Benny. Benny is honestly a horrible walker! He does better now with his harness, but still isn't great.  So I haven't ventured out with both Benny & Coby by myself yet, just to avoid running over little Benny's toes.

One of my FAVORITE parts of Coby's age right now is his non-stop blabbering at times.  He doesn't always blabber, but when he decides to...he doesn't stop and it's the cutest thing. This video captures some of the blabbering cuteness :)

Nate was gone this past weekend for his brother's bachelor party. I am thankful everyday for such a hardworking, dedicated, sweet, helpful husband.  However, after even just a very short weekend of him being gone--it makes me appreciate his help that much more! I love you Nate, you're always a FAVORITE of mine : )

How could sweet Benny not make my FAVORITES this week too? He snuggled in bed with me all weekend while Nate was gone. He is definitely one of Coby's favorites too. This picture is when Benny was finally worn out from chasing this ball.  Coby and I sit down, I throw the ball {bounce it off the wall and it bounces like crazy all over the place}, and then Benny chases it....all while Coby laughs hysterically! They're obsessed with each other and I can't wait to see their bond continue as they grow older :)

Last but not least...my FAVORITE book right now is, "While They Are Sleeping", that I talked about HERE.  The winner of the book giveaway is:
