Craig celebrated his 30th birthday yesterday!
He said he’s felt 30 for a while now, so I don’t think he had too much of a hard time adjusting to this new decade–unlike myself.
We slept in, which we often do these days as Cullen is my night owl–staying up until midnight or 1:00 a.m. eating. In the morning, Craig watched The Walking Dead while I took care of Cullen and got myself ready.
In the afternoon we went to Steam Dot Coffee for a coffee date. Usually we go to Kaladi Brothers Coffee, but I suggested changing things up.
We made a stop at Target for some baby lotion (Cullen’s skin has been so dry!) and then stopped by to see some of my coworkers at work.
The night his birthday, I told Craig we had dinner reservations at Ginger. (Secretly the real reason was that I had invited several of our friends to surprise him and welcome him to this new decade.) Immediately he was not so sure about taking a newborn out-to-eat at a nice restaurant. (“Oh great!” I thought, “Now how am I going to convince him to go out for dinner!”) Luckily his dad convinced him it was a good idea to go, and everything worked out in the end.
We had a nice dinner with our friends and family, and Cullen slept nearly the entire time!
Our family of three!
Try coconut oil! My niece had really, really dry skin and baby acne. My brother and his wife used it and it cleared up so fast and her skin started to get moisture into it.
I think this is the brand they used and here is a blog that did a review.

Someone else suggested olive oil, and Craig suggested coconut oil. I might have to give it a try because I’m not convinced the lotion is working.
how fun to celebrate a big birthday with your new baby! 🙂 my husband, his brother, and their dad all have birthdays near each other which is fun. love that you guys are able to get out & about. hopefully that will mean that cullen will be a great traveler!
You guys are in such a new chapter of your life. It’s amazing that you are able to be up and walking around so much! I would be exhausted. Glad to hear you are recovering well.
