Poop-versations

This is my "faster-than-a-speeding-shutter-on-a-camera" Blakey....
While Alani and Jordan are away at school for the day...it's just baby and my Blakey...and I love all the conversations we have all day long....
He melts my heart with almost every sentence that comes out of his mouth....
My favorite yesterday, was when he asked me to come talk to him while he "pooped"...
to which I said, ofcourse...
I change diapers filled with poop what's a little talking in the bathroom while someone poops!? ha ha
(this is only cute when they are little, by the way! ha ha ha)

So as I sat in the bathroom, and said "well, what should we talk about?"...Blakey started to ask what my favorite toy was, when I was a baby:
to which I replied, my little squeaky rabbit toy.
Then I asked him, "what's your.....favorite color?!?"....
to which he replied:
"OH! That's a good question!?! It's turquoise!"
ME: "ME TOO BLAKEY! We both love Turquoise!"

Our conversation continued until he was done doing his business...and we both learned some "new favorites" that each of us have....

One day when he is grown up, I will miss little moments like this...even if they do take place while "sitting on his little throne".

Cherish every moment. Every smile. Every conversation. Try to never say, "I'm too busy"....because we should never be too busy for what a little heart wants to share with us!

huge hugs and extra smiles today...

and yes, I have new video to upload for the THE KANDEE JOHNSON SHOW CHANNEL on Youtube...but since I am typing this from Starbucks...while my mom is playing with the Blakey and the baby...I can't sit here while it uploads for 2 hours...

hoping they fix the downed internet near my house ASAP!...

peace out Starbucks, kandee

Baby Goes Native: Mini Moccasins

We heart these with a capitol "H"!

We know designers have been so inspired by "native" anything, the last few seasons-

and their "native" inspiration is timeless- these would have looked cute in the 50's to the 70's to a modern little baby in Soho or a "farm baby", ready to cruise around the ranch house!

WHERE WE GOT THEM:

At Whole Foods, in their baby aisle. But you can see even more and order them at:

www.bobuxusa.com

They are the most delicious chocolate brown...and have worn them with everything from red and white stripes to a pink floral outfit!

REASONS WE LOVE:

*They go on super easy and fast.

*They don't come off like most every pair of shoes or boots she has.

*They don't leave marks on her ankles or feet.

*They invented the ankle elastic system for these kinds of slip-on baby shoes!

*They are adorable!

*All my babies have learned to walk better in these kinds of shoes.

*They are accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association.

*They are hand made in New Zealand, by moms in their homes. Bobux gives them sewing machines, so they can stay at home with their kids while earning a living! (I love that!)

*They don't use dangerous dyes either!

I just wish they made them in my size!

comfy shoes and mini mocs, your Kandee and Mocc-a-cupcake

Fashion Week Baby Toting

 As we all know...I am not at NY Fashion Week, this week- due to me not feeling so great.
But last September, these were some pictures of me and my favorite little bundle of love to carry around, lil' Elyse.

and what I loved seeing this year...was Posh and David Beckham, carrying their little baby, Harper Seven everywhere. I love when you see celebrity moms and dads who actually carry their babies with them everywhere. Seeing them going out to eat and actually taking their babies with them instead of leaving them at home with a team of nannies.

I respect the parents that you can see, love being parents and love being with their babies, celebrities or not.

Every moment is made better when you get to have your little one in your arms...they are only little for such a short time and the only place they want to be is in your arms. I want to treasure every moment...because before you know it they will be big and you won't be able to hold them, or they won't want you to....anymore.

huge hugs, your kandee

Hooray for celeb parents that truly love being parents

My Little Love

 Nothing says Valentine's Day like wearing hearts...and sitting next to a giant heart pillow.....
on a hot pink couch!
We had to take a picture.

(outfit: courtesy of my sister- I have no idea where she bought this adorable outfit, but it's from Mud Pie.)

Then we like to just kick our "heart leg".

 And it makes us laugh.

Little Tiny (AKA Elyse), doesn't need a valentine, roses, or even chocolates to make her happy on Valentine's Day!

hugs and heart legs from me and cupcake, your kandee

"Hat-a-boo" and the best breakfast I've ever had...

 This is how we have fun in restaurants......we play peek a boo with my hat or "hat-a-boo" is a better name for it.....(ha ha ha it looks like my nails match her dress...see we do match some times!)

if you missed my post from yesterday....

her entire outfit is from Tar-jay-jay (AKA Target)...polka dot pink cardigan, floral summer dress, grey striped leggings.....

And I'm wearing a white men's hanes t-shirt, my leopard print scarf from Forever 21, and some black pants from American Apparel.

 

Me and my mom were laughing so hard...

 Best Breakfast: It was like French Toast Bread Pudding with real maple syrup....so good, I wish I could have it for breakfast everyday....Oh the Brazilian Butt Lift workouts I'm gonna have to do to burn this off. It was worth every bite!

My hats off (pun totally intended) to the chef of this amazing breakfast.....

yummy breakfast and "hat-a-boo" laughter all day, your kandee

Sleeping like a baby....

sometimes I just want to sit and take in all the beauty and preciousness of my sleeping lil one...
I know she will be getting so big and I just really want to stare at her and enjoy every moment of being able to look at her precious little baby face, so peacefully sleeping. It's like looking at a sunset, that makes you not want to take your eyes off of it, because you know it will be changing every second!

I will write more about our day...but right now I'm so tired and I want to be sleeping like a baby too!

PS. Her whole outfit is from Target...polka dot cardigan sweater, her little dress, striped leggings, even her socks....but her shoes are from Stride Rite.

off to look more sleepy like this....your kandee (typed last night and was too tired to remember to hit "publish") ha ha ha

Urban Outfitters & Crepes

 Some babies love wearing hats, headbands or bows....but not my lil' lady! She did like wearing this hat for about 3 seconds...which is the exact time it took to take these 2 pictures...kudos to  my mom pn her speedy-iphone-ography, picture taking skills!

 It turns out, Urban Outfitters has fun hats....and fun, neon rubberband balls! ha ha ha ha

And post-hat-trying-on, we had to go get a butter and sugar crepe.....mmmmmmmmmm Look at her little hand going to grab the crepe...she is also fond of sticking her hand in drinking glasses...which she also did to my water glass at dinner! ha ha ha
That's what I call a good night.......

hats off to you and hugs for your heart, kandee
