Boots: Target, Pants: Current/Elliot, Top: YesStyle, Hat: Urban Outfitters, Lipstick: NARS Heatwave
We've been doing a lot of reading lately {impressively sticking with new year's resolutions all the way through early January!}. Sometimes we'll read aloud to Everett, which doesn't get us very far considering we stop periodically to coo at him all gooey like and tell him the meaning of certain words. To which he responds with a binky wiggle and a hiccup. Code for "Wow. Your mouth looks huge from this angle".  Or sometimes we'll just read quietly to ourselves, which doesn't get us very far either considering both of us will indefinitely laugh at certain parts in our books, only to have the other say "what?". This followed by a sharing of the "funny" excerpt, usually met with an anti-climactic "oh" from the other. We have different senses of humor. {Read: my book is funnier than his.}
Either way, it's been nice. A bed doesn't get much cozier than when it has two books and a baby in it. And sometimes two very large bowls of cheerios.

That is the sweetest scene. I just love it. And I have those moments all the time when trying to relate something funny I'm reading. xo

Hello, Sidney! You are so beautiful! I've read all of your posts! I like them! I'm happy that you have a small honey! I've read that you tried to have him almost a year. That's why maybe I like your blog. Because now my husband and I try to have a small honey too)) But we haven't yet, unfortunately. I think in near future we will be happy too. I'd like to be beautiful mom, like you! ;)

Love to read...what are you reading? Little Everett is so cute.

Sal {Daniel and I} January 09, 2012 6:15 AM  

We've been reading more over the Christmas/New years break as well. It feels so so good to read a fiction book without guilt... Oh the hang ups of a PhD student...

Cute pants - I am loving coloured jeans at the moment! I've been lamenting on what kind to buy for a while now. I think I'm going to go with magenta. 'Cause I can't help but love pink.

I love reading so much. It's always nice to just turn all technology off for a little bit and just read. My boyfriend and I made the resolution to read more as well!

That hat is adorable! I wish I could pull off floppy hats.

Sounds like a marriage I want! Most women aren't thinking about that, but I can't wait to have lazy days like that with my future husband and baby!

I love the boots as well! Very cool and cute, I never find things like that target when i go.

Katie Blacker January 09, 2012 7:07 AM  

Yay for reading. I have been doing more of it myself. I am just finishing up the Hunger Games. what are you reading?

I'm curious what you are reading too :)

Liz January 09, 2012 7:39 AM  

I've been reading so much since we moved to Amsterdam. It's the best way to kill time on the train. And now I'm just addicted! I'm currently reading "From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" by the Pioneer Woman and it is absolutely hilarious and so cute. Definite mood lifter! I highly recommend it!

I applaud you for reading, I hope you keep it up throughout the year and not only January. I love reading but with all the reading I have to do for school, when I come home picking up a book is usually not my first choice. When vacations and summer come around there's nothing that can get between me and my book. Slightly envious as to how you spend your weekend :) Hope baby Everett is doing well. Have a great week!

Jessica @ Here(and)Now January 09, 2012 8:30 AM  

and... i want to crawl back under the covers and grab a book ASAP now! happy to hear you guys are still on the New Year's resolution wagon. So far so good for me too!
p.s. because you are a style blogger, i hope this isn't too personal, but how has your body changed since bring baby everett into the world? You still have a fabulous body, so it obviously hasn't been too dramatically changed, but you are the only one running around in it every day :)

Rachel January 09, 2012 8:30 AM  

Cute! Love cuddling up in bed to read books, and totally understand the funny/"what" reply, haha ;)

Jenny Cindy January 09, 2012 8:35 AM  

Lovely post - you look great! I love reading about your new life as a family, it sounds so warm and cozy and makes me want to start a family of my own haha. (Even tough that's not something I usually with for =P)

Tom January 09, 2012 8:50 AM  

Moments were you can't communicate something ridiculously funny. We've all fallen victim to it!

Kassie January 09, 2012 8:51 AM  

Goodness.
You look amazing. Can't believe you just had a baby that long ago.

A baby in a bed is great! Love taking naps with my little one!

jessica January 09, 2012 8:51 AM  

That so sweet. And I completely adore that hat!

heather January 09, 2012 8:58 AM  

i bought "heat wave" at sephora yesterday and thought of you. my hubs is a little skeptical, but my mother-in-law loves it. so, score?

I loved when my baby was still sleeping most of the time and we could have lounging parties on the bed- soak it up! But look forward to future cuddle sessions when he won't be sleeping but may climb all over you and give you hugs!

Ana January 09, 2012 10:42 AM

Cheerios and a book in bed sounds like a good idea right. Now if we could only get the baby part in there... 10 days is seeming like torture!

That's such a lovely thing to do. I was just reading a book where the leading lady wants to be with a guy where they both can sit next to each other and quietly read. I'd love that too! But sounds like you got that already with a cute baby and cheerios to hoot! Good on you!

You should let us know what you're reading and what you think about it! I love book reccomendations!

Gaby January 09, 2012 3:20 PM  

Ha, my husband and I totally do this with each other until I go "Aah, enough, just let me read!" :)

Liz Brown January 09, 2012 3:26 PM  

I eat cheerios when I read too! In fact, I totally just decided to go buy more cheerios, because I have none at the moment.

And isnt it such a letdown when the part that tickled you so much, strikes no one else the same way. Gawsh.

❝tiana of l'esthetique❞ January 09, 2012 4:34 PM  

Im in love with the blue pants! they really give this outfit something bold and fresh :) I also love how you put together a lot of really nice looks at a low price!

Chuckled out loud at your book reading dilemma (my husband and I did that through our whole honeymoon!) only to of course be asked, "what?" by him:) And then we both laughed:)

Reading. Marriage. Babies. And omgoodness good cereal. Amen.

Thanks for giving me an idea about how to wear one of those fabulous floppy hats, JEANS! And I have been reluctant to try the colored jean phenom, but I am now inspired to give it a go.

Katie January 10, 2012 4:46 AM  

loving those blue jeans, perfect to brighten up any winter!

to read more is one of my resolutions too - even if the book is heavy & i have to carry it around with me all day, haha! I remember passing around the book Around Ireland with a fridge, each member of my family delighting into their own periodical fit of giggles as they read it :)
