How did you meet DH/SO? In high school. We started going out on the second last day of grade 9.
Where are you from? Born near Vancouver, grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, now live in Southwestern Ontario.
What's your favorite thing about being a mom? Being able to sit back and look at DS and DH playing or cuddling, and realizing, "This is our family. We made this." Sometimes when I am in the moment taking care of DS or snuggling with him myself, I don't really pause to take it all in.
The cutest thing your LO does? His latest thing is panting. I joked that he was copying the dog (who he is beyond OBSESSED with), but we didn't really think he could "copy" yet. Then the last day or two each time she walks into the room he sticks his tongue out of his mouth and pants. Then he laughs at himself. He is apparently aware of how funny he is.
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? Baileys, Peach Bellinis, Riesling...girly drinks. Oooh, over the holidays I discovered Peppermint Mocha Kahlua (but I think it was only seasonal )
And your favorite sex position? Me on top.
Im in SW Ontario as well
Sunset+skies and I are both from London. I know she has shared that on here before (that's how I noticed!), so hopefully she doesn't mind me sharing.

I went to school at Fanshawe
Now I am about 40 minutes east of Toronto.
Small world. I am glad you came out of lurking...I love to see the Cdn girls on here. I smile if I read something like "colour," and then scroll back up to see if it says they are from Canada or if it's just a typo. (I often worry on other boards that people will think I can't spell... )
How did you meet DH/SO? He was my roommate's boyfriend's roommate.
Where are you from? I grew up in NH, but now live in MA.
What's your favorite thing about being a mom? I love going into their room every morning and seeing their faces just light up and their little legs start thumping because they are so happy to see me. I love them so much more than I ever thought it was possible.
The cutest thing your LO does? Abby has learned to kiss. I love it when she kisses me, but it is extra cute when she kisses Lil. She leaves a big wet spot in Lil's hair.
Lil loves her bouncer, and if you ask her is she can bounce, she will start bouncing and laughing like a madwoman.
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? I love really dark beers. My favorite is a local brewery's chocolate porter.
How did you meet DH/SO? Long story short, we met in college and he kind of stalked me trying to get me to go out with him. I had a boyfriend and no interest in him but said we could be friends. We became best friends and then a year later I realized I liked him and we've been together ever since.
Where are you from? Originally from Lansing, Michigan. Transplanted to the Omaha, Nebraska area 4 years ago, and planning (fingers crossed) to move back to Michigan sometime this year.
What's your favorite thing about being a mom? Teaching Ev new things, and getting to watch him learn and figure things out on his own. It is amazing to me to watch him develop into this little awesome person.
The cutest thing your LO does? I can't pick just one, so top three are: 1. His real something-is-hysterical laugh; 2. He's obsessed with sticking his tongue out and he'll seriously do it for hours; 3. He realized it gets a good reaction (and gets him out of eating) to start blowing a raspberry as soon as you put baby food in his mouth. Annoying to have to clean food off every surface, but adorable because he does it just for the reaction.
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? Sigh. I love long islands but they don't love me back. I'm pretty much banned from ordering them. My other favorite that I recently discovered is UV Cake with either coke or pineapple juice. So delicious.
And your favorite sex position? Is it wrong to say it's been so long I can't even remember? Haha. We're pretty traditional generally though.
I'll have to try the pineapple juice, I've only ever tried it with Diet Coke.
We met in college. He and my roommate were cousins and she introduced us.
Where are you from?
Currently living in Utah, hoping to move soon.
What's your favorite thing about being a mom?

The cutest thing your LO does?
I'm pretty sure she gave me a kiss this morning. I always kiss her cheeks and today she grabbed my face and planted a big ol' open-mouthed "kiss" on my cheek. She might have just been hungry, lol, but I like to think of it as a kiss.

I don't post very much so you probably don't know a lot about me so I will give it a go.

We met at my families golf course. He was playing golf- I was working! It turned out to be a fairy tale romance all summer.

All the fun things we encounter everyday... and of course how LO crawls around all day saying Mamamama. The laughs, the smiles, the giggles, and the late night breastfeeding sessions where it is just snuggle time for mommy and ella!

How did you meet DH/SO? short story: online (Cupid was the starting point). Long story: I was actually dating someone (on again off again for a few years, I refer to him as Houdini) and was scoping people out for a friend on cupid and had my profile reactivated. DH contacted me, I ignored. He found me through a friend's myspace and added me - turns out we went to the same college (as did the friend). One night original friend cited and I went up to Detroit as was our every other week habit to make our living on the blackjack tables, she was upset about a boy, it was quite late when she dropped me off and she was still upset, so I made her call me when she got home. To pass the time waiting for her, I was screwing around on myspace and invited DH to meet another friend and I out for drinks the next night. He showed up and the rest is history.

How did you meet DH/SO? We met while I was studying abroad in Cork, Ireland. He went to University of Limerick but was finishing up a semester-long internship in Cork when I first got there. It was a Tuesday night so I wasn't planning to go out, but I had dinner with my adviser and my friends were at a pub on the way home.

I thought it would be over after I went back to school since he was quite a bit older than me (14 years).... but it lasted 2 years as I finished school... he proposed 3 years later and look at us now!

All the fun things we encounter everyday... and of course how LO crawls around all day saying Mamamama. The laughs, the smiles, the giggles, and the late night breastfeeding sessions where it is just snuggle time for mommy and ella!

Right now - crawls after the cat and squels when she gets close enough almost to touch him and then he runs away and the whole process starts over again!

A glass of reisling

How did you meet DH/SO? We met while I was studying abroad in Cork, Ireland. He went to University of Limerick but was finishing up a semester-long internship in Cork when I first got there. It was a Tuesday night so I wasn't planning to go out, but I had dinner with my adviser and my friends were at a pub on the way home. They had been flirting back and forth with a table of Irish guys all night. The tables got together at the end of the night, somehow DH ended up with my number and here we are 8 years later

The cutest thing your LO does? He has this GIGANTIC smile that just melts my heart. He usually pulls it out when you're doing anything that jiggles him (this kid loves to be shaken up!) His mouth gets so wide and he kinda tilts his chin in. I don't think I'm describing it well, but trust me, its adorable!

The cutest thing your LO does? He "yells" at our dog. It is so hilarious. Our dog's name is Howie and I swear Preston tries to say his name when he sees him. He screeches and claps his hands and gets the biggest smile on his face. It is so cute!
What's your favorite alcoholic beverage? I love a good gin and tonic.
And your favorite sex position? Stradling him in a sitting position. I miss those days...sex still kinda hurts so we have been sticking with missionary.

The cutest thing your LO does?
Since this is the June board, I'll post about DD, on this one, and not DS (who's 3 1/2.) She "dances" when anything is music-like. Toys, the radio, the tv (when there's a background song... whether she's sitting up or on her belly, she starts swaying back and forth. She'll do it, too, if you say "Dance dance dance." It's freakin' adorable.

Spider Bite (Tarantula Azul tequila & Monster energy drink.) I love it so much, I have a tattoo with my little brother in it's honor. (I got him addicted to them.)
And your favorite sex position?
I'm into doggie-style... won't lie. It feels amazing. And it's easily adaptable to wherever you're doing the deed at. Plus... it's easy access for hair pulling and other fun things.
I don't have a siggy thing either and I'm super computer illiterate so I don't know how to post pics...maybe if there was an iphone app that idiot proofed it for me I'd be able to. Anyway...
How did you meet DH/SO? At training for our work, he sat behind me and I thought he was cute...he's from Puerto Rico so at first I had the hardest time understanding him with his accent but apparently he said for a while he'd been flirting with me...I just couldn't understand him.
Where are you from? El Paso, Texas born and raised

I'm a little late but I've been out of town on a family emergency. I'll feel a little better about occasionally posting if I at least attempt to let you amazing ladies know a little more about me:]
How did you meet DH/SO? We met at a high school graduation party. I knew he was a ladies man but I wanted to be his friend because he is so much fun. He has always been able to make me laugh so hard I cry. That's definitely my favorite thing about him.

What's your favorite thing about being a mom? Knowing that I have a purpose and hearing her laugh to let me know I'm doing a good job!
The cutest thing your LO does? Only one!? Hmm...I would have to say it's her "m mm mmm" noises. She does it right after she latches on and by the way she acts when I go to feed her, you'd think she's never eaten in her entire life. It always makes me giggle and smile.
