You GUYS. Look at my little chunky monkey!!! This is my nephew and he was born yesterday morning. Nine pounds, one ounce. 21 inches long. I haven’t even met him yet but I love him sooooo much! Those CHEEKS, people!
My sister and her husband are so thrilled to finally welcome their miracle baby into the world. Heather was diagnosed with PCOS almost 10 years ago and she was told by several doctors that she probably wouldn’t be able to conceive. But Jonah is here and he’s healthy and he’s beautiful!
I’m going out to Denver next week to spend some time with them. Can’t wait to hold that precious little guy!

P.S. Speaking of babies, I am dying over these Naptime Adventures. So cute!!!
Well, today was the first official day of summer. Hooray! But you wanna know what’s really sad? We still haven’t been to the beach this year. We walked up and down Santa Monica pier yesterday, but that doesn’t really count. I want a full-fledged beach day, with sand in my toes yummy snacks and a good book.
We’re going out to Catalina this weekend so I can finish up my scuba certification. I’m pretty excited! I spent all day Saturday scuba diving in a swimming pool, which felt kind of silly and weird but it was so fun! Breathing under water is really cool.
Hope you’re all making fun plans to get out and enjoy the lovely summer weather!

So, ummm… yeah. I’m a terrible terrible blogger when I’m on vacation. Sorry about that.
Anyways, hello from the Mile High City! I’m here visiting the fam. Been here since Sunday and I’ve mostly been helping my sister get baby Jonah’s nursery ready (pictures coming… once Curt gets here with the Nikon). It’s been kind of insane and it will probably get even crazier when more people come into town on Friday and Saturday. Curt’s been keeping GBM afloat (quite nicely, I must say) but I guess I gotta be a little bit responsible and, you know, post something.
So, Bear Fashion it is! Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half (which is hilarious; add it to your Reader NOW) has a weekly guest post over on The Gloss and this week’s musings were dedicated to helping grizzly bears avoid a visit from the fashion police. Bears who’ve packed on the pounds can benefit from opting for vertical stripes and avoiding thick fabrics like wool. Oh and “pale sage is a great color because it is complemented by the rich cranberry of salmon blood.” I don’t think I could have said it any better myself.
You can read the whole guest post here, and make sure you pay a visit to Hyperbole and a Half, too! Just read about the Sneaky Hate Spiral and you’ll be hooked. Thank you (again) to Corrie for sharing. She really gets our style. Like we were related or something.

Awesome cake pic from the infamous Cake Wrecks
Team Grizzly is hitting the road for a couple days… off to the desert to have a party in remembrance of Vada Mae. Not sure if we’ll manage to get any posts up while we’re out there but we guarantee there will be plenty of pictures to share upon our return.
Happy Weekend!
love,
Curt and Jess
Curt’s not feeling too well, and I don’t wanna get whatever he’s got, so we’re gonna call it a night and get some rest. But Volume 6 of our GBM Mixtapes series is cookin’ and it should be ready for you to devour sometime tomorrow.
Happy Friday!

Dear Bloggers with Absurdly Adorable Puppies,
Please just stop. This is torture. Especially when you also happen to have really rad fashion sense.
Sincerely,
Jessica

We can’t handle the pain anymore. We’ve been taking walks around our neighborhood every evening before dinner, and every time we get ready to walk out the door, we’re both thinking, “You know what would make this walk even better? A dog.” I think it was Napoleon that made us decide to get really serious about this possibility.
Just one problem. Our wonderful landlords just aren’t too keen on the idea of a dog tumbling around on the hardwood floors of our second-story apartment. And we LOVE our place so we’re not planning to move any time soon.
BUT. We think we might be able to convince them. They love us. And we can be pretty persuasive. They’re OK with cats, so we figure if we can find a small, quiet, well-behaved dog we just might be able to make this work! Can’t be too hard, right? Right?!
Now, I’m admittedly more of a big dog person, but I think I might be willing to convert for any one of those adorable pups above. So what do you guys think? Frenchie, Basset, or Pug? (We love Corgis too but they have sonic barks. And I couldn’t not include that picture of Teddy. Adorable.)

to my best friend and the only person I could stand to share a blog with.
I love you.

I’m not feeling too great, so I’m drinking lots of OJ and getting lots of rest. I’m sure Curt can keep y’all entertained for the next day or two while I recuperate.

P.S. Are there ice cubes in that orange juice? Who does that?
