Hooray for 4 day weekends! I feel so refreshed! Our little family had quite the time. Josh and I headed to Evin’s Mill Friday night after shopping and dropping Eli off at his grandparents. It was amazing. Seriously, it was super cute, the food was de-licious, the hike was gorgeous, and Josh and I had tons of quality time together. I almost forgot how funny he is. For the record I did not believe a racecar driver was, at one point, president (a-hem).
Saturday was filled with more shopping, our first movie in an actual theater since December last year, and the first PSL of the season. We saw If I Stay, and although there was lots of sniffling going on, it was good. Josh even begrudgingly admitted that he liked it.
Today I started working on expanding my portfolio so the people at the silent auction know what they’re getting with their bid. My friend volunteered her sister and her family, which was perfect on so many levels. Their family is a-d-o-r-e-a-b-l-e, and it allowed me to try something new, with a range of ages, in a situation where the subjects were semi-strangers. Let me tell you, toddlers are harder than I thought! Davide was so cute, but he was more interested in running around than looking into the camera, which I can totally understand. I had a lot of cute pictures but these are some of my favorites that aren’t on facebook.
There’s so many more that I love! I've got one more little girl on the line-up and then I think I'm ready. Now for this week’s check in…
What we bought: So many clothes. So many. Usually I shop and I come home with bags and bags for myself, now I come home with more bags for him than anything. We bought him a Janie & Jack sweater, a long sleeve GAP shirt and pants, Gymboree shorts and tee, and a Carter’s warm long-sleeve footie cover up for when we go to Wyoming for Christmas.
Useless purchases: Fake baby keys. The daycare staff said he liked them, but not so much (not even when they are cold). Hey, at least he’ll eat strawberry bit oatmeal now.
Best moment: Coming back home to our baby! I missed him so much.
How my life has changed: My hips still randomly hurt. I finally started having milk again with apparently no problems to Eli’s little tummy.
Eli: Week 32
This week I tried to roll onto my belly while dad was changing me. It was hilarious and I proved it by giggling the whole time. I had my first full sleep over with my Mimi and Sabba. We had so much fun (except when they tried to take me for a car ride, blah). I got myself a piece of sugar snap pea and it was so delicious! I was MAD when dad took it away after I managed to pop out a pea with my teeth. My parents are too protective. All I get to eat is mashed food and puffers. Well, and Cheerios- but I don't like those so that doesn't count. My favorite books right now are Dr. Seuss's ABC book and my baby Bible.
Have a great week! Hey, at least it’s short.
