Tuesday Talk

Can I just start out by saying how much I love having Monday’s off!!! I’m officially dubbing them #mamagracieday

We started our day with an ear check at her pediatrician (clean bill of health and perfect ears – yes!) and then a visit to her chiropractor for her weekly adjustment. I truly credit her adjustments with what has cured her ear infections.

I meal prepped for the week, made Gracie “yogurt melts” (thank you Pinterest!), cleaned and did laundry.

We picked up some Annie Sloane Chalk Paint in “Duck Egg Blue” for the new buffet I bought on Sunday! I love home DIY projects, and know this one will be a fun one :)

We then stopped by our neighbor’s house and spent a couple hours – us moms got to chat and the babes played. I love that our two babies will grow up together and go to school together.

Our weekend was filled with lots of family and play time. Play group with the class of 2032; lunch with the inlaws and Gracie’s Easter photos!

I am now completely exhausted and crossing my crossables that Gracie sleeps allllll night.

All Kinds of Things

Happy Tuesday friends!!

Yay Friday!

This week has been a long one. The time change has totally thrown us and our schedules have been feeling way off. But here’s to Friday and a fun weekend ahead!

1. Even though we are settled in our house (for now), every now and then I like to look at houses on www.trulia.com and daydream. Last night I found this beauty … and at $899,900 it is most definitely a dream!

Isn’t she pretty?

2. I am in desperate need of something (art, photos, anything) to hang on one empty wall in our new living room. Where do you get artwork? I would love something one-of-a-kind, but without the price tag :) Would love to hear your suggestions!

3. Yesterday Keith’s promotion to Senior Product Manager was announced to his team! We had known for about a month that it was in the works, but it being made official was the best news! Keith works his butt off and kicks ass every day. He’s such a hard worker, and is so driven and dedicated. I’m immensely proud of him :) I can’t wait to go to dinner tonight to celebrate!

4. I’m debating on what to get Gracie for her first birthday! I was thinking a Pottery Barn Anywhere Chair or maybe something for the yard for summer – a playset or water table? Mamas with babies – any ideas??

5. The snow is finally starting to melt, the days are getting longer and I wore flats and NO coat for the first time in 2015! Even Gracie is loving the new weather – she spends all her time in front of our door :)

Grace {Ten Months}

IMG_1137.JPG

This little girl is a bullet. You should see her fly across the room – she is determined and focused and does it all with the cutest little smirk on her face! This month she started pulling herself up to a standing position, and is learning to balance herself – I think she will be taking her first steps in the next month!

This was the month she cut her second tooth, starting sleeping through the night (yay!) and started eating real table food. She started having “stranger danger” and gets extremely shy around new people. She is a total mama’s girl, and loves to snuggle. She lets me know when she is ready for a nap by crawling over to my feet, and pulling on my legs. Once I pick her up, she snuggles her face in my shoulder until I bring her to her room. She is a pro at putting herself to sleep, and is a girl obsessed with her pacifier.

I know that these days are fleeting and one day soon, she won’t want to be held and snuggled anymore. So even if it means being late for work, I cherish those snuggle moments with her.

“I got snacks, you got snacks?”

She has the cutest facial expressions and lets you know with such a fierce look, if she does not like something you are saying!

She weighs 19 pounds, and is wearing mostly 12-18 month clothing (she’s a long string bean!). Her favorite foods are yogurt, watermelon, grilled cheese, peas, green beans, pancakes, eggs – this girl will eat anything we put in front of her!  She says “Mama, Dada, Hi & Up”. She is almost blowing kisses – right now she just smacks her lips at you – cutest thing ever. Her favorite things are Gunner, anything with strings/zippers, taking baths, and her binkie. She has figured out how to turn her toys on, and as soon as they start playing music she bounces up and down and claps her hands.

Words cannot express the fierce love I have for this little girl. She is our whole world. Happy Ten Months sweet baby girl! We love you to the moon and back :)
