We had such a fun and busy weekend, and I can’t believe it’s already Monday! Since our weekend was filled with so much snuggle time with the nugget, most of my photos are of her!

 

I was so excited to pick her up on Friday night and spend the evening just hanging out. She is finding her voice and loves to “talk” and squeal.

On Saturday, we just hung out at home until the early afternoon. We drove to Leominster for Keith’s grandmother’s 75th birthday party. It was a beautiful day, and a chance to dress her in a cute outfit and let everyone fawn all over her. Of course, she peed through this outfit within 20 minutes of arriving! Note to self: wait until you arrive at your destination to dress her



How adorable is she in her seahorse one-piece and matching headband?



Hanging with her Pops!



Sunday, we got up and went to the noon mass. She loved church! All the music, the lights and the colors coming in through the stained glass windows … she just sat there and took it all in!

Sunday afternoon was spent cleaning, picking up the house, grocery shopping and doing meal prep for this week. I’m working on getting a better system going so that my days aren’t quite as hectic!

 

Sunday night we went out to dinner. This was our first time attempting to venture out for a dinner that didn’t involve rushing. We went to my the restaurant that my sister works at, and got yummy Mexican food! Gracie did amazing, she again just hung out staring at the lights and the noise. She got fussy towards the end when it got to be close to her bedtime.



Deliciousness



Thinking very hard



She already loves our phones



This face <3

We got home and put her to bed and got ready for another hectic week. My sister is watching her Monday and Tuesday so she stayed over last night. We love our Auntie time!

 

She was up five times last night (this seems to be her new “thing”), so starting Monday night, we are ditching the swaddle and putting her in her crib. This mama does NOT function well on hour blocks of sleep, and I’m struggling to get through the day. Now that she has passed 12 pounds, she should be able to eat more and sleep for longer stretches. Wish us luck!
