Hello Summer!!! We are so glad that we are out for the summer! (Although I have to go back for a workshop for two weeks starting Monday-boo hiss!) We have a lot on our agenda for this summer! It started this past weekend with a trip down to see the grandparents for Memorial Day. Although it was rainy, we were able to have our first experience in a baby pool! She had the best time!
Here are some pics:


For the rest of the summer we plan to be lazy, go on a few trips here and there and continue going to daycare a few days a week in order to keep up the routine (and give mommy a little time to clean, etc). Mommy is also going to start taking sewing classes so that she can learn how to make outfits for me!!

Catch up

Sorry that it has been a few weeks since our last post. We have been quite busy these days and someone has also become a little more demanding (screaming right now as I type this, just wanting to be held AGAIN).
Last weekend we went to visit the inlaws and also took our first trip to the aquarium. Here are some pics:

I rode a carousel for the first time:

I spent some time with my boyfriend at the park:

We saw some fish:


I also had a fabulous first Mother's Day!! The mister bought me a sewing machine so that I can start sewing clothes for LL (I also have an embroidery/monogram machine that I will be learning to finally use as well). He made me yummy waffles topped w/ ice cream and strawberries and we had lunch at a place that we used to frequent all of the time before we were married. We also took our first family trip to the zoo. Even though it rained part of the time, it was a perfect day to go w/ few crowds and cool weather....which means the animals were out and being social!
Here are some pics:






And lastly, here is our 7 mth pic...I know that I am a week late, but between going out of town last weekend, having a crazy busy week at work, and LL having yet another ear infection it didn't happen to be the first thing on my mind...good thing she hasnt grown too much in a week and she is still 7 mths! (And yes, mommy finally put a bow in my hair, although it doesnt stay since I still dont have much and it's baby fine!

AWESOME

We had the most awesome photographer take our pics right before I had LL.
You should really go check her out...

Not spoiled, BLESSED!!

Whew!! Take a look at all of the Easter loot. We are SO fortunate to have wonderful grandparents, a great and thoughtful boyfriend, as well as the BEST secret pal ever!! I can not BELIEVE what all LL has received for this very special holiday. It makes me a little worried as to what our 1st bday will bring....:)



Here are a few pics of her in her precious little Easter dress:

Whew! What a weekend!

Our weekend started off a little early due to the daycare calling us Thursday saying that she had been EXTREMELY fussy. The mister picked her up and spent a few hours at home with her.
Friday, the mister spent the day with her since both were off from Good Friday. That afternoon, I took her to the doctor for her 6month checkup. She received 4 shots and an oral vaccine, but she was such a big girl! She is now over 16lbs and we started carrots that night (in the Easter spirit)! She didn't go for them at first, but since then, she has decided that she loves them!
Saturday, the two of us took a mini roadtrip for my best friend's daughter's 1st birthday at the lake. Mommy was even able to go for a nice little boat ride while LL stayed with the men.
Sunday, we woke up and discovered that the Easter Bunny had made a stop by our house! LL was SO excited to see what he brought her. She was even dressed in her precious Easter pjs (although we didn't get any pics b/c she had a little leak before we could get the camera). We then got ready and went to church. It was SUCH a wonderful sermon! It reminded us what Easter is truly all about! LL did well in the nursery too! The grandparents came down to spend the day with us and we had a great visit/lunch.
Monday, I was off and so we stayed at home and relaxed for a little while, went to work w/ mommy for a few minutes to get some paperwork done, had lunch w/ boyfriend and his mommy, and then had a little playdate while mommy did some sewing!

Happy 6th Month Bday!!

I can't believe that LL has been a part of our family for 6 months now! Time really does fly!! Slow down baby, you are growing up too fast!

So proud

Although I received an embroidery machine 3 Christmases ago, I have yet to learn how to do it.
Although I promised myself that I would learn how to sew before having a baby, I have yet to learn how to do it.
Although I promised myself that I would also learn how to smock, I have yet to learn how to do it.
But, I DID make her a hand-sewn applique shirt tonight w/ her future Mother-In-Law, and I am SO proud!
