Weekend Rewind

Happy Monday everyone! I guess it's not technically "happy" for most, but as you know today is our FRIDAY! If you're visiting from Tami's blog then welcome! Our actual "weekend" isn't until Tuesday/Wednesday. My husband is in law enforcement and has odd hours/days off. We make the most of it and still try to have fun on the true weekend! Here's our weekend rewind!

Link up with us {HERE} and tell us about YOUR weekend!

Saturday I did a bunch of cleaning, since I already blogged about it I won't repeat myself!

Saturday we also did our grocery shopping. We went to Costco and wal-mart...it wore Miss Emma Claire O-U-T!

LOVE Costco...HATE putting everything away and finding space for it all!

I made and froze a bunch of baby food for the first time! Until now I would just prepare it fresh right before dinnertime. I made a huge batch of apple baby food and I have a large bag of pears that I'm waiting to ripen and then I'm going to make those too! I love the ice cube trays I bought because they are all one ounce cubes! SO now I have a huge freezer bag full of one ounce cubes of apple baby food. Perfect to eat alone or combine with other foods!

In case you can't tell I also joined Instagram this weekend! haha! I don't know why it took me SO LONG to jump on the bandwagon but so far I love it! Follow me: MallorieGayle

We aren't moving yet...BUT that doesn't mean I can't start packing. We know we are moving at some point this summer so I figured I could start packing things we don't need now! Moving with a 7, 8, or 9 month old will be challenging enough I don't need to make packing any harder! I hope to have lots done by the time we actually get our house and make the big move. 

Yesterday was a beautiful day outside.

Everyone at my house likes to look out the window. And I cannot get over that sweet little baby hand just resting on Gracie's furry rear. So sweet. 

Since the weather was so nice we ventured out and took a walk. It was Emma Claire's first time to ride up front like a "big girl". She was NOT a fan. After we played and had our photo-shoot she was NOT happy and wanted nothing to do with the front of the stroller. I ended up carrying her half-way home.

Don't be fooled by her happy face here...this is a false representation of how the actual walk was! ha!

The product of our little photo-shoot yesterday. I cannot believe she is just ONE day away from being SIX months old! Seriously?! Wasn't I just pregnant yesterday??

We tried some shots of her sitting in the grass and she HATED it. If y'all read Lyndsey's blog then you know that I immediately thought of her and Liam when I was taking these! ha! Our babies do NOT like the grass!

Last night we had another first at our house. Emma Claire finally rolled onto her tummy and fell asleep. I was a nervous wreck and even went in a few times to move her head when she was sleeping on her face. I was never that mom who checked on her baby a million times at night..until last night. I could not go to sleep and went in her room three times to check on her! I didn't have to worry too much, she was up at 3am and was not happy! So much for tummy sleeping=better night sleep!

How was your weekend? Link up with Tami at Little Moments Like This and let us know!

Angie said...

I just joined Instagram too. Now I gotta figure out how to use it!

I'm SO glad you are on instagram now!!!

Courtney @ One Fine Wire said...

She's growing up so fast! She'll probably like the tummy sleeping more and more.

jessica said...

okay seriously your baby girl is gonna have such gorgeous head of hair i can already tell.
and that picture of her with the dog is absolutely precious!

i'm following you on instagram now! my name is: j___jenkins (three underscores)

I can't believe she doesn't like riding up front!!!! Callyn's been riding up there since 3 months and L.O.V.E.S. it! I don't think she would have anything to do with the other way any more :) Too funny!
Looks like you guys had a great weekend! :)

Joeylee said...

sounds like you had a good weekend. That 3rd picture from the bottom is absolutely adorable!! Moving with a baby any age is challenging, we have to be moved out of our house at the end of May and we will be having grandma watch the girls!

Tami said...

Although we're not in the exact same boat I do kind of know what you mean- our weekends are Thurs-Sat so I always kind of include those days and Sundays in my weekend recap. So confusing! :) I am seriously dying over the picture of EC and Gracie. Way too cute for words! Emerson loves dogs so I can't wait to get her together with our dogs this summer. Thanks so much for linking up girl!

Lyndsey said...

I think it's hilarious she hated the grass like Liam! But I can't believe she hated riding up front! Maybe she was freaked out bc she couldn't see her mama :)

Happy almost half birthday EC!

Kristen said...

I don't think I've said this before, but I love her bows!!

Beth Ann said...

Oh no! I can't believe she didn't like riding in the big part of the stroller! Wonder what she didn't like about it!? She does look like such a big girl sitting in it! Very sweet pictures. I'll look you up on instagram. I'm bethann1124 :)

Kate @ Daffodils said...

What sweet pics! My youngest has been a tummy sleeper since the beginning, isn't it funny how they do these things just to freak us out?? Hope you enjoy your 'weekend' tomorrow!

Do you have a new house yet? Smart to get a head start on the packing. I don't think it's ever easy, but especially with a baby. ;(

Awesome idea about the baby food. I was never that smart. Haha.

I did notice the "instagramness" of your pics. ;)

G loves playing outside, but only on the blanket. He likes to touch the grass from the safety of the blanket, but put his feet or butt on it? Cue waterworks!

Boo packing. We're getting ready to do this.
