Maybe It's The Swaddle Itself

Same swaddle, different day ...

Like maybe the design on this swaddle is defective. It's certainly not because the arranger of the swaddle is incompetent. This particular swaddle incident looks like she is fashioning a scarf around her neck. And no, she's not in danger of strangling herself. I think she just wants to point out that this is not her favorite swaddle.

In other news, we made it to Dream More, Dolly's Dollywood hotel. We are here because it's Everley's 4th birthday, and she wanted to come here. So Maribeth and I loaded up her van with numerous baby items, loaded the 4 year old and two week old, loaded the breast pump and everything that goes along with it, and headed east. Once we arrived at the hotel, the bellman loaded up all the stuff and hauled it to our room. Steve arrived shortly after we did, so now we're ready for a fun weekend!!

Thankful today for: safe trip to Pigeon Forge; room ready when we arrived; nice bellman dude who helped us unload the car

No, No, No, No, No!!

Seriously? It's the end of March? Why am I getting slower while the months are flying by faster? Sure, I've had stuff to do and been busy, but I've also had a lot of other stuff that hasn't gotten done that was supposed to have been done by now (I believe I've been singing THAT song for years). Anyhoo, apparently today we're saying goodbye to March. Fine. Goodbye March of 2016. It's been a lot of fun.

Maybe I should go back to that list-making theory. Yeah, that really worked out well ...  Oh, and tomorrow's another day that I REALLY love (nope, not at all).

Thankful today for:  getting stuff packed for Dollywood (yup, going there again!)

Fun In The Sand

At least for Everley. After a heated debate on going to the park (or not), the trip was made. After the jungle gyms were climbed, Everley found the sand pit and dove right in - literally. At least the case was made for a bath tonight ...

Sure, it starts off with just sitting in the sand.
Sans shoes, of course.

Then for some reason, it becomes necessary to belly-flop.

Followed by sand angels ...

I have no idea where she gets it from ...

Thankful today for: Airport run for Lindley and Lynnette; playing in the park with Everley and Emmatha

Just Some Baby Stuff - Old and New

Doesn't she look smart??

Swaddle with a zipper.
Don't be fooled - she still manages to squeeze her hands
out the top and hang on.
I expect her to figure out how to unzip the zipper
by next week ...

Interesting page from my own baby book.
Apparently cows milk and veggies were
on the menu by 5 weeks ...
At least the cows milk was pasteurized ...

This one confused me. Pet Milk?
As in the one I use to make fudge?
That would explain a lot ...

Gifts I received when I was born.
The fun part was to see the moms of my Princess Bridesmaids on the list.
As I've said before - we go back a long way!!

Thankful today for: finding my baby book and unearthing lots of fun information; Everley and Emmatha time

Lazy Monday

Just in case you needed some affirmation for being lazy (and generally, truly lazy people need it not), here are some. But you will have to supply your own cape ...
