Another Weekend Comes to an End

Is tomorrow Monday already? Ugh. I am not looking forward to the early drive to Montgomery after such a good weekend. Friday night Lee and I attended the annual fundraiser for Sturdivant Hall. Sturdivant Hall is such a beautiful antebellum home and is where Honey and Paw-Paw got married. Every year they have a BBQ fundraiser and it was fun. I met alot of new people and the weather was great. A huge thanks to Paw-Paw for keeping Kylie Friday night so we could go!
Saturday Kylie and I hung out at the house and watched football while Lee worked at the camphouse. Later that evening, Miss Ashley came over to keep Kylie while Lee and I went to a surprise birthday party for Kaley at the St. James. We had a great time. We watched Alabama upset Georgia in the hotel bar and had a good time. Kylie had a great time with Miss Ashley. We are so excited about having Miss Ashley keep Kylie, she will also keep her on Mondays and Wednesdays so I can spend 2 full days in the Montgomery office.
Today we took a road trip to Luverne, Alabama for my great-grandmother's100th birthday party! Grandmama Taylor, my dad's grandmother is 100 years old. Tons of people came to the Methodist Church for the party. I met lots of older and distant relatives that I had never met before which was fun. We also had 5 generations there with my great-grandmother, my grandmother, my dad, me and Kylie. So that was pretty cool. We sent my Grandmama Taylor's info in to Willard Scott on the Today Show but I have not seen it yet. I hope she will get selected!

Tummy Time

We have been placing Kylie on her stomach so she can build some upper body strength. She is so close to rolling over, she kicks with her legs but can't quite push herself over yet. She gets so frustrated and will only stay on her stomach for a short period of time before yelling to be turned over. I dread doing tummy time everyday. Did anyone else's baby hate this activity?

Strollin'

As embarrassing as this is to admit, we just took our first stroll around the neighborhood yesterday. Until now it has either been too hot, too many bugs, or she was just too colicky in the afternoons and I didn't want her scare the neighbors with her screams :). So yesterday we were off, I got almost to the end of the street and I hear a yapping noise and a jingle sound...I turned around and see Dolly flying towards us. She got out of the backyard! YIKES! After a lot of yelling and bribing her with treats I managed to round her up and get her in the house. In the meantime, Porter decides it is his turn to escape so next thing I know I am chasing him through the neighbor's yard. Lee pulls in about that time and helps get Porter. Our stroll got cut a little short but maybe this afternoon we will make it a little further.

Flash Back

I have been cleaning up the pictures on my computer and decided to take a look back at our wedding pictures! We had so much fun at our wedding and hope everyone that was there did too. Whoever says a little rain can ruin your wedding day is lying!

Absolutely Adorable

Honey, Wen-Wen, and I have been doing lots of shopping these days. It is so fun! I didn't buy much ahead of time for Kylie because I was unsure of how big she would be and when she would wear what size. She is almost in a 3 month now, they are still big. But all of her 0-3 month clothes are almost too short in the stride. So we have been on a mission to get Miss Priss some new clothes for fall. I would say that we accomplished our mission by a long shot.


Thanks Honey and Wen-Wen for the precious clothes!!
I also ordered 2 adorable outfits through Betsy from Beaux et Belles for next summer. They are so precious, I can't wait to see them.

Our Weekend in Pictures

Friday night we went with Honey and PawPaw to the country club for dinner to have a late birthday celebration for Lee. It was lots of fun! I was nervous about taking Kylie into the dining room on a Friday night, but we went early and she did GREAT! Never made a peep! Here is a pic of Kylie and her Honey from Friday.

The rest of the weekend pretty much went like this:
Watched a lot of this

Only did a little bit of this

Mostly did this

It's Official

I'm back to work! I started back full-time this week. I am still working from our Montgomery office as well as home. The new schedule is: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday I am in Montgomery from 7:30-12 and the rest of the time I work from home. The reason for the new schedule is that Kylie's daycare at the Episcopal church is only open till 1 o'clock. She has now been in daycare for 2 weeks and it is going great! I love it! There are usually 3-4 babies and 2 ladies to care for them. They are so sweet and have been wonderful to us. We are still looking for a sitter for Kylie for a few afternoons a week. We have interviewed some people, but nothing has been a good fit so far. Hopefully we will find some help soon, so that I can be available in Montgomery a little more. The extra time in the office will be needed given the state of the economy right now. I will have to work extra hard in seeking money from lenders to continue doing deals.

This weekend we will be relaxing at home! I am looking forward to it and hopefully I can take some updated pictures of Kylie to post. She is looking more and more like Lee to me, but it is still hard to tell. She does look exactly like his baby pictures when she smiles though. The colic is much better now. Still a few episodes, but we can console her. Have I mentioned how much I love pacifiers????? I hate them at night when they fall out of her mouth, but I do not know what I would do if she wouldn't take one. Lee's mom and I were laughing at how she still moves her mouth like she is sucking when the paci falls out. It is cute, well until she realizes there is nothing there and then it is time for the earplugs! haha.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
