bumbo seat

Just chill'n in my bumbo seat.



I'm sooooooo glad it's Wednesday!! The past two weeks have been short weeks for me (Monday's off), so this week seems to be lasting for FOREVER!! Weeks always go by slower when you're REALLY looking forward to something fun over the weekend.

Laney and I are headed to b'ham on Friday to stay with Walker and Emily! Sissy's coming up too! With a little pit stop at the Chick-fil-a in Athens to see these two crazies (and their mommy, of course).



We are SOOOOOOO excited we can hardly stand it!


(hehe...I must have said something really funny!!)

i miss her.

I seriously sit at my desk and think about her all day long. I get to see her several times throughout the day, but I still miss getting to be with her at home all day.


(yes, she has started sucking her thumb...)

She's learning and growing so much everyday! Over the weekend she rolled over for the first time!!! I told her she needed to slow down! I caught it on video tape, but I've yet to figure out how to upload our videos on to our computer. The camera is pretty new (thanks to nana and grandpa judge) and catching her latest trick was the first time we've used it. Ha! As soon as I can figure the thing out I'll upload it, because I'm sure she's dying for you all to see her show off! :)

Daddy-buddy

He's the best.

Martin's

Last night we met up with Scott and Caitlin at Martin's BBQ Joint. They were recently featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, so of course we had to check it out!







Eric was SO excited he could hardly stand it!



Hubby had the ribs. They were YUM-O! And I had the beef brisket sandwich. Also, YUMO!



I'm not sure how much you can tell from this picture, but this place was SMOKE-Y. We left smelling like a pig fresh out of the smoker.



Laney-boo just chilled. Have I mentioned how great she is? Seriously.



Ok. Time to finally go wash the smoke stank out of my hair.

Labor Day.

Last weekend Sissy came up and spent some time with us. We had SO much fun! We spent some time in downtown Franklin.



(can we quickly talk about how cute my mom looks in this picture! and for the record she's on the market! If you know any Godly men in their 50s or 60s you might want to do them a favor and introduce them to my mom. :) -your welcome, mom. ha!)

Ok, back to the weekend. We had lunch at 55 South. If any of you saw the article in September's issue of Southern Living, they talked about this restaurant and two others that have the same owner in downtown Franklin. It was SOOOO good! We shared the fried green tomatoes with gulf shrimp remoulade and the NOLA BBQ shrimp over blue cheese grits. I wish I had taken a picture, but I don't think a picture would do justice to the deliciousness of these two items! YUM-MY!



Of course we had to hit up some sweet cece's. The one is dt Franklin is by FAR the cutest one. I wish I had taken some pictures of the inside (the women's bathroom has the CUTEST wallpaper!).



We did LOTS of shopping. We both ended up buying this from anthro. It's really adorable and super comfy! I got the purple and mom got the brown.



And we can't forget about this little bit.



She spent all 7 hours shopping with us, like a little trooper. She's awesome. Have I mentioned that before?

Mom brought her a little surprise. A pumpkin hat! Isn't it hilarious!? Our little pumpkin head!



Ok that's all for now. Happy Friday night. Eric and I are about to watch "Date Night" on our date night! :)

TGIF!

This has been my first week back at work. I would have blogged about it sooner, but I don't know if I could have even written about it because I was so upset. Yeah, I basically sobbed myself to sleep Monday night. But, Tuesday came and we made it and I was ok. I'm really lucky that she's in the day care at the church I where I work. I go visit her a few times a day, and I'm nursing so I get to go get her at 10am, 1pm and 4pm for her feedings, which is really nice! Also, I've never been so happy to have 1/2 day Fridays! WOO HOO! It's really worked nice with Eric's school schedule that most days Laney stays home with him and he brings her up there at 10.



I'm a little late on Laney's two month post, considering she'll be 11 weeks on Monday, but here are her stats...
weight: 10.10 lbs (50th%)
height: 23 in (35%)
She's seriously the best baby. We're SUPER spoiled. I know all our kids won't be this easy. Her sleeping schedule has been AWESOME! At about 5 weeks she started sleeping from 10pm until 5am. Now she sleeps until about 7. She actually slept until 8am one morning before I started back to work. Thank you, Laney! I can tell now that she's wanting to go to bed sooner than 10, but I told Eric the other night, I'm going to be really sad when she starts sleeping 12 hours a night. He looked at me like I was crazy! But, I'm sure you working moms understand, we only get to see our babies awake for a couple hours a day!



Don't be jealous. You know you all wish your hair looked like that.



She doesn't love tummy time, but she will tolerate it.

In other news, after taking a little 3 month break, I'm sewing again. I've started a few projects (the bag below) and a couple of winter time outfits for laney.



I don't have an embroidery machine yet (maybe one day, eric says), but this will get monogrammed in the hot pink color of the ric rac and I'm still working on the ruffle pants to match.

Also, Sissy is coming up this weekend!! We can't wait to see her tomorrow! She's at my sister's right now and she's meeting me in downtown Franklin tomorrow to stay until Monday! Yay!

O-H

I-O.


A few weeks ago we made the 6 hour trek to Ohio for Eric's sister, Katie's, wedding.



She was a beautiful bride!



We got to spend time with Laney's cousin, Elise...



We went to the park with Nana.



We had a really great weekend! It was Laney's first trip to Ohio, so she got to meets a lot of Eric's family. We can't wait to go back for another visit in November!
