Weekend Wrap Up

On Friday morning Amelia and I had some fun reading books!

The first book she grabbed is her absolute favorite – The Going To Bed Book by Sandra Boyton. We read that book morning, noon and night!

She is finally big enough to wear this fun outfit from Grandma G – she just isn’t too sure about the hood!

Shelby has a lot of fun playing with Amelia – she’s always trying to share her toys!

Amelia is getting to the point where she LOVES giving big, sloppy, wet open-mouthed kisses – I love it!!!

I gave Amelia a raw carrot stick to chew on while I was making supper. She is working on some teeth, and I’m sure it felt good to chew on that hard carrot!

Amelia has a fun game that she plays in the kitchen . . . throw-all-of-the-letter-and-number-magnets-on-the-floor! We have them on the refrigerator and the dishwasher, and within a few minutes she can have 90% of them on the ground. She then takes one and crawls around the house with it – it’s a mess to clean up, but she has so much fun doing it!

By the time Mark and I went to bed on Friday night we had 1.5 inches of snow, and when we woke up on Saturday we had almost 5 inches! Saturday was my 26th birthday, and Mark made breakfast for all of us. Amelia ate applesauce and scrambled eggs with cheese, and while she was taking her morning nap Mark and I ate eggs and maple sausage – yum!

Later in the morning we headed out to the front porch to look at the snow.

The snow was very icy and crunchy, so we just stayed on the porch. We had fun watching Daddy throw snowballs at Shelby! Later in the afternoon I made Snow Ice Cream – it had a good taste but I think our snow was too icy. I’m going to keep the recipe so I can make it with Amelia when she’s a bit older – I’m sure she’ll love it!

On Saturday afternoon Amelia finally let me feel her gums, and I found that she has two new teeth that have popped through – lower right lateral incisor and upper right first molar. I knew she was working on more teeth, but didn’t know she was working on two at one time! We gave her a dose of ibuprofen before bed, which seemed to make her a little more comfortable overnight.

I have been blessed with such an incredibly loving and generous husband. He bought me a beautiful Imperial Gray KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer! My old stand mixer broke over the summer, and I have just been using a little hand mixer since then. I have been entering contests all over the internet, trying to win a KitchenAid mixer, and my sweet hubby surprised me with one for my birthday! He also got me a Michael Bublé concert on Blu-ray . . . Mark knows me so well! Because of the snow, we postponed our birthday dinner date until Monday night – Grandma and Grandpa B are going to watch Amelia while Mark takes me to our favorite restaurant. He is so wonderful to me, and I know I’m a very lucky lady.

When we walked out the door on Sunday to head to church we found that we were snowed in! Mark’s car was covered in three inches of solid ice, and there was no way for us to move it and get our Jetta out of the garage. Amelia and I went back inside to play while Mark worked on cleaning off the car and the driveway. By the time he finished we were too late for church, but we ended up meeting Grandma and Grandma B for lunch. Once we got home Amelia took a nice long nap and then we played and read books for the rest of the day. What a great birthday weekend!
