I'm in a Swing
Baby loves the swing. He could live in there if you let him.

Weekend Update - Baptism
Sister was very ill when Little Miss was baptized so this is the first picture (in a church) of Little Miss and her godparents. So, it is both kids with all of the godparents.
Below is Husband's family all together.
Below is my family excluding the Nephew.
There are tons of pictures and every combination of family member grouping you can think of. I'll frame some of them eventually.
Afterwards, we had everyone to the community room and some of our good friends who could make the event. We made food up ahead of time so everyone helped out to assemble and lay out everything. It was a nice relaxing day. I definitely deserved the nap later in the evening.
On Sunday, I went out with friends to a winery. It was another beautiful day. We sat outside, snacked and enjoyed some wine. There's no better way to spend a Sunday.

Week 20
I think he may be teething. He's always been fairly drooly, but he's added the chewing. He always soothes by sucking his thumb, but now he's gnawing feverishly. Funny how he is preparing to grow some teeth while Little Miss is busy losing hers!

- Trying to Score by Toni Aleo (NOTE: This is part of her Assassins series. The order of which can be found here in the Books tab.)

I was looking for some romance and had all of these in my giant pile of books to read. I rarely glom onto an author, but it was nice to spend a solid chunk of time in Fools Gold with Susan Mallery's characters. Decent reading month, enjoyable.

The Fine Print
The other day, I had this conversation with Little Miss:

Weekend Update - See You in September
The first weekend in September doesn't deserve a separate post. We really did very little. I tidied up the apartment a little. We napped a little. We took walks. On Sunday, Husband's friend and his wife came over to watch some football. It was a quiet weekend.
Last weekend, it was kind of the same type of deal. It was quiet and low key. I caught up on some television and put a billion loads of laundry away. On Sunday, I met a friend for brunch, and we walked around. The weather was beautiful. I picked up a pretty dress on sale and managed to walk out of Target with nothing. So, big milestone for me, too.

Milestone
Baby sleeps in a sleep sack. He also has an open swaddle now that he can roll over so his arms are free, but we alternate depending on the laundry rotation. It's been tricky for him to roll over in the sack, but he can. He loves rolling onto his tummy. But today, he rolled onto his back in the sleep sack. If he can do it in the sleep sack, it'll be a piece of cake with clothes on! He looked so proud of himself if not a little surprised. We lavished praise on him accordingly.

Optimism
Little Miss left the house with Husband the other day and told him this:
"It's going to be good day today. I just don't know if it's going to be awesome or just great."

Weekend Update - Labor Day
We had a glorious low-key weekend. I worked from home on Friday.
On Saturday, Husband went to a friend's house to watch sports. Meanwhile, Baby and I took a little nap after our morning routine. Then, we took a walk. He slept most of the evening while I watched tv. Husband came home after we were both in bed.
On Sunday, Little Miss came home after being away for what seemed like forever. It was great to have her home. We had a nice family dinner together.
On Monday, we got up and got going. Little Miss and I needed to do some last-minute school shopping. So, we went to Target for a backpack, lunch bag and a few other essentials - like Kit Kats. We had a girls' lunch and then went to buy some back to school shoes. Little Miss had to have these cowboy boots. She wore them out of the store, and she absolutely loves them.
And now we have a First Grader! More on that after I load the pictures...

Week 18
This was a big week! We finally saw Baby roll over onto his tummy. He hates tummy time so it's a frustrating time for everyone until he can roll back over to his back. I also had to break down and get a bumper for the crib. He has started sleeping in the crib now that he's sleeping consistently through the night.
