A few months back I wrote a weekend update post and joked that I couldn't do the weekend in iPhone pics because I didn't have a cool fun. Flash forward to the future and here I am. My lovely weekend started when I got to wake up Eva on Friday morning - as in she slept in long enough for me to wake her up instead of vice versa. That's always a great feeling. She looked super cute and cuddly under her blankets so I had to snap a quick pic. I was glad to see that she was nestled under the blankets because I always worry about her room feeling so cold. Usually she is standing up and bouncing around in the crib so I can't tell if she's used her blankets but her feet are frigid. Now I can see why...check out those foots pjs poking out from the blankets :)
The reason I woke up that munchkin was so that we would have a chance to all eat breakfast together before Ryan and I went on our date! Date night! At 10 AM.... So my mom came up and played with Eva for a few hours while Ryan and I saw the movie Safe Haven (loved it!) and grabbed some pizza at our favorite hole in the wall place. It was supposed to be our romantic Valentine's date that got a bit delayed. We even made the effort to get dressed up in trendy blazers but it was so cold that we wore our jackets the whole time and this was the only photo we managed to take.
Friday evening we took food to our friends, the Mckinneys, to celebrate the birth of their new baby girl, Eleanor June! I will gladly bring someone a home cooked meal in exchange for a few moments of holding a newborn. Eleanor was very beautiful and good natured. Eva was quite interested in her.
Saturday morning was still chilly but Eva had been antsy to play outside for a few days. I hate it when it is too cold and windy and she just goes to the door and gestures to go outside. I would much rather her be able to run and play! I am trying to convince her to love wearing sunglasses like her mama because she frequently cries when the sun gets in her eyes in the the car. We have window coverings but they are never at the right angle. Plus little kids look adorable in sunglasses. Win, win.
Saturday night we went to Ryan's parents for a family birthday celebration for his dad and brother in-law. Eva and Mallory got to rockin' in the chair so we tried to take a photo - this is Eva's gigantic "CHEESE" smile. She squints her eyes and smiles so big!
We tricked the older cousins into taking pictures with us by making silly faces. Whatever works. I love all these little girls so much and have such a great time when we are all together.
Today was finally warmer so we took Eva to the park after her nap. (Also you can't really tell but I got Eva's hair into a tiny top ponytail today under her hair clip.) She got to swing and slide and .... fly a kite! My dad got her the world's tiniest kite for Valentine's day so we gave it a whirl. She liked to watch us do it but wasn't so sure about doing it herself. We will work on it.
Love the weekend update and the fun time we had Sat night!
ReplyDeleteI think her 'cheese' face is about my favorite thing!
