Sorry....

....for the lack of blogging. It's not that I don't want to blog but as of late I have really been convicted with spending time on the computer during E's wake time. She is growing so fast and I want to treasure every moment I have with her. Why don't you just do it while she is sleeping you ask? Well I would but there is thing called laundry, dishes, vacuuming, showering etc that needs to happen then. So just be patient with me as I figure out this rhythm of blogging with my little one. I do love this blog because I love looking back at what has happened in my life and I enjoy all the sweet comments. Until then here are some recent pictures of life:

My friend Jessica and me at her baby shower!

Trying our her new exersaucer...she seems to like it!

Getting doted on by her uncle, aunt and cousins

Nana's shirt had flowers on it and she didn't understand why they didn't come off

We are so close to crawling........agh!

I haven't blogged in awhile. Part is because I'm dealing with a little girl who is struggling with taking naps and part because I feel like my life is boring. Not boring to me but maybe boring to those reading.
We finally got to go to church on Sunday for the first time with E. With her schedule and reflux fussiness, we hadn't been able to go until now. E did really well. She fell asleep during the music and slept for most of the service.
My 30th birthday is coming up next month and I don't know how I feel about it. It just seems so much older than 29. Sigh...

I love this time of year for the award shows. Golden Globes, Oscars, People's Choice - I love them all.

E is becoming more fun by the day. I just love her. Taking her picture is getting harder because she can't stay still -ha! This was some pics I took before church on Sunday:

Is it weird that this is the first year that I have some excitement for Valentines Day? Don't get me wrong - I like the holiday but with my birthday being right after I always liked celebrating that more. (This does not get you off the hook for Valentine's Day Jason!) I'm just excited to start traditions with E with this holiday. So fun!

This week I have put on real clothes once. I have taken a shower every day but have put lounge clothes back on afterwards. You know what? I enjoyed it!
I have had lemonade every day this week. It brought back memories of this time last year when lemonade was one of the only things that calmed my all day morning sickness.

How is your Friday going?

Random Thoughts

Acid reflux is not fun for all parties involved. Poor E gets upset after it happens and her outfits are always semi wet, and I forever smell like partially digested breastmilk.

I'm starting to like being a homebody. I haven't really gone to many places since E has been born because we don't want to expose her to large crowds or anything just yet. I'm starting to enjoy it and this is coming from a girl who loves to socialize.

I've ordered E's birth announcements and I can't wait to send them out. Thank goodness for shutterfly gift cards because those things aren't cheap =).

I'm craving Raising Cane's. I think they put some additive in their sauce because I crave it ALL the time and always ask for an extra sauce when I order.

I think it's absolutely adorable that E will fall asleep to Taylor Swift. Does this mean I listened to her too much when she was inside me? =)

I'm loving this cold weather! I will be getting my first pumpkin spice latte to celebrate. It will also be my first cup of coffee since before we found out we were pregnant.

Did you know that there are less than 100 days until Christmas?? What?! How did that happen? Wasn't it January yesterday?

I don't know why commercial jingles get forever engraved into my brain. I can still remember jingles for companies from my hometown growing up. What does this mean? Why does my brain think it's important to remember this kind of stuff and yet I can't remember where I put my keys?

TGIF!!

Thank goodness it's Friday! Can I get an Amen?!?

And an added bonus? We get Monday off!!! (Insert happy dance here)

I don't know about you but this week has been a doozy. All my kids in therapy this week decided it would be the time to act all wild and crazy or stare at me and refuse to do anything. Let me tell ya that was fun. I blame the end of the school year. So I'm excited that I get an extra day of relaxation.

Jason and I aren't doing anything incredibly exciting this weekend. We are cleaning our house and cleaning out the room that is to be the nursery. Other than that, we have nothing planned (we are cool, don't you want to be my friend?) But if I do have time these are some things I would like to do on my long awaited 3 day weekend.

Make these beauties - pineapple, banana and coconut milk. They sound so refreshing.

Get a manicure/pedicure. My feet are in desperate need of some pampering and I think this lovely purple would make me feel special.

Get my craftiness on!

See a movie! I have so many movies on my list that I better get started.

And if I really could hope and dream, I would love to be here:

Gorgeous scenery, cooler weather, a good book and a cup of coffee in my hands.

What are you planning to do this weekend??

Addiction

Hi my name is Elizabeth and I am addicted to Pinterest. They say admitting something is the first step towards recovery. But - I don't know if I want to recover =). I mean, have you tried pinterest?? Whoever thought of it was brilliant. It's a great way to mark things you see on the internet that you want to remember for later and don't want to remember every single website that you need. I can spend HOURS on this website. I mean, HOURS. It's kind of sad actually. Here is some things that I have recently pinned in the last few days:
