Project Life: Week 6

Inspired by Jessica Turner's (The Mom Creative) blog, I've challenged myself to take a picture each day this year. So far, so good! Here is a recap of last week:



Project Life: Week 6

Saturday, February 5th



Following the blizzard, we had arctic temperatures that kept us huddled inside. Today it was finally warm enough (ha!) to take Elaina out to explore snow for the first time. She was very interested and handled it like a champ. I am so excited for next winter, when we'll go out and actually play!


Sunday, February 6

This picture pretty much sums up our interest in this year's Superbowl--half-interest :). (Was happy to see the Packers win...division rivals or no, it was a good game!) We did go to Josh's folks for the first 2 1/2 quarters, which was a lot of fun, and then came home to put Elaina to bed. Josh enjoyed the rest of the game while playing a video game.

This face sums up Little Missy's evening: cranky. She was so inconsolable that we put her to bed early, and it seemed to have done the trick. She woke up the next morning the happy, smiling baby I know and love!

Tuesday, February 8th

Until she was 10 1/2 months old, Elaina was not a good sleeper. We tried this Fisher Price soothing sounds machine, but it only served to fuel her sleep-fighting rage, so eventually it went the way of the Swaddle-Me and the Seahorse (life drastically improved once she rediscovered the Paci!). She discovered her soothing sound machine tonight and enjoyed listening to it--this time, without tears.

Today I also had a dr appointment, and we got to hear Peanut's heartbeat again (145!). I was only a little disappointed that we have to wait so long for the next sono. I can't wait to see this little creature who has been kicking me!

Wednesday, February 9th

As a wedding gift, I am making a wedding album for Rachel and Lips. It's my first time using Picaboo, and I've been very impressed. For inspiration, I pulled out our wedding album. It was wonderful to reminisce about that special day 4 1/2 years ago!

Thursday, February 10th

Tonight Elaina decided to play in the pots. She didn't quite realize she's quite a bit bigger than her selected seat!

Friday, February 1th
When I came in from work today, Elaina in tow, I saw these beautiful flowers on the island. Josh had them sitting next to a heart of chocolates. I realize this may be cliche for some people, but it was quite unexpected, and it made me feel so special.
