Best. Weekend. Ever.


We honestly had the best weekend. Everything went seamlessly. We did all our normal chores, had lots of fun, watched movies and went to the zoo.

It all started with a yummy dinner with great friends on Friday night. Saturday we got up early and went to the farmers market and loaded up with yumm-o's for the family. Then we went to Gymboree, lunch and frozen yogurt. When we got home we played a little more (little lady is officially army crawling) ate dinner and then after our shower we watched Tangled. Annabelle was like a big kid watching the movie in my lap. We all loved it.
Sunday we grocery shopped, toy shopped and then spent the rainy day watching Beauty and the Beast snuggled up.

Monday was the best! We got up early and went to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Annabelle slept for the first half, but Daddy took pictures of all the animals she missed:





Then Annabelle woke up:




This gorilla was funny, he was playing with people, turned his back on them and then turned back around.




This is one of Annabelle's new favorite faces to make. Mom still loves her!

Clearly I am a terrible blogger

So what, I told myself I would keep this up, and I have totally dropped the ball. Living life each day is much more important. But now I do promise that I will work harder at keeping this blog up.

Few random thoughts on this cold, rainy, awful Thursday (that I keep thinking is Friday):
1. Starbucks is like cocaine to me, I just cannot get enough. I think about it all.the.freaking.time. It does not help that the one down the street from my office is AMAZING and the baristas are the best around. Also, it does not help that my 7 month old (holy cow, where has the time gone?!) has decided that sleep is stupid and is now refusing to sleep at night.
2. Bed Sharing was fun, but I am so ready for my child to sleep the entire night in her crib. Please make this happen soon.
3. I am so tired of breastfeeding it is unreal. Well, less tired of the actual feeding my child (when she isn't too distracted to eat), and more tired of the constant pumping required. Plus the fact that my supply keeps tanking for no apparent reason.
4. can the weather just decide what it will be and stay that way for a while? I am tired of hot, cold, hot, cold, hot cold.

I promise to post some pictures and updates on Miss Annabelle very soon.

* I do realize I am making a promise to no one since I am sure no one reads this. :)
