Friday Highfive

It's going to be a hot weekend in Charleston...

Here's a highfive for making it to Friday!

Last week I tried Walmart's free Grocery pickup option, and today I tried Harris Teeter's.  There were pros and cons to each.  Walmart's online system was more user friendly, and the pickup was faster.  Harris Teeter has better sales and more of the items that we frequently buy, but I had to go inside to order a sub and it took longer.  Overall, I was MUCH better able to stay on budget with both experiences...I'm talking almost $50 savings, what do I buy?!  I am leaning towards sticking with Harris Teeter, they included free roses today!

Fun manicure of the week.  I filed these into an almond shape, the stiletto trend does not work with a baby.

I ordered the bridesmaids dress that I mentioned here from Lord and Taylor last week.  Of course I had to pick up a little something for my girl, and this sweet Kate Spade dress was on super sale.  I purchased it in 24 month size and I'm hoping she'll be able to wear it next Easter.

 And this is a silly purchase, but I only needed to spend a few more dollars to qualify for free shipping so I snagged this sticker.  It says it will bond permanently to any surface so I am going to find a faux leather tote for EB's overnight things and stick it on.

My in-laws handed us down new patio cushions and I'm loving them!

I adore the kelly green color.

9 MONTH UPDATE

Our girl is 9 months old (as of a couple of weeks ago) and she is the most precious thing I've ever known.  She is 19 lbs, wearing  9 month and 12 month clothes.  She is saying "Da-da"  "Ba-Ba" when addressing Alfie and the occasional "Ma-Ma".  She is so curious and crawling everywhere, into everything!!

I swear some days I feel like all I say is No-No-No.

She eats three meals a day...breakfast is oatmeal, yogurt, grits.  

Lunch is usually a pouch on the go and a graham cracker.

Dinner is a meat (ground turkey, canned salmon) and veg (either pureed or mashed) and then a fruit for "dessert"...right now she is really into mandarin oranges.  She also takes 4 bottles a day, each 6 ounces.  I am looking to cut this back to 5 oz next week.  We start bedtime at 6:00 pm with bath (constantly trying to stand up in the tub and pull out the stopper...No No) then a massage and pjs while I sing to her, and then her last bottle and then down.  She sleeps from 6:30 pm to 7:30 am.  

Her personality is adorable and fun and so so sweet. 

She is beautiful inside and out.

EBN, what did we do before you???

Have a great weekend!
