VIDEOS...

I am extremely exhausted....I have been running around all afternoon getting things ready for our trip to Mexico..and I have no energy to write. But......we had big things happen tonight...at 7 months and 2 weeks...HARLOW CRAWLED!!!! And we got it on video....yeah! I am sooo excited!!! I was afraid she was going to wait until we were gone to do it, which would have been fine, but I am grateful to have witnessed it firsthand! Whoooohoooooo go baby girl! I am adding some other videos too...playdates, first sippy cup experience, scooting and crawling! We have come a long way in just a week. So proud! Now it's time to "BABY PROOF!"
OK...clarification.....my stupid camera is set on something wayyyyyy too high and wont download anymore...so here's one.

Happy Mothers Day 2010

Happy Mother's Day everybody!!! Such a fun weekend with Waylen and Harlow. Friday night we finally tried out Chipotle (I know...where have we been?) and we really liked it. Harlow of course had some guacamole and after that we went to Target and shopped around. Saturday was the beginning of Mother's Day for us. We woke up..ate breakfast and then went outside to pull some weeds. We put Harlow in her car and pushed her around to keep her happy while we did what we needed to do. At one point I glanced over at her and I saw her doing this......

How did she know what we were doing? We laughed and laughed...and she just kept going. After that, we went up to the YMCA and worked out (I got my body combat on..LOVE that class), and then came home and got ready to head to La Cantera! Where else would I rather spend my day....than SHOPPING? Waylen and I rarely go shopping at the mall together...so this was a special treat...I love shopping with Waylen. We had lunch at Grimaldis and it was super yummy. Waylen found an outfit for the wedding in Mexico and I had my eye on an outfit from JCREW that I picked up. I really wanted Waylen to get some Sperrys while we were at Nordstroms...but we came home with TOMS! Not sure how that happened, but he was happy and he promised me I could throw away the ugly plaid ones he has. hahahah..so it was a WIN/WIN! Saturday night we just grilled and hung out at the house. I had a great 1st Mother's Day. Waylen spoiled me and bought me a FLIP camcorder...so now I can film Harlow a little better and just upload them to the blog with ease. Thanks babe! I am so thankful for Waylen and Harlow and the opportunity to be a momma to such a sweet angel. I have loved every minute of it so far. I love you Harlow. Love M

Do They make SPF ONE MILLION!!!?

Do they?? If not they definitely should. I refuse to let my daughter go through this skin cancer drama. It just plain stinks. I vow to cover that girl in every type and strength of sunscreen until the day she leaves this house! ahhahaha....We shall see how that one goes! heheh. This weekend was great...lots of family time. Waylen, Harlow and I...ALL WEEKEND. I love those weekends. Friday, we didn't do much just worked out and then went to dinner. Usually on the weekends we like to splurge on eating a bit so we headed to Chilis. Now that we upgraded to a big girl carseat, we can't carry it into the restaurant...so she also had to upgrade to a highchair. She did so good. We got her a little cup of guacamole and she was set. I would dip her pacifier in it and stick in her mouth and she would just suck...and suck and suck. I had to pry it out of her mouth to give her some more! Saturday, Harlow and I went up to the YMCA for a bootcamp class...well..I did...Harlow played. Then we met up with dad after his meetings and went and had lunch at the Quarry and mommy and daddy went bathing suit shopping for Mexico. UUUUGGGGHHHHH! I hate bathing suit shopping! Everytime I walked out in one Harlow would laugh...still not sure if that was a good sign or not. Needless to say...daddy found one and mommy didn't. So maybe another day. We took many walks in our new car, cooked dinner and mommy and daddy watched a movie. Sunday, after church and naps, Harlow and I met up with the girls and all the kiddos while all the guys helped one of our friends move. We played in the pool, hung out all day and had dinner. Harlow got in the pool for the first time. She loved it. It was just a little blow-up pool...which she probably viewed as a huge bathtub....but she loved it. We had a little float for her to sit in and she just splashed and yelled the whole time. I followed her around with an umbrella the whole time...seriously. hahaaha. By the time we left it was 8:45 and she was pooped. SO TIRED. We gave her the fastest bath ever...screaming the whole time ( I will get to that) and got her to bed as quick as possible. Such a good weekend. Now back to the bath part. For some reason she is having major issues adjusting to having her normal bathtub inside the big bathtub instead of on the sink. Not sure why, but she screams as soon as she gets in. So tonight we tried our big bathtub thinking maybe its the room she didn't like and it worked!!!! Well that and the fact that I sat down in the bathtub with her...with clothes on and all. And once she got comfortable she splashed me with water for about 5 mins. Whatever makes her happy. No crawling yet...but we are working on it....here are pics and a video of her trying. LOVE, M
