Weekend Update

Hello, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to stay warm! Now if you live in the NWA area then you were given an extra day added to your weekend! That's right, yet another snow day. Since there's not much going on outside of the home today, I'll let you have a peek into our weekend. 

Fridays are my favorite, they are the one day a week TJ and I get to have any alone time. So we like to go out to eat for lunch before picking up Carson in the afternoon. We just went to Olive Garden (for some real, authentic Italian food) and it was nice catching up without a baby throwing a sippy cup at us haha!

This is grocery shopping on Saturday with my 27 lb 10 oz, 15 month old who is in the 82% for height, 90% for weight, and 97% for growth overall! He got checked out on Friday and I was a little surprised to hear those big numbers!

I knew we were supposed to get quite a bit of snow so I tried to beat the crowds on Saturday and went grocery shopping with Carson at 8 AM while his daddy slept in. He was doing so good until he saw that the little boy ahead of us was getting a snack so he decided he needed one too. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised about his growth! 

While Carson went down for his last nap of the day I went to the mall by myself, it's quite therapeutic if you ask me. I justified it by saying Carson needed new shoes. Which is true, the boy grew two shoe sizes in two weeks! Besides, I was scared I was going to get snowed in for the unforeseeable future and wanted to delay cabin fever as long as I could. It was necessary. 

Then Sunday we did a whole lot of nothing. The Super Bowl was on in our living room but the game really wasn't worth watching. (Sorry Peyton & Eric) 

 We decided now is a good time to be trying new things with Carson. First up, using silverware on his own! It's been quite the messy process but he's getting better! We're also trying to transition over to only using sippy cups and only drinking milk. It's been a long road with those two and formula is NOT cheap so I'm ready to be done with it!  We're thinking about trying to get him to sleep in the crib this week too if we get snowed in for a while. Wish us luck!

I hope everyone enjoys their snow day and stays safe and warm!
