Weekend Shenanigans

Happy Monday--coming at you a little late today because I just can't get my act together on Sundays to write my weekend recap, especially this one because I caught yet another cold from our little Typhoid Mary (aka Ella). This is gonna be a fun year of germs I can tell.

Despite the stuffy noses, we had a really nice weekend with beautiful weather!

~Friday I scooped Ella as fast as I could after work and whisked her home in the best traffic we've had yet, so there was plenty of time for some playing. 
Ella started sounding like she had a stuffy nose Friday morning which has carried throughout the weekend unfortunately.

~We had a family Mexican dinner at Chuy's. Ella slept while we stuffed our faces with chips and their insane dip! 

~Saturday morning we did laundry and things around the house and let Ella try peanut butter for the first time--she was definitely trying to figure it out since it's wayyyyy different than breast milk, but no bad reactions!

 ~In the afternoon we headed out to a winery with our friends who have twins


~Ella decided she only wanted to sleep like a total of 1-2 hours Saturday but was in a good mood most of the day, and enjoyed her time at the winery looking around at everything around her while the adults enjoyed some delicious nectar of the Gods
thank you for the adorable outfit, Lynn!
~We grabbed some pizza on the way home from the winery and I started feeling like I might have a tickle at the back of my throat. I blame those oh-so kissable cheeks....and getting spit up on a million times a day (but the cheeks are so much cuter haha). I'm pretty sure my immune system is the same as a newborn's.
~Ella went down early due to not napping basically at all the whole day, and MG and I watched Nocturnal Animals which was disturbing and weird. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 maybe.

~Sunday morning we had blueberry pancakes and went out to run errands. Someone was super smiley in her carseat on the ride home
I just love her smile
~Ella went down for a nap for 2 hours (with some wake/fuss time in between) and afterwards we tried oatmeal for the first time with a spoon. Her face said she wasn't sure about it, but it was entertaining to watch her attempt it:
~Sunday afternoon we watched football, played with Ella, lazed around, and went for a short walk around the neighborhood with Ella and then grabbed Chipotle for dinner because I was too lazy to make anything and still felt kinda crummy from this stupid head cold I have.

Since Ella's cold started, she's also decided that waking up at 2am and 5 something am and crying is the thing to do. I'm guessing this is part of the 4 month sleep regression but I'd really like her to stop--especially since I'm sick too and feel groggy. Any moms have tips for how to get her to make it through the night sleeping again? She used to do SO well and not wake up until 6 when I would wake her up to nurse before work.

  3. I am so sorry for the colds...lacking sleep is no good! I am zero help. Bowen still wakes up one sometimes two times a night at almost two years old.

  7. My sister had the same regression recently with her little lady and everything she read said to just let them cry. It hopefully will pass soon, and hoping the same for that cold! Mmm Chuy's is the best!

  8. I'm SO glad that she didn't have a reaction to the PB!! That's great news! And I'm right there with ya on the head cold, although I think mine is allergies. I've felt like poo all weekend. I'm so ready to feel better! Mommin' ain't easy, and it's even harder when you're sick!
