Friday Fatigue

It's been a long week...

Do you think this is EASY for me?

Learning to crawl has resulted in some frustration for the young Rosie. Luckily, her dog and her mama are willing to lay on the floor with her as cheerleaders.

Tabletop baby so everyone can see. She seems pretty comfortable!

Hooray for Sleep!

Thanks to prayer, carrots and rice cereal, this sweet girls sleep patterns are finally improving. 

That's something to celebrate!

Rosie hearts Bernadette.

Countertop Bumbo + Happy Baby = enjoyable meal preparation 

(Dog at feet to consume any dropped food helps too)

Friday is usually our " fend for yourself, don't expect me to cook" nights, named by our friends Julie and Nate as "No A game Friday" but this week we managed to save some energy for dinner.

Rosie had to eat as soon as she got home, but once she was partially satiated, we got started. Barrett made the starter, but the main course was fish packets with veggies and a citrus ginger sauce. They were a hit! We will definitely make again, but more of them. It was a light "spa" type dinner and our patriarch was still hungry after his.

Barrett's kickball team, the Outlaws, enjoy their youngest cheerleader--even when she falls asleep on the job!

Five months old

Time flies and she changes so much every day, reminding us of our many blessings.

Hippie Chick

A coworker gave her this outfit, and the weather seems sufficiently warm enough to give it a try. Note: her father strongly protested the wearing of the headband.
