Sweet mail day!!

The mailman was very good to me today!!! I love a good mail day. I got beach towels from lands end, clothes from carters, free piece of pizza, a birth announcement, coffee samples, newsletter from our old church, and a check for a mattress topper we sold. So fun!!

Post 100 full of cuteness...

Weekend in the BG

We had a very busy yet very fun visit to Bowling Green this weekend.

When we got to town Friday, we went to see Adam, Em, and Bella. Our friends Andrew, Lindsay, and jackson came over to see us. Bad momma didn't get a pic of Elsie and Bella together:-(

Saturday morning we went to Andrews parents house for breakfast with the crew. After that we headed to swim and hang out with some families from our small group we used to be in (so sad I didn't take any pics!!)

Elsie took a nap with daddy, mommy went to target...then we headed to the Crosby's to get fresh eggs. Dinner with the sweet Gilliam family was next.

Luckily, we were able to see lots of friends at church on Sunday!!

Another target trip

Elsie and I needed to get out of the house this evening. We had been home for a couple of days and daddy was playing softball. So here is what we got:

TGIF meals 2.50 each with a target coupon for $1 off 2 and 2 $1 manufactures coupons = $1 each

Ziploc containers 2.27 each with a target coupon for a $1 off 2 and 2 $1 manufactures coupons = 1.25 each

Yogurt .53 cents each with a $1 off 4 = .28 cents each

Shower curtain liner 2.34 with $1 off = 1.34 (we needed a new one bad!)

Total bill: a little over $7
Not too bad. I don't know exactly how much I saved because the prices for the TGIF meals, containers, and yogurt were all sale prices.

3 months...

Elsie is SOOO much fun!!! During play time, she will talk to us, smile, watch her toys, try to grab the toys, when she gets a toy she puts it in her mouth, rolls all over the place, scoots a little...She is all over the place.

She is rolling back to belly and belly to back proficiently, which means she only gets swaddled with her arms out. We will be moving to the sleep sack soon.

She loves her playmat, even tho she rolls off of it. She tried to roll out of her bouncy seat. The jumper is a favorite and the swing is still a relaxtion/nap go to.

We have been going out in the evenings and letting Elsie roll around on a blanket in the grass and she LOVES her cuddle dog.

Elsie went to an Otters game and met some of the people her daddy works with. She went to Dale Hollow Lake with Andrew's family and went on her first boat ride. We have been swimming a couple of times and she loves the water. Elsie celebrated her first 4th of July. She had a cookout and got to meet the neighborhood kids that are her age. Watched Daddy play softball. Elsie watched her first parade at the Haubstadt Somerfest:)
MOST IMPORTANTLY-Elsie got to meet her cousin, Madelyn, that is one week older than her.

Goal for the next month-making a schedule for feeding and naps, sleeping in her bed at naptimes, and goig to sleep without being rocked or her swing.

Elsie on a roll...

My almost 3 month old (on Monday) has been rolling over and scooting all over the place. She tries to roll out of her bouncy seat, gets on her belly on her playmat and gets mad, tries to arch her back out of her bumbo....she keeps me busy already.

Here is how she moves in a less than 5 minute time frame.
