That's a wrap

Whew I feel like this was a whirlwind of a week. It always gets a little crazy around here the week before the Women's retreat. I embrace it and TRY to keep a positive attitude.

Moments like this sure help

Monday:
Went shopping for things to donate for the Women's retreat, fun day! Harwin, Sam Moon, Charming Charlies, Nordy. Got lots of really cool items, I can't wait to give them all away next weekend. My favorite donation prize is the bronze beauty bag, so cool!

Tuesday:
Baby food making day. Started at 2pm and didn't completely finish until 10PM! Yes 8 hours to make baby food. It took a lot longer this time because I added a few more organic recipes to the mix. This batch should last a few weeks, I sure hope so anyway. I made a total mess of the kitchen, wish I would have taken a few pics of the process. Peel, chop, steam, cool, blend, label and store.
Here's the menu for sweet baby Lawson for the next few weeks:
Blueberries and Pears
Beets and Blueberries
Spinach and Mango
Parsnips, Lentils, and Apples
Turnips and Sweet Potatoes
Kale, Blueberries, Apple and Fig
Broccoli and Apples
Butternut squash and Pears
Acorn Squash and Lentils
Carrots, Squash and Broccoli

He better love me for this!

Wednesday:
Caught up on the mound of laundry that's been calling my name for 7 days :)
Took Lawson to the park to play with other babies. Every Wednesday moms from the neighborhood meet up at the park. It's been California type weather this week which makes being outside all the more pleasant. This park n' play is where we found out about the YMCA parent/child swim lessons on Saturday from 10:30-11am.

Loves the swing

Thursday:
Lawson had his 9 month check up!
Height: 28 3/4 inches tall, 68 percentile
Weight: 22 12 ounces, 92 percentile
Head Circumference: 18 1/4 inches 86 percentile

Lawson is as healthy as can be. He didn't have to have any shots so I was thankful for that. Dr. Clarke said he's a very smart strong baby.

Lawson is pulling up on EVERYTHING and is starting to get little bumps and bruises, part of being a little boy :)

He nurses 4 times a day and eats 3 solid meals.

He takes a morning and afternoon nap both usually last somewhere between an hour to an hour and a half.

We keep his night time routine the same every night. Bless our food, eat dinner, strip down, take a bath with lots of rubber duckies and rubber letters, lotion, jammies, story time (when we aren't having a melt down), nighty night prayers, nurse, plays in crib for a little bit to wind down and usually out by 7:30pm.

He usually wakes up around 5ish nurse for 10 minutes and goes right back down till 7am.

We also learned today that Uncle Seth took Command, so in honor of this...

My Uncle, My Soldier, My Hero!

Friday:
Workday at the church for the Women's retreat from 9am - 3pm. Today was a long day. After the work day went to the Lowe's (Dave and Mandy Lowe) to get a flat bed trailer so Adam can pick up lumber for the new deck he is building tomorrow...SO EXCITED!!

Ended the day visiting Delaney Hull who was born yesterday :)

I was hoping to get out and "Cover the Night" (http://www.kony2012.com/) with all my Kony posters but that will have to wait till tomorrow.
