Day 6: Shepards Pie Night

Today was a rather productive day. We got the house cleaned, the laundry done, Shepard's pie made and walked the dog! I wish every day could be like this.

Today's positives:

S: James and I got some one on one time to do kangaroo care. For those of you who do not know what that is, Kangaroo care is time spent skin to skin with your baby. It is peaceful and relaxing. Quite rare to find a quiet moment to do with Gracie running around. I recommend this to anyone with a new or little baby.

M: On the way to the park we stopped and got a slushy, Gracie had a cherry one for the first time. She got her self quite a nice sugar high and talked non-stop, then proceeded to run laps around the house when we got home. Perhaps it was not the best thing to give a one year old but it was quite cute to watch.

S: This morning I made Gracie her first fruit smoothie. We put Banana's, Strawberry's, a cup of milk and some french vanilla ice cream in it. She loved it! I am excited to find a new way to sneak in all the milk she needs and lots of fruit (although fruit is not hard to get her to eat).

M: I enjoyed feeding James his bottle tonight. It's always nice to have that bonding time.

S: I taught Gracie to say "Uh Oh" when ever she does something by accident. It was funny to hear echo's of "Uh Oh" coming out of the nursery this afternoon.


We also started tummy time with James this afternoon. Pics to follow :)

Night all
