Memorial Weekend and Bumbo!

This weekend we were lucky enough to make it to the Anderson Family Reunion on Lake Granbury. I always love going to this and seeing family you probably wouldn't see otherwise. This was technically Quinn's second reunion, but she was just a tiny little peanut in my tummy last year! Of course everyone loved her and thought her chubby thighs were the cutest! She also got to meet her cousin Chasleigh for the first time! Chasleigh is 6 months old and loved Quinn! She crinkled her nose with a huge smile every time she saw Quinn! They were both so good all weekend being passed from Aunt to Aunt. We also brought them a pool to splash in, but they were not fans of the super cold water! NEXT YEAR! It was a short, but great weekend! We can't wait for next year!

With Cousin Lyla and Papaw! 

With Mason, Chasleigh, Uncle Jay and Aunt SueLynn

Quinn also had her 4 month appointment (with shots) last week. She did GREAT, cried for a few moments, but was perfectly fine after a few minutes! Her doctor still assured us that her head is shaped perfectly and healthy in every other way too! We

We're still trying the rice cereal out. It's getting better, but she's still not a HUGE fan of it. Her doctor told us to make it a little thicker and that seemed to work better, she just has to get used to that spoon!! 

Quinn can almost sit up on her own now! (YAY!) We bought a Bumbo chair for her last week and it seems to be helping her sit up better on her own. I can't wait until she's able to sit up on her own and really starts to giggle! (and NOT just for Daddy either!) She's continuing to be the greatest blessing of our lives! Loving every moment these days!

BIG GIRL! 

Quick note on my weight loss journey, since I posted last I've lost 5 more pounds! BUT, I'm pretty sure I gained it all back this weekend, no one's on a diet on Memorial Day!! Found this AMAZING recipe that I want to share: Gwyneth Paltrow's Braised Chicken. Not only is she a gorgeous movie star, she's a pretty amazing cook! I've made this recipe three times already and it just keeps getting better! It does however; take a pretty long time to cook, but it's NECESSARY if you want it to taste amazing! It's worth the wait, I promise!! Thanks for stopping by, if you try the recipe let me know how it goes! YUMMY!
