Sunday night I was scanning a document and Carolina was laying on the floor behind me. I turned around and she was sitting up. I didn’t think anything of it because it’s not odd to see her sitting we sit her up all the time. But then I realized she sat herself up for the very first time when I wasn’t looking!
Ugh she’s grown so much her seventh month. Hard to believe just a few days until she’s 8 months old. Sunday night temps dropped and we were expected to get sleet and snow. It said it was supposed to be snowing at 8pm so I wanted to take the baby out and see so I got her all bundled...but no snow yet!
Goodnight, little Valentine! Cupid is bringing you snow for your first Valentine’s Day
We went to bed and at 2 AM we had power outage and Dane got up to turn on generator! There was some snow but I opted to stay in bed with Carolina because she was sound asleep. The kid in my heart wanted to get up so bad though. At 6 she woke up wanting to nurse and I said nope mommy wants to see snow! Haha so we got up she doesn’t know it yet but this is a rare specialty in Texas I’ve seen snow four times in my life including this time!
We went back to sleep it was too cold and Carolina was NOT ready to be awake! But there was snow hanging around all day so we got some more pics of course
Pooh bear was cold too so we gave him a hat, sill old bear.
Such a memorable experience for us 💗❄️ Kinley next door came over and Carolina loves her
Mama and daddy went out to enjoy it before it all melted, we left the baby inside for this one it’s just too cold
When we woke up Tuesday power was back on but we didn’t have water so we went to hang out at Danes moms for a little bit. We still had a lot of snow stuck to the ground though that’s a record for Texas it’s normally gone within a couple hours.
This is how Carolina feels about snow in the south y’all
Wednesday my nana and aunt chylon and my mama came over to get away from the cold and nana spent the night with us because it was 40 degrees in her house and they didn’t have water! So Dane took the blow up in the living room and nana slept with me and Carolina June! Thursday was Carolina June’s 8 month bday and nanas 80th birthday!
Nana took a nice bubble bath with a glass of iced coffee and I gave her my big terry cloth robe and some flannel pjs to put on! She says she slept good, Carolina did her normal wake up routine so I know nana heard her a few times. Thursday was a whirlwind of a day! My cousin Brittni said on and off she was gonna come her I was trying to be host to my nana and my aunt and take care of Dane and Carolina the neighbor came and left Danes brother came and left...nana had to go get her second Covid vaccine..I’ve gotten VERY ocd so I was trying to keep everything as clean as possible while people were here. My cousin did end up coming with my two little cousins....well around five my nana and aunt went home and told my mom about their day and my mom started crying which never happens. Somehow none of us called her and told her to come over and she was waiting all day. I wish she had called and I wish one of us had called but we can’t get the day back. All we can do is move forward ask for forgiveness and ask god to heal our broken hearts because I assure you, my moms hurting and we were all devastated about it too. We are going to celebrate nanas birthday again. So to try and cheer my mom up we went over for Mexican food on uncle brads dime so she could see Carolina June. I didn’t sleep good at all I felt horrible about my mom and knew I wanted to do something to show her how much we love her and how sorry we are so Friday morning I ordered a salted caramel Bundt cake in the “nothing Bundt drama” theme (fitting for an apology cake haha) and I picked up aunt chylon and me her and the baby picked up the cake and surprised my mom at work with it! She was excited. A cake will never make what happened better but it sure can help.
Now let’s talk about how PRECIOUS my baby girl looked in her overalls 🥺😍
Just a girl and her MawMaw dog
We went back over to hang out with nana and them for a little while and then I got Carolina June to sleep in her crib for a nap! Brittni got her to take two naps in her crib Thursday by placing her hand over her ear and gently pressing her head down and patting her back/bottom.
So she took a nap for me by doing that! I was so proud of her. I cleaned up quite a bit while she was sleeping. Then when Dane got home we ate dinner and went to my moms for leftover cake and to bring home my coffee creamer I forgot! We played a game of nertz while I was there and oh my gosh me and my aunt screamed “NNNEERRRTTZZ” at the same time and I’ve never seen my child so terrified! She cried big time! But she nursed and had a dance party with mommy and was much better. We came home kinda late but she was in her CRIB asleep at 10, and I didn’t even hear her wake up Dane got her at some point in the night and brought her to bed but he doesn’t remember what time. All we could see was her baby booty on the monitor! So Saturday morning before you shopping for birthday fabric she took a nap I tried to get her in her crib but she woke up and wouldn’t go back down so I left her to play so she can get used to her bed.
She gave each of her 100 acre woods friends a little attention.
Then we went shopping in our matching sunnies for fabric with aunt chylon and nana for her 1st bday dress! I want it to be pale yellow lavender and white lace trim...but lavender has been so hard to find so we may add aqua or robins egg blue to the mix! We found an adorable bumble bee honey hive fabric but like I said no lavender! But we did get fabric to make 3 other dresses! Adorable country quilt with coordinating fabrics, black and white and lime green chicken / chicken wire fabric and colorful socks on a line with aqua gingham fabric! I’m gonna have to make her some adorable bows to coordinate. I’m thinking she’s gonna need some rain boots to wear too because there’s nothing cuter than a little rag muffin baby in rain boots!
Sunday we went for a walk and I am obsessed with her beautiful dark brown hair!
