We made the trek to Perryville to visit Grandma Lilly in the nursing home which is the first time she's gotten to see her. She loved it! You could tell it really made her day! Here's a couple pictures from our visit with Grandma!
Yes, dogs are allowed in the nursing home as well, which is good since it was only like a million degrees out this weekend. Tucker got to visit Grandma too!
Then we headed back to Sikeston where Bud was to make his famous fried chicken for everyone and some family friends. Paula and Dwayne, Nena and Bron and Pastor and Joyce joined the rest of us for a nice evening. It was so great to see Nena and finally meet her fiance Bron! Of course everyone loved meeting Mallory for the first time!
Sunday we took turns going to church and then Ben and I ventured to the outlet mall. Bass for him some new khakis and polos and then I hit the Carter's outlet....oh my....I could spend A LOT of money in there! She has TONS of 3 month clothes, so we should be good through the rest of this perhaps never ending summer, but she doesn't have as many Fall clothes so I got her tons of cute stuff AND a Halloween outfit. I couldn't resist. She will be a cow and it's adorable but I'll save it until Halloween for everyone else.
At 2 we had her private baptism at the church. It was nice and other than Bud, Susan and Micah we also celebrated with Paula, Dwayne, Nena, Nathan, Elizabeth, Parker and Joyce. It was perfect, other than the fact that I was so HOT, but Mallory did good, we had her decked out in a cute little white dress with pink flowers that one of Memaw's friends had given us. It was a beautiful ceremony and I think we all felt blessed. Here are some pictures from the Baptism that Elizabeth graciously took for me!
Today we had to go to the doctor so she could get weighed and her Zantac prescription be updated to reflect her weight. According to their scales this am she's up to 11 pounds 6 ounces! That's 5 oz in about 3 days! I'm going to weigh her again tonight and see what I get at home as well....either way she's growing like crazy and her prescription def needed to be upped so we are at 1 ml twice a day instead of just 1/2 a ml twice a day.
One other quick rave for the day is our Kid Co Pea Pod. I'd been eying them since before she was born and finally broke down and ordered one....in GREEN of course! It's basically a pop up travel crib/tent/thingy. It's great to carry anywhere and she can sleep in it if we are traveling or just play in it. I like it for home because I can have her on the floor and put her in it and not worry about Tucker walking on her. He leaves her along but he still doesn't seem to realize that she is something that he can't step on, it's like he just forgets, so until she's bigger, the Pea Pod will work well. I think Ben's initial response was that's dumb we wont use it, but I beg to differ and I'm already using it. Used it this weekend so she could lay/play on the floor without the barrage of dogs being able to get to her in Sikeston. (there were 4 running around this weekend counting Tucker.)
Here's Ben in her pod!
