Ahhhh, Fleece weather has arrived!

Those of you who know me well know I have a "slight" infatuation with fleece.....I'd wear it all year round if I could get away with it. I think one can never own too much fleece and I'm happy to say as I went outside this Sunday morning, I can confidently say Fleece Weather has arrived! At least for the next several days, I'm hoping those pesky 90 degree days are now officially gone for the year!

So, it should come as no surprise that I've already bought Mallory her first fleece as well! Actually I bought it about 2 months ago but it's 6 month size so we are moving her into 6 month clothes this weekend. So all her cute little fleece Carter's vest/outfits that I got her will be good to go for those fall days!

We've had a busy week, as always.

The week started off with us receiving Sofie the Teething Giraffe from Amazon. I've heard tons of people rave about this little rubber giraffe and I figured it would give Mallory an alternative to her fist or the burp cloth to shove into her mouth. So far she really seems to like it. Don't know what it is about it, but they seem to love it.
Here's a few pictures of Bean and Sofie.




We got her Weigh In on Friday evening and she's up to 14 lb 7.5 oz. Not a huge gain from last week but at this point they slow down some anyway and I can tell she's really gained inches in the last couple weeks, which is why the footy pj's aren't fitting anymore and we are having to move into the 6 month jammies and clothes.

I had something happen this week that I've never had happen before.....my baked potatoes exploded in the oven. Not just one, but both of them. What in the world causes that?? They hadn't been in there too long, perhaps moisture, but who knows. I didn't do anything differently than normal. I her one pop and was like, wow that's weird, and then about 5 minutes later the other one popped. Really strange. Here's the pictures to prove it.




The race for the cure was on Saturday and it was really neat to be there with that many people, somewhere over 15,000 people were there for the festivities. We opted for Ben and Mallory to stay at home and I treked over there around 6 am on Saturday. Here's a few pictures from yesterday and all the people. I did finish the race without walking but I was 10 seconds slower than last weekend, but I attribute that to having to fight, dodge and weave my way through thousands of people in the first mile. They didn't have those running start first so it was just a big mess and you would have to jog in place until you could get around people, so only a 10 second different from last week after all that isn't too bad.

Thanks again for everyone who made donations and supported me! It was just great to see all the survivors and everyone's overall positive mood. There was one lady there who was a 54 year survivor. I couldn't get a good look at her to see how old she is now, but she's got to be in at least her middle 70's!

Here's some crowd shots and my "In Celebration Of" tag I wore in the race.






Bean is just barely getting to the point where she can sit up some unaided for a very brief amount of time. Here's a few shots of her doing that and other just cute pictures from the past week.
