Warmer Weather...leading up to 7ish months

The warm weather is finally here and I'm so happy to share so many walks with Pip.  We have a routine now where we go for a morning, afternoon and night walk together and she ALWAYS holds the poop bag tied to leash. She loves it. I love it. It's so awesome.

Mother's Day at Great Grandma's house.

Trekking home on a beautiful night:)

Selfie madness!

Chillin on Grandma's porch.

Easter fun with Remy and Piper playing on the front lawn.

Piper holds the poop bag!

So chic.

She may look like Daddy, but so far she has eyes of her own!

Hanging with friends in the grass.

Nothing beats a shopping cart ride and a bag to play with!

She finally started to sleep on her stomach a little!  Now, if only we could lose the pacifier....

27 minutes...

If I'm lucky, every morning starts with about 27 minutes of pure freedom.  Piper is typically a handful. She loves to be entertained and held and gets bored easily.   However, every morning Piper has slept. Piper has been fed. And Piper is cool with being left on her playmat with the fan whizzing above her (the girl freaking loves fans).  

Once the clock starts, it's a race.   How much can I get done in that amount of time?! I never fully know.

This was today:

-throw in a load of laundry on 'delicates'
-empty dishwasher
-load dishwasher
-make toast
-make coffee
-take a vitamin (go me!)
-assemble 3 bottles and grab a new outfit to prepare diaper bag for daycare
-assemble pump
-straighten up first floor
-vacuum living room
-eat remaining toast
-clean kitchen counters
-straighten up the recycling
-put the leash on the dog
-put on sneakers and bjorn
-throw my hair in a pony and apply mascara (MASCARA?!)
-pour coffee, sit and enjoy while fully wearing the empty bjorn until Piper is bored...which is 2 minutes later. 

It's AMAZING what a few baby free minutes can do!
