I almost forgot about our Friday Favorites post this week. I have been really busy I guess. I honestly have no idea what happened. We had Kenzie's birthday on Wednesday and I guess all the hype over that threw me off a bit. I wish I remembered more often through the week. Part of the reason I decided to start doing these posts weekly is to try to make myself take more pictures of Kenzie and our randomness through the week. I was looking back at old photos and I organize everything by month. When Kenzie was first born, I was so much better at documenting life than I am now that I chase around a toddler all day long. I want to get back in to the swing of things of pulling out my camera, whether it is my Rebel, my point and shoot, or just my iPhone and taking a picture of something we are doing that is fun or just something I want to have a visual reminder of one day.
This week we had quite a few rainstorms. Nothing new. It's Central Florida. Kenzie had her first puddle experience though and she LOVED it. She just stood there stomping in the puddle and laughing hysterically at the water "jumping" up to get her. Seeing things like that through her eyes is such an amazing experience.
Speaking of Kenzie, her favorite toy from her birthday so far seems to be her "doctor bag". The kid is obsessed with taking blood pressure, giving shots, checking ears, checking hearts, and everything else she can come up with. Poor Jack was even caught the other day for a heart check. Maybe we have a budding medical professional in our midst.
Each month we set aside a budget to buy certain things for Will. These are the smaller things like clothes and blankets. Our bigger things are obviously budgeted another way. I figure that we have enough clothes for now. We have no idea how big he will be so I don't want to buy too much too soon so I can make sure we are matching the correct season to size. So, this month I bought my favorite, favorite blankets. Kenzie has a few sets of these but they are all pink so we figured Will needed his own style. They are so soft and light. There are actually even softer, lighter bamboo ones. Kenzie has a set of those too that were a gift and were what initially turned me on to this brand, but they are more expensive and harder to find so we are sticking with the muslin ones. I LOVE these. They are so versatile. They can be used as swaddles, on a floor if you are in a place you don't want your baby directly on the floor of (like maybe a hotel room), as a nursing cover (and that is so great in Florida where it is so hot and most real nursing covers are thicker and make baby too hot... that is all reliant on your kiddo accepting being covered), to cover a car seat when you take a baby into a place and there are likely to be people that want to touch him or her, whatever. They are just awesome. I highly recommend this brand to any new parents.
Pool days that aren't crowded. As summer break nears to an end, the pool is seemingly more and more crowded each day. Sometimes though we get days where there are just one or two other people in the pool when we are there. I love those days.
