Feeling like a Mommy

Since we have been home from Louisiana, I have been trying to get Avery to sleep in her bassinet. She was getting way to spoiled sleeping in bed with us, or swinging in her swing. Needless to stay she is not enjoying it very much. I try to get her good and asleep then lay her in her bassinet, but if anything wakes her up she starts screaming. So we have both been losing sleep. This was us Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday it finally warmed up a little bit! We had NO food in the house, and I am sick of fast food. So I made a long grocery list and decided Avery and I would get out of the house to go shopping. I was so nervous about taking her out. When we brought her to a restaurant this weekend, she pitched a fit. After her morning nap, I fed her and loaded her up in the car. I decided to carry her in the baby bjorn (the backpack carrier) with her in the front against my chest. I figured she would be happier up against me and swaying with me while I walked. I was right, my sweet girl slept the WHOLE time I grocery shopped. I was so proud of her. I wanted to take a picture but totally forgot!
Here are some pictures when we got home, she was wide awake!

Last night I was making some chicken stir fry, and Avery started fussing. Josh was at the gym. So I put the carrier back on, put her in it and somehow positioned her where she could eat while I was working in the kitchen. I am definitely feeling like a multitasking mom these days! We had a nice evening, Avery was being a sweet girl. Here are some pictures before bedtime. I brought these pajamas to the hospital when she was born, and they were HUGE on her. They fit her perfectly now, my baby girl is getting so big!

I loved my slings and carriers for that purpose. I can still nurse Beau while we walk or shop through the mall; privately too! haha
