Happy baby, not so happy baby, and bottle envy

Its hot. And muggy. But MR is all smiles. Thank God for this sweet and happy little girl! 

The hot weather kept us indoors for most of the day. Our only outing was a not so quick trip to the grocery store. Not so quick, meaning we spent at least 30 minutes in the Kroger deli eating free samples of cheese and picking off pieces of a not yet purchased rotisserie chicken in order to bribe a hungry and fussy eight month old.

The whole experience brought me back to a shopping trip during the latter stages of my pregnancy. I was at the very same Kroger when my hunger got the best of me. Noticing a display of beach chairs for sale in a side isle, I parked my buggy and began eating my way through the groceries. I opened up a bag of chips, ate a banana, and munched on a box of Cracker Jacks. All while watching busy shoppers zoom by me in a beach chair that I swore would break at any minute…

Our Kroger experience was not the only highlight of the day. Later in the afternoon, we got a visit from Hendley. The girls had a great time playing in the backyard, but refused to cooperate with the traditional cousin photo session. Here are the best of the best of Hendley (15 months) and Mary Reese (8 months).

Hendley could not understand why MR got a bottle and she did not. She would shake her head and say “no, no” and then reach down to get the bottle. As you can see, MR was totally oblivious to the altercation.

    That new MR smile is funny. She is, hands down, the happiest baby on the block, in this town, in this state, AND in the whole country. Maybe even the world.

    I was expecting you to tell the story about when you were at Sam’s and were too pregnant too push the buggy anymore so you had to call G to come save the day.

    Thanks for keeping Hendly. Y’all must have worn her out. She was asleep at 7:15 tonight.

    Come swim tomorrow.

    Hi Harvey family! I am totally on for your challenge, although I usually am not in front of a computer on Fri, so I will do it Thu night. This girl can find a bargain!

    It’s Oscar Blandi shampoo. They were almost sold out of it when I went to go investigate it, so I snatched it up…so stupid of me. Don’t waste your money. although the more I brush it today, the better the color returns to normal. But I am still streaked..I’m a mess.

    I miss you guys!
