Family walks, family playtime, and family lunch dates

Rick's work schedule is finally going back to normal on Monday, thank goodness. That means all of us will get back to our normal routines. It was nice having him home during the day though. We got to go on family walks, have playtime outside -weather permitting- and had a few family lunch dates. 

Lunch Dates...and kisses for Daddy

It is so much fun introducing new foods to Stella. I am always curious as to her reaction and whether she is going to like it or not. New food on Stella's menu this week...organic beets...BEWARE: they stain!

We also switched Stella's car seat out for her big girl seat. She is much more cozy and she looks so big in it.. another one of those bittersweet moments. I can't believe the infant seat is being put away...

We added a few new items to Stella's closet...

It is finally time for flip flops...woop woop! I was beginning to feel like these puppies were never going to see the outdoors again...

We hope you are having an ele-phantastic weekend!

Looking forward to Stella and I giving our weekly activity schedule a whirl this week!
