Goodbye. #burritobeat2015 Days 68 & 69

Hello Warm Weather.

Hello Pavement.

Hello Evening Walks.

Goodbye Fat.

The End.

Greetings, Groupies, and Groceries - Oh My! #burritobeat2015 Days 65,66,&67

DAY 65 - Greetings

Dancing Queen's mystery man flew in from New Jersey to meet the family. Prince Charming hails from a much more urban area of this fabulous country and he was slightly shell shocked at the lack of skyscrapers and noise pollution. I sure do love the Midwest! 

Day 66 - Groupies

Give me a beer and some live country music and my Saturday night is made. Yee Haw! I became a quick fan of up and comer Drew Baldridge not only because his voice is reminiscent of Josh Turner but also because he takes the time to pose for a photo op with a Mexican wearing flannel and cowboy boots. 

DAY 67 - Groceries

I remembered why I never go grocery shopping on weekends. My patience was truly tested in the frozen food aisle today. Don't mess with a woman on a mission for frozen cauliflower.  Shit gets real when you question my intelligence regarding the difference between it and broccoli. Seriously,  WalMart?

Lunch Date #burritobeat2015 Day 64

This pretty little lady made my lunch break much more giggly and sunshiney today. 

Thanks for the apple slice smiles, CareBear and Pebbles!

Text message conversation with the babysitter......

Followed by.......

It really is evil. She's not kidding. 

Lord please help us.

Bite the Bullet #burritobeat2015 Day 62

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend!

It's no hidden secret that I'm pretty tight with finances. I blame this on my bloodline. Brown Town Represent!

Have you seen the prices of baby food these days? I'm thinking it could very well be possible that there is a 100% markup on a 2.5oz jar of bananas.  I refuse to give in to the man.

This means several evenings are spent in the company of my BFF - the baby bullet. Is it worth it? Ask my bank account.

Live, Love, Laugh #burritobeat2015 Days 58, 59, & 60

Three days in a row of Mommy/Burrito quality time.

This girl.......

When our time together wasn't consumed with slinging back glasses of wine, pillow fights, and laughing the day away...........

Mom did 7 loads of laundry, dusted bedrooms, sorted closets, got crafty thanks to Pinterest, and finished a good book.

Bobbie Burrito took a nap and then rested up for another nap. 

Must be rough.

8 Months and Counting! #burritobeat2015 Day 57

And for comparative purposes, here's a little #tbt

#burritobeat2015 Days 55 & 56

Look out world! 

We spent the last two days at the DMV licensing another driver in the house. Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing some issues with road rage. Bobbie Burrito inherited the angry driver gene from her not-so-calm father and refuses to let off the horn once she gets behind the wheel. Her puppy brothers are also less than amused with her lack of turn signal usage as they have felt the trauma of a few fender benders. State Farm call center is going to stay busy with this child on the road! 

Sidenote: Moments like this make me realize in 15 short years we really will have to fear for the safety of all other drivers as Bobbie Burrito will legally be in the driver seat. Let's hope she experiences a vertical growth spurt by then or we will also be investing in pedal extensions.

#burritobeat2015 Day 54

Hey Mommy friends - any teething tips?

I'm dying over here!

Bobbie Burrito and I may have had a combined total of 4.5 hours of sleep over the past three nights. People keep telling me a little whiskey will help so I plan on doing a couple shots before bedtime tonight.

A Photographic Timeline of the Weekend

#burritobeat2015 Day 51

Quiz:

How many grandparents does it take to strap a baby in a high chair?

Answer:

2 (on a good day)

Daisy Duke and Grand Puba have mastered the art of team parenting raising 5 of their own and continue to showcase those skills for their grandchildren. 

#burritobeat2015 Day 50

What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of my teeth chattering. 

#burritobeat2015 Day 49

Woman Crush Wednesday! 

Shoutout to all these tias! What fabulous role models for our little Bobbie Burrito......keep it classy ladies!

#burritobeat2015 Day 48

20 by 29.......

My new motto when I go for that dessert at the work potluck or try to raid the pantry at 3 am when Bobbie Burrito thinks it's a completely appropriate time to be awake. My goal is a 20 lb weight loss by the time I turn 29 on May 9th. Totally reasonable but not without effort and motivation. 20 by 29. The countdown is on.

#burritobeat2015 Day 47

Love is a four legged word.

Every child needs a dog and every dog needs a child. There is an unspoken bond between Bobbie Burrito and her puppy brothers. They support, protect, and entertain one another. Watching them interact melts my puppy lovin' heart. I will never have to fear that my daughter will never experience limitless love because I know she already has.   

#burritobeat2015 Day 46

Time. Please. Slow. Down. 

#burritobeat2015 Days 44 & 45

Sergeant Bob has been blessed with two valentines this year - a smokin' hot wife (not pictured) and this little cutie above. P.S We officially have enough hair for a pony tail! 

 Day 1 of swim lessons started with an outside temperature of 4 degrees and windchill below zero. What was I thinking?! Bobbie Burrito and I bundled up in our winter gear and made the trek to the pool. Minus the awkward singing and ridiculous water version of the hokey pokey, playtime in the pool was a success. Our little fishy giggled her way through 30 minutes of splashing fun. Mom even got an extra workout in trying to put on a swimsuit again. I tried to pull off the sweat as pool water. I don't think the other moms bought it. P.S.S. Pictures of lessons will be shared next week when yours truly is on the other end of the camera. 

#burritobeat2015 Day 43

Dinner date with Mom and Dad! Mealtime was preceded by the decision-making process of purchasing hard wood flooring and walking away from the store with much lighter pockets. We hope you enjoyed dinner out on the town, Bobbie Burrito, because the family will be living off of Ramen noodles indefinitely. Sidenote - who wants to volunteer to help a few novice homeowners with a not so little flooring project? We pay in beer, pizza, and hugs.

#burritobeat2015 Day 42

Don't go getting any ideas........

We were FINALLY able to visit with the newest addition in the family of our padrinos de lazo. Between the proud loving parents, super awesome big brother, and tiny perfection I'm holding above, the amount of adorable in this family is seriously off the charts. Bobbie Burrito is only 7 1/2 months old, but I already can't fathom her ever being this little. Baby Parker may have just been showing off for his guests, but his actions from the day lead me to believe he might actually be one of the world's most perfect babies. Eat, sleep, poop, repeat with a rare peep of a whimper thrown in between. Thank you G family for letting us be a part of your happy little world for an evening. Instead of scheduling play dates for Bobbie Burrito and Parker in the future, I may be calling to set something up for Sergeant Bob and 2 year old Liam. The "best buds" seem to be maturing at the same rate!
