the Sowell life's Friday five... 

1) {New Clothes} I know what you're thinking... she does not need anymore clothes. But, she's currently between size newborn and three months. So, we went out and got some 0-3 month clothes. Daddy took us girls shopping, and we came away with these adorable little outfits.

2) {Sneak Peek} Here is a sneak peek of AC's newborn pictures. I'll have the full recap of her newborn pictures soon. This is the Facebook cover she made for us to use...

3) {Getting Ready For Easter} Easter seems pretty late this year, but we're happy to spend this Easter with our sweet girl. We're letting her wear some of her little Easter outfits, and her Easter basket came in yesterday. Easter basket is from Pottery Barn Kids (and they are having a great sale on them right now).

4) {Favorite Video of the Week} Morning talks with mommy and smiles...

5) {Maroon Friday} We're teaching her early how to say, GO DAWGS!!!

the Sowell life's Friday five... 

1) {Stroll Around The Block} Last Sunday we broke out of the house and strapped our girl in her stroller for a stroll around the block. I've been wanting to get out and walk some, but I'm still not released from the Dr, so I knew I'd better take it kinda easy. Well, the three of us when on a walk around our neighborhood and had a blast. She slept through most of it, but it was good to get some fresh air. Of course, we haven't been back out in it because mommy and baby ended up sneezing like crazy due to all the pollen. So we are going to let that calm down before getting back out there. However, it is good to know she enjoyed her stroll.

2) {Selfie With Mommy} Seriously, she loves to look at herself on the iPhone. So, we snapped another #mommyandmeselfie this week! 

3) {Favorite Picture of the Week} 

4) {Favorite Video of the Week} Daddy/Daughter time...

5) {Keeping It Real} We don't let her sleep with us in the bed, but on occasion we have put her in the bed with us early in the morning while we all kinda wake up. At least one of us is always awake, and she's usually kicking her legs like crazy. Well, last Saturday morning the Mr had to run to work and while he was in the shower, we both fell asleep. He snapped this after he got out of the shower.

1) {Baby Book} 

I've been working on AC's baby book, and I hope to keep it up. It's crazy that I filled out her one month old page yesterday. How is it possible that she's already a month old?! 

Saturday I spent all of her napping time during the day uploading pictures from our phones and camera to shutterfly. I'm going to try to remember to upload pictures every two weeks so I can avoid having a huge session like I had last Saturday.

5) {Keeping It Real} 

This is a glimpse of what nap time looks like when baby, MB and mommy are sleeping. And yes, you can tell our house has become baby land. We've had to move our coffee table to the fireplace to make room from all of AC's gadgets. And I can tell you that we wouldn't have it any other way. =)

I'm back with the #fridayfive after having a few weeks off with the birth of our sweet little girl. I'm still a little busy getting used to our new "schedule" (which seems to change everyday) so today I'm just going to bring you five of my favorite pictures since we've been home.

the Sowell life's Friday five... 

1) {Happy Valentine's Day Y'all!!} We won't be doing much celebrating here today, but plan to have a double date tomorrow with our friends for our VDay celebration. How are y'all celebrating the day?

2) {Doughnuts and Baby Gifts} Had a sweet friend come over Monday afternoon to bring little AC's baby gift. And the best part, she brought me doughnuts!! Thanks again Kaitlyn! 

3) {Taco Ring Recipe} I made a taco ring this week. It's been a few years since I made one, and I had a lot of folks asking for the recipe. So, if y'all want it... here it is...

1 lb ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons water
2 (8 ounce) cans of refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Cook ground beef until beef is no longer pink; drain.

Stir taco seasoning mix, cheese and water in with the beef.

Arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle on a round pizza stone with wide ends overlapping the center and points toward outside.

Scoop meat mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Pull the other end over filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered).

Bake at 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

4) {Crazy Alabama Weather} Yep, we've had another week of crazy weather. We were under Winter Storm Advisory and Warning Tuesday - Thursday. The only thing we saw here at the Sowell house is a dusting of snow Wednesday night. And by lunch Thursday, this was all that was left...

5) {MB Got A Package} The sweet folks at Milk Bone Social sent our little MB a special package this week.

1) {Now We Can Bring Her Home} It's getting closer to time, time to welcome our daughter into the world and bring her home. But before we could do that... we had to get the car seat installed. Thankfully, our fire department will install them for you, and in record time! They have someone there who is trained to install them every shift, and we are so thankful they do! So, this is one last minute thing we can cross off our list!

2) {Super Bowl Appetizer} We wanted to try something new for Super Bowl Sunday, so we looked to Plain Chicken for the perfect appetizer. Y'all have to try this BBQ Chicken Dip! It's pretty awesome! 

3) {Bump Update} So, when I took this picture I wasn't sure if I liked it — so I didn't post it to instagram. But, now that I'm looking back at it... I kind of like that it's different than the others I've taken. 

4) {Crazy Alabama Weather} Our weather is a bit crazy around here — single digits to almost summer temps. And it keeps doing this up and down weather! 

5) {Marsie Belle Love} We love our MB, and who can resist adorable pictures of her? Not me!!
