Play Dates



We have been busy having play dates lately. First, we went to my girlfriend, Stephanie's house and enjoyed spending time with her and Suzie. Suzie is about 6 weeks younger then Michael. She's about as tall as Michael, but skinny. They get along so well and they're pretty good about sharing (even their sippy cups).



Later that day we went to my cousin's house, William for his birthday party. Michael got to play with his friend Belle while we all visited. He saw that she was crawling so he had to try and impress her by crawling a little faster even though he's walking and running all over the place now. We took pictures of the two, but I don't have any of them to share. 8-( All in all Michael enjoyed playing with his two friends that day.

This past week Matt and I had his co-worker Josh and his wife Tracie over for dinner. They brought their little girl Madison whose 6 days older then Michael. We took our birthing classes together over at North Florida and had a blast. Anyway, the kids made eyes at each other at the dinner table and both thought it was fun to throw a little food on the floor (thank goodness for our dog, Scooter). After that we let them play and run around.





After they played we decided to give them a bath so that if Madison falls asleep on the way home they could just put her right to bed. Michael’s never had any bath buddies so it was a special treat to have someone to splash around with instead of just his toys.




After their bath it was so cute seeing the two bundled up in their towels so I had to get Josh to a picture of Tracie and I holding them.



Just before they left I had Matt hold the two because he needed to get use to holding a boy and girl (though the clearly won’t be the same size).



By the end of the evening Michael was worn out and ready for bed. He loved his very own chair and gets all comfortable in it. We had so much fun with all our dates and look forward to the future ones to come.

My First Entry

Ok so here I go.... I'm not a good writer, but I've decided after reading some of my friend's blogs that I would like people to know what's going on in my life. Today marks 25 weeks in my pregnancy. It seems like yesterday I found out I was pregnant and now 25 weeks later I'm trying to catch my breath. The past 2 nights Matt has rocked Michael to sleep because I feel like I'm smothering Madelyn when Michael wants to sprawl out on top of me in the rocking chair. When I tell Michael about his sister he thinks it's funny to hit my belly and he'll occasionally say "baby".


Today is my half day at work but I'm dreading going to the dentist at 2pm. YUCK!!! I love my hygienist, but don't much care for the noise and the awful feeling of that gritty peppermint taste in my mouth.


Have a great day!!!
