Today we went to join our good friends, Brennan and Lindsay, for some delicious Memorial Day food and much needed hang out time. It should be noted that the last time we got to hang out just the four of us (not counting the kids) was the week before Cami was born. So I was pretty excited to pack up for the day (or to move in?) all of Cami's "needed" things and head to Kingwood.
The day could not have gone better (well, Cami did cry almost the whole way there, but we'll forget that part)....all FOUR children were down for naps at the same time. Fifteen minutes after we arrived, Cami went down in her pack n play, in a new place, wide awake.....and fell asleep without a sound. I have to brag on her just a bit, because, other than the week we brought her home, she's only slept in the pack n play once, and I rocked her all the way to sleep for that one. She even woke up, rolled around, and went back to sleep....again without a PEEP. And, when I went and got her, she had sat up all on her own!!!! Craziness! But, anyway, I digress. All four children were asleep and we had a full hour of adult hangout time. Amazing. I also have to brag on my friend Lindsay (because I think she deserves it, even though when she reads this she'll probably say "no, I don't"), because she has three girls, one of whom is three months old (and all are adorable and sweet). Her house is tidy and she had a delicious homemade meal AND dessert ready for us when we arrived. I have one child and my house is a wreck and we eat Stoffer's most of the time. She is an amazing mom.
After all the kids woke up, we fed the babies and put on swimsuits and hopped in the pool. I was excited to get Cami in because this was her first time in a real pool. She loves her blow up baby pool, but I didn't know how she would handle being completely in the water. She LOVED it. She smiled as I pulled her around the pool and laughed as I threw her in the air and let her splash down in the water. She put her legs out behind her and kicked like she knew what she was doing. She grinned when she splashed water in her face and kept leaning down to investigate by dipping her chin in. She watched the big girls intently like she would be able to do what they were doing just from seeing it done. It was so fun to see Cami enjoy something I enjoy so much.
Ohhhhh, is someone taking pictures of me? Well, then, let me show my cuteness, because you know I look adorable in this suit/hat combo, right? Did you know my cheek double as floatation devices?
You are too sweet! We LOVED visiting with yall. The girls woke up asking for Cami. And the only reason I was able to get everything cleaned and prepared with because Brennan was home...just sayin'. But thanks for the props.
