Yesterday was a busy day at our house! I hosted a play date for several moms (7 total) and 13 kids. The fun started at 10 am and by 2:00 we were toast! Even Lauren dropped and had to have a nap. I tried to take one too but wasn't so lucky to have one with phone calls coming in, etc. Plus I never can rest when I have a list of 100 things I need to do when the kids are both asleep which doesn't happen often! I unfortunately have no pictures of the kids having fun with water guns, the outdoor art easel, their craft projects (sun visors) or the bounce house. I was just too busy running after everyone to take pics! Thanks to all the moms that came, it was a great time! I was very proud of Lauren for her behavior at the playdate. It's hard to share all your toys with that many kids but she did great and did not have one melt down! That's a lot of improvement from a year ago. I say it too often but she's really growing up!
Last night was just miserable. I was dead tired from our full day and ready for a full nights sleep. Blake had other ideas though so we were up three times last night and each time was 45 minutes or longer to get him down. I have no idea what is wrong. He acts fine in the day and does not appear to be sick at all. I'm just hoping tonight is better. It's much easier to adjust to frequent wakings when they do it each night than just once in a blue moon! I should not complain though, this doesn't happen often, just always at bad times it seems!
This week we've been playing with Blake self feeding. He started fighting me on feeding him baby food so I decided to try out the real stuff. We'll needless to say he likes it! In fact he likes everything I put in front of him and can't shovel it in fast enough! I think I've broken some of the first table food rules (because I frankly can't remember them) but that's okay. It's just so cute to watch him eat with his hand flat against his face. He's getting better at his pincer grip too so it won't be long before the meals will get neater. Needless to say, smashed avocado is very messy to clean up!
Blake is getting closer to crawling. He's definitely lunging forward now and for the first time today got on all fours. I better get in gear and get some baby gates purchased soon! I also can definitely say he's babbling now. I still can't quite decipher if its ba-ba or da-da but its jibberish to say the least!
Lauren absolutely loves to dance! I think I need to give up on gymnastics and let her try dance instead. Last night there was a special on TV where there were lots of singers. She loves to get up on the hearth and sing along with them. It's just too funny! I attempted to tape it but of course she wouldn't cooperate.
Tomorrow Grandma and Grandpa Wolter leave on their 40th anniversary trip, an Alaskan cruise. They are super excited and we are for them as well. They were out to our house tonight for supper and Lauren just can't stand to tell them good bye. She told me when I was reading to her tonight and we were talking about her day that it makes her sad to tell them good bye so that's why she doesn't. That's pretty precious if you ask me.
