Weekend O' Fun

On Saturday we went to the Mid City Art Market with Aunt Attie & Uncle Beau then Attie and I took Betsy to the Zoo. Betsy loved the flamingos. Saturday night Katie C. made a delicious dinner--Betsy's first dinner party! Yesterday Betsy tried rice cereal and she really liked it and kept grabbing our arms to give her more and she opened her mouth wider than I've ever seen her open it! After breakfast we walked to get coffee. It was a gorgeous day. Today was beautiful too. Betsy and I spent a couple of hours at the Park--walking and checking out the ducks. This afternoon Betsy had her first pedicure--not really! I had a pedicure and Betsy went with me and sat in my lap and laughed and smiled and charmed everyone in the place!

Happy Birthday, Papa Vic!

We just returned from a delicious dinner at Bee's house to celebrate Papa Vic's birthday. We had a great time!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Betsy was quite the trooper during the Mardi Gras weekend. We went to parades Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night, Sunday, Monday night, and this morning. She danced to the bands and when she wasn't smiling or sticking out her tongue she was fast asleep in her Daddy's arms.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a lovely morning with Daddy then off to Gym Rompers and to Krista's house. Betsy wishes everyone a wonderful Valentine's Day!


This is how Betsy greeted me when she woke up yesterday.


Here's Betsy sitting up in her stroller--we no longer have to use the infant carrier in it.

Sunday

Yesterday we went to breakfast with Jama, Pa, Bee, Taddy, Diane, Craig, Aunt Attie & Uncle Beau, and Aunt Katie & Uncle Peter. It was great to see everyone. Later we went to see two parades with the aunties and uncles and met up with B's pal Lucy. Betsy loved the bands and the floats, but unfortunately wanted to eat the beads. It was so nice to be outside on such a pretty day. Some pics:

Sick, Sick, Sick

I was sick all week. I didn't realize how hard it would be to take care of Betsy while feeling so awful. Luckily Peter was able to stay home from work some, Marme spent Thursday morning with us, and Aunt Attie and Uncle Beau took Betsy on adventures yesterday afternoon. I had no voice and couldn't nurse Betsy since I had to take pain meds and as a result my lil B has not been sleeping and has been really fussy. Today I got my voice back and I feel better. Since I had major cabin fever Peter, B, and I walked to Napoleon to watch some of the parades. It was nice to get out, but after I got home I was exhausted. Betsy and her Daddy have been napping for over 2 hours. I hope things are getting back to normal and she'll get back to sleeping through the night. It has been rough! Here are some pics from the week:

Mardi Gras is Coming! Yay!

Here's a rundown of the rest of Betsy's week. On Tuesday we went to Snuggles & Struggles. On Wednesday we started Gym Rompers and since the kids were much bigger than little B we're going to try the Metairie class next week. All of the kids were crawling or walking so we need a class that has more tiny kids. On Thursday we had playgroup at Caroline's. Thursday night Mom, Attie, and Katie came over for a pizza party and Betsy loved all of the attention. On Friday Betsy went with me to the dr. and was very, very good. Afterwards we met up with Krista, Lauren, and Miss Sandy for coffee and a crazy dress sale at a hotel in Kenner--an hour wait to get in, but there were some nice dresses. I bought Betsy a Saints dress for next season. We went to Lakeside and Krista picked out everything for Lauren's new room since the new baby will move into Lauren's room. We went to Philip's sixth birthday party yesterday. There were ponies and a petting zoo with goats and pigs and sheep--Betsy loved staring at them. Last night Papa Vic and Bee watched Betsy while P and I went to Krewe du Vieux. I'm really excited about Mardi Gras, especially since last year I was on bedrest and only went to one parade. I have Betsy's costume ready, but it'll have to be pretty chilly for her to be able to wear it.

We've got to go get ready because we're going to brunch with Momma Lady and Grandpa.
