Weekend (and last week) Roundup

Sorry I've been a bad blogger lately, but after B goes to sleep I'm just too tired to do anything. Here's a quick roundup of last week:

On Tuesday we stayed in since I wanted B to nap early because she had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Warren. Unfortunately it was rescheduled so we just hung out at home. B went to Marme's to visit then Gumbo picked her up for dinner at Jama, Pa, and Taddy's house. Attie and I hosted our second MommyMixer event at ah-ha. It was very successful and we had a great time mingling with the moms.

On Wednesday we met Krista & Jess and their little ones at the Zoo. It was a gorgeous day and the kids had a great time.

On Thursday Peter and I brought B to her rescheduled appointment with Dr. Warren. Betsy is going to have to have a second surgery. We were disappointed, but I just knew something wasn't right. She had a scanogram and her legs are uneven in length. We were given two options for her surgery. We are choosing to have a procedure where a metal plate will be implanted in her leg. The plate will need to be removed in about two years. After the surgery she will be in a plaster cast for a couple of months. Luckily she will be able to walk with the cast on. We are going to schedule the surgery to take place when Sadie is about a month old. I want to make sure Betsy is out of the cast before school starts in September. Betsy did so well after her first surgery so we know she'll do fine. It was just kind of hard to hear that our little girl would have to undergo surgery again. After her appointment we took her to get ice cream at Creole Creamery. We were all exhausted when we got home.

On Friday morning we picked up Attie and Lawson and brought them to Lawson's appointment at Tommy's office. B and I had breakfast across the street at PJ's. In the afternoon we headed to Vacherie for Grandma Agnes' 80th birthday party. Happy Birthday, Grandma!!! B had such a good time with everyone--especially her cousin Charlie.

On Saturday we went to Baton Rouge for Patrick's Baptism. B was a handful at Mass. Luckily, Aunt Maggie entertained her outside for most of the Mass. After the Baptism we went to Bridget & Brian's for a party. B played with Charlie and ate tons of boiled shrimp.

Yesterday I spent the day with Mom and the girls for Mom's belated birthday celebration. We had lunch and did some shopping. I got B some coloring books for the hospital when she comes to visit her baby sister. B is really into coloring books these days. P and B went to Vacherie to celebrate Mary Beth's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mary Beth!!! When they got home Gumbo and Bee picked up B and took her to get a snowball and visit Lawson. Last night my little girl was completely pooped.

This morning we went to Music class then played outside at the Parenting Center. B was not happy when it was time to leave. This afternoon we went to visit Attie and Lawson. We just got home and I'm about to start making dinner.

New tricks:

--Last week B was playing with her Little People and she calls one of them Gumbo and one of them Lawsy and Gumbo gave Lawsy a kiss. She now calls all of the baby Little People "Lawsy." When we went back upstairs the other day she said, "bye, Lawsys."

--Last week B was in her highchair eating a cookie and she looked at her cookie, smiled, then said , "I love you, cookie."

--B pointed to the blanket in the living room and said, "Daddy's blankie" then pointed at my shoes and said, "Mommy's shoes" then pointed at the diaper bag that I always give Gumbo when he takes B and said "Gumbo's purse."
