We enjoyed our weekend with Betsy. It will be one of our last weekends as a family of three. We're all getting excited about Sadie coming. Yesterday Betsy was sitting in my lap and pointing at my belly saying "Sadie." Then she looked at me and said "opp, Mommy." (Opp means open). I guess Betsy is ready to meet her sister. B points out Sadie in her ultrasound picture that is on the fridge. She has started to alternate between calling Sadie "Sissy" and "Sadie."
On Thursday afternoon we met playgroup at the Children's Museum. B had so much fun; we hadn't been there in a while. There's a new Goodnight Moon section in the toddler area that B really loved.
On Friday we picked up Attie and Lawson and went to Lakeside--Lawson's first trip to the mall! Lawson was so good, but Betsy was very fussy until she got a sugar cookie. I told her right when she woke up that we were going to the mall and that I would get her a cookie. I thought we could make it to one store before getting her a cookie. After she got her cookie she was in a great mood. In the afternoon Gumbo and Bee came to visit. Bee taught Betsy how to say "voila" and do a little hand movement. She said it all weekend. On Friday night Marme babysat B while Peter and I went to dinner at Tony Angello's--I hadn't been there in seriously about 15 years. It was good and it was nice to go out with Peter; it had been a while since the two of us went on a date.
On Saturday it was overcast and nasty outside. We hung out at home in the playroom for most of the day. I went to V to the Tenth with Marme, Attie, and Katie. It was entertaining and nice to hang out them!
On Sunday morning B and I met Gumbo, Bee, Lizzie, Attie, Lawson, Katie, and Peter at Audubon Golf Club for breakfast. In the afternoon we went to a post-Christening party for Jessica's son, Travis. B played in the mini spacewalk and ate a bunch of yummy macaroni and cheese. We went to Houston's after and I thought B wouldn't be hungry, but she ate tons of food. She went crazy for the spinach dip and tried ketchup for the first time--she loved it. B also ordered ice cream for dessert when the waiter asked us if we wanted dessert. When we got home the whole family watched "Cinderella." I hadn't seen it since I was little. B loved it and calls it "mouse movie" and "princess movie."
This morning Attie and Lawson stopped by then B and I went to Music. She got to play with Georgia and Josie and they played really hard. Attie and Lawson came over again this afternoon and Attie and I worked on getting everything together for our MommyMixer tomorrow night. I watched Lawson for about an hour while Attie went to Kinko's. It was easy--Lawson was an angel and slept on me the whole time while B played quietly on the floor. When Lawson woke up B was very interested in her and kept wanting to touch her and talk to her and talk about her. They are quickly becoming buddies. I can't believe Baby Lawson will be 4 weeks old tomorrow! Attie brought B a muffin from PJ's and as she ate it she said "I love muffin."
New tricks:
--I'll ask B, "who wants _____ (milk, lunch, to read a book, etc.)?" and she'll say, "MeMeMeMeMe!!!" As a test I asked her "who wants to take a nap?" and she said,, "me....." then stopped and made a pouty face.
--B is into pointing out things in the house and who they belong to. She'll say things like "Mommy's shoes, Daddy's hat, Betsy's pants, etc."
--When B "reads books" she says the words she knows. She'll say things like "pink, baby, bear, milk, car" as she turns the pages of the book she's looking at.
Here are a few pics of B from today when she put one of her socks on her hands and of B and Lawson:
