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:
