Day Seven & Eight

Yay! The last two days are done. Aria was surprisingly grouchy these two days and I'm pretty sure she's getting sick of me. We need to mix some Daddy in there desperately.

Yesterday was fun because we had a neighborhood street Happy Hour. This is always nice because Aria plays real hard and then goes to bed easily. It's just out front so I get some adult interaction with the monitor right there if she needs me (which she hardly does). Today we did the mall playground circuit - we hit the first mall early and then met up with Austin at the 2nd mall. That was fun because she was totally entertained with little help from me and it was climate controlled!

Happy Aria!

She had fallen asleep in the car, so when we got home she woke up too much to take a nap (she tried for an hour). This like never happens! So later in the afternoon we went to a grocery store and she slept through the entire thing - even going from the car seat to stroller and back. This evening was nice...Austin's parents invited us over for dinner and the kids had so much fun. They were REALLY interacting for pretty much the first time. It was the cutest thing...of course it's the one time I forget my camera. They got a couple shots, so I will have to get those from them.

Goofydaddy should be showing up in the middle of the night tonight. I'm so excited. I made it through the week. I knew I could do it, but I was just nervous about doing it all alone for so long. It made it much more manageable with all the help from my neighbors. You guys are the best!!!

I'm glad I have the week documented with the blog for Goofydaddy because I can barely remember yesterday! He has so many of her new things to catch-up on. I can't wait to hear his opinion of how much she's changed. And I can't wait to get the details of his travels.

Over and out!
