Weekend of Firsts...

What a FUN weekend! I had my first slumber party at Gigi and Gramps' house Friday night so Mom and Dad could go out. I think Mom was a little nervous...she said good-bye to me like 20 times and gave me so many kisses before she left me with Gigi. Then, a few hours later she and Dad called to check up on me. Mom says they weren't worried about me; they just missed me! No need to worry though...Gigi and Gramps drove me back home to Mom and Dad Saturday morning!!!

Then on Sunday afternoon I had my first play-date! Mr. Dexter and Ms. Charmaine brought Dominique over. Dominique is 6 months old so just a little older/bigger than me but that didn't stop us from having a great time together! I can't wait until next time :)

October Update...

Wow...we've had a busy few weeks! During the week, Daddy goes to work while Mommy and I hang out at the house. For the past couple weeks Miss Jill has been coming by for a few hours to play with me while mom runs some errands. We have a great time together and I always sleep extra long that night. Dad says it's because I had my weekly "Jill-aerobics" class.

The highlight this month was finally meeting my Great Grandmother, Mamie, last weekend! For those who don't know, Mom and Dad named my middle name, May, after her! I also met my Great Aunt Mary and cousins (Josh, Zach and Adam). Needless to say, it was quite the weekend! I even played putt-putt for the first time! We had such a great time with everyone at GiGi's house but I was exhausted when we got home Sunday afternoon!

Other exciting news...Daddy turned 35 on Wednesdsay! We had a great birthday party/dinner with BabaAnne at one of the local turkish restaurants. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!!!

1 Month!

This past Saturday marked Kayla's 1 month birthday! To celebrate, Kayla and I went to lunch with Gigi and Gramps at Willie's before making our first trip to Target. Let's just say we had quite the experience! After about 15 minutes Kayla decided that she was hungry so Gigi and I made our way down to the baby section to pick up some formula and water (we are currently supplementing her feedings with some formula a couple times a day). Then we mixed her bottle and fed her as we walked around the store. An hour later (yes, we browsed all the aisles) I was exhausted so we checked out and headed back to Gigi's house. Evidently Kayla was tired too because she fell asleep about 2 minutes after we got in the car!

Shortly thereafter, it was time for Kayla and I to make our way to Rice for the Rice/Tulsa game. Daddy met us in the parking lot to help get her in the stroller then walked us over to the tailgate so she could meet everyone. We stayed for about 30 minutes before it was time for us to head home and watch the game on tv (the combination of the flu season and the rain coming down isn't exactly the best thing for a 1 month old). Unfortunately, Rice lost so we're hoping that Kayla's pink/brown owl outfit will be better luck next weekend!!

It's hard to believe that it's already been a month since Kayla's arrival. Looking back, it feels as though it's been a few really long days with some naps along the way. Lately though, Kayla has decided to sleep anywhere from 5 to 7 hours during the night which has been a blessing to Mommy and Daddy! While we have enjoyed the extra sleep, I have to admit that I still wake up every couple hours and lean over to look in her cradle just to make sure she is OK! Speaking of sleeping, that's what she is doing now so it's best that I do the same!

In closing, I'll leave you with a picture from her bath earlier tonight. Thankfully, she loves bath time!!!
