The Farrell Family: May 2009

Hey baby girl,

We had quite a busy week! Wednesday night, the three of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings to meet some teacher friends for the Astros game. The girls gooed and gahed over you the whole time. I was so glad you got to meet Crystal and Eric, because they were planning to babysit you this Friday night.

You really bonded with your Aunt Crystal.

And you seemed to make a good impression on Aunt Alex too!

And Aunt Christine never wanted to put you down!!

You had a blast! You even got to gnaw on some celery, just like the Wonder Pets!!

Oh, and you've got two bruises on your face!! One on each cheek! Now that you're pulling up on anything and everything, you fall just as easily! The other day, daddy and I heard when you fell in your playpen onto your music vanity...it was a hard hit, and it probably contributed to one of your bruises. Poor baby...everyone says its just the beginning too!

Friday night, Crystal and Christine (both teachers from Arnold) came to babysit you so Mommy and Daddy could have a date night. Eric had a late flight (he's a pilot), and he was sooo disappointed he missed the poo poo diapers! But Aunt Crystal and Aunt Christine took charge and had a great time babysitting you. You were soooo good for them too (great job, by the way...our plan is working!!), and you made a great impression. Ha ha.

Mommy and Daddy had dinner and saw a movie (17 Again, it was sooooo very funny!). It was a great night, and it was probably the latest we've stayed out in a looong time.

Another thing you do right now, besides the clapping and shaking your head NO, is putting your hands above your head. Not sure what you're doing there. Dancing? You love to dance with Elmo, so maybe that's just a new dance move!

Today, when we all woke up, your second tooth has broken the surface of your gums!! It looks sooo cool. Later that day, we all three went to my school's teacher crawfish boil. I was so impressed by the spicy crawfish and cajun setup, and it was nice to meet some new friends. When we left there, we shopped for a new car seat for our little big girl. After much shopping and travelling, we FINALLY found one we liked. I think you're going to love it too. After Daddy installs it tomorrow, we'll have to take some pics of you in it. Sooo cool.
