The Rest of Your 4th Week

Wednesday

The day after mommy's birthday we went over to my parent's house to celebrate my birthday. We had the whole family there and it was your first time that Uncle Chris got to see you. Great Grandma Casey was very anxious to hold you and it was sweet because she ate her food so fast just so she could be the first one done with dinner. I am convinced this was so that she could hold you for the rest of the evening. The two of you snuggled together.

We did have a little mishap on the way home, my car wouldn't start. We tried for over 30 minutes to get it to work and to no avail. We had you in the carseat and you cried the whole entire time. It was very stressful. Grandpa let us borrow the suburban to drive you home for the night.

Thursday

On Thursday I braved the restaurant scene for the first time as just you and me. We didn't have dad come along to help. We met up with my friend Annie from work for a late breakfast. She brought her kids and we visited. You were your usual sweet self and slept pretty much the whole time.

Dad showed me this book the other day when we went to the book store. It's called 'Raising le Bebe' and it is a french book. I have been reading it to get tips for helping with you. I read the chapter on sleep and tried out some of the techniques in the book. You slept for the first time for 3 hours at a time over the night. It was nice to have the little extra sleep. I am hoping this is a trend that will continue!

The rest of the week was pretty low key with you. We didn't go out or do much with you. We stayed at home and just loved up on you. It did snow a little bit on Monday the 27th of February in the morning. I have been hoping for this since I have been on maternity leave. I opened the windows and watched the snow fall lightly as I snuggled with you. It was a short snow, but at least it is better than nothing.
