Yesterday was Mommy's birthday. She doesn't really like to make a big to-do about her own birthday (loves celebrating others' though), so we just celebrated in a low-key way. First, Daddy surprised Mommy by leaving for work but coming back very quickly after with a cake! Then, Ms. Sara, Mr. Lance, and Ms. Delaina came over during lunch to catch up on stuff. Ms. Sara and Mr. Lance are having a little girl in July so I'll have another friend to play with soon. In the afternoon, we took a family walk together -- my first in my stroller, actually! -- and enjoyed a good meal at home.

That night, I gave Mommy my gift ... sleep! She put me down in my bassinet at 11, and I started fussing (as usual). But, when she put her hand on my chest and told me I'm a good girl, I immediately fell asleep and stayed that way for the next 3 hours. Of course, Mommy didn't go to sleep right away because she was so freaked out and had to check on me a couple of times, but then she decided to take it as the gift it was an enjoy it!
Today, Mommy and I went with Auntie Diana and Jacob to the Arboretum. The weather was beautiful, and I had fun lying around with Jacob. Mommy kept covering me with a hat though, so I wouldn't get too much sun. We want to make the Arboretum outing an annual thing ... and next year Mommy and Auntie Diana won't have to worry about bottles!
Me and Jacob. Ew, boys are gross!
I starting to wave my arms around with purpose, and I pack a mean punch. Be careful, Laila Ali, I'm coming after you! I'm also starting to hold onto things when you hold me, so you may watch to take care of your hair, shirts, earrings, necklaces, or anything that I might take with me!
