A Weekend In Pictures


Well, a partial weekend.  I was more social this weekend than I have been in months.  We headed to a benefit at the Botanical Gardens Friday night.  It felt weird but nice to haul out my boots and woolly scarf.

Dell Harper has been very busy playing with her new remote control from Granddaddy.  I have had a rocking tune of "I got a remote, and I'm ready to roll, making things happen, cause I'm in control!" stuck in my head since Friday.  The nanny and I agreed that it is what Miss Priss could sing if she could.

Speaking of ready to roll, this was a big weekend for Miss Priss.

 She went from lots of push-ups, down ward dogs and planks, to forward motion!


Now, her crawling in not pretty.  And much to my dismay, she will not crawl for an audience.  But she is on the move!  Another big step?  Pulling up- I walked into her room to find her holding on the the side of her crib, proudly peeping over at me. A frantic search for the doohickey to unscrew the things to lower the crib then ensued.  Oh, and then I got teary eyed at her super low crib mattress, because she is growing so fast.  Law, what in the world have I become?  We lowered it to the bottom setting, so I will never have to go through that hell of trying to lower the crib, bleary-eyed from the 30th birthday party we attended the night before, with a grumpy husband, and a baby who is crawling into any trouble she can find.   So our babysitter is considerably richer than she was Friday morning, but we had a well-deserved social weekend.  A friend asked us how often we get babysitters- it's probably about every other weekend.  Is that average?  Some months it is more frequent, and some weekends I just hibernate!  What about y'all?

  4. Go Dell Harper, go! Evan keeps trying to heckle Leighton into crawling and I'm consistently in the other room hollering for him to stop -- I'm not ready for a mobile baby!

    We have yet to find a babysitter. My parents sit for us whenever they're in town or when we're in austin. My in laws were good about babysitting when she was itsy and didn't have a set bedtime, but now they don't volunteer because she's asleep the entire time we're gone (she will only nurse before bed, so it's kind of up to me to put her to bed and THEN we can go out). I'm jealous of y'all's social life!

  5. Once the forward motion starts she will be into everything! We have the same remote, and I have the same songs stuck in my head all day long. "Press the button sing along.......Changing channels is such fun!"
