Wedding Weekend

WEDDING WEEKEND - Well, I can officially say that I survived a day and a half away from baby Sophie, but I won't lie -- it was very difficult! Even though it was hard, I know it was good for all of us and I can't thank my parents and my brother enough for being the trusted babysitters while we were away. Our friends Jenna & Ian were married on Saturday, and as a bridesmaid I had wedding duties both Friday and for the day Saturday. The wedding was beautiful and we are very happy for them both! It was also nice for Kris and I have to have some adult time again and get out on the dance floor (which neither one of us had done in a long time) and visit with our firends! But, in the back of my head, I kept picturing little Sophie and couldn't wait to come home to her both nights. When we got home on Friday night, she definitely let us know how angry she was at us for leaving her for the first time. After a brief tantrum she calmed down, and Saturday night she was fine, so that was a relief.

She is now 5 weeks old and continues to grow like a weed. Kris and I laugh because she has a knack for knowing right when we're about to sit down to eat dinner. No matter how calm she is or whether or not she just ate, she decides to fuss just as we want some time to enjoy our meal. We figured out that she just likes to be a part of things, so we've taken to trying to prop her up in between us if we're eating in the family room. This works sometimes for hanging out on the couch too. She just doesn't want to miss out on any of the action!

We hope you're all enjoying your week and, if I don't get a chance to blog in the next few days, have a nice, long Holiday weekend! I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures to share from our holiday adventures. Check back soon!
