The three of us enjoyed having the whole family here and together for a week. In addition to spending time relaxing together, Grandma Marcia and Papa Pete watched Miranda and Alice for an evening while the five "kids" got out of the house for a rare dinner on the town - fun! Vicky, Brandon and Papa Pete even managed to get a Duck Tour in.
The rest are here. Enjoy!
The gifts continued as Alice then took a nap!
She then woke up, blew a couple of kisses and then dropped a major A-bomb.
We still haven't been able to get Grandma up on the yoga ball, but Alice also likes playing on the floor and Grandma was down for that.
Once Alice is sleeping though, she will happily be held by anyone, bouncing or not!
Everyone had a nice time though and Alice even perked up a bit for some vibrating-chair-giggles to end the morning.
After breakfast, the Baptistes headed home and the Petersons headed to Target for a quick loop. Now we are home, the rain is coming in and we are getting to our Sunday chores... laundry, house cleaning and ironing!
Ahhh... something has caught her eye! Probably a great sale!
Alice was not too happy to see us go, but Grammie said she was very well behaved for the rest of the afternoon.
Our first date as parents involved a quick lunch in Davis square (even with drinks!) and then we went to see 'The Hangover'. The movie was great and we were able to get home at 5:00pm
After we got home, we still had a bottle left over, so Scott got to feed Alice for the first time! The funniest thing about her eating the bottles is that she downs them soooo fast! I'm working on a video to highlight this fact so stayed tuned!
As you can see from the picture here, Alice LOVED every minute of it!
Basically just a quick rinse and wash of the hair. I'm actually surprised that the neighbors didn't come check on us given the amount of screaming!
Even after she was dried off... still the happiest baby ever! Here she is exclaiming how great and refreshing the bath was!
The best part was that after all the crying, she was very sleepy. She has been sleeping now for an hour! Just enough time for Lisa to take a shower and have dinner!
The total distance to the courthouse is about a mile, but we didn't want to walk there and back, especially if she was crying! She was fussing at first, but eventually fell asleep as we were waiting for the bus.
Once the bus arrived, we piled in and the ride was smooth. Unfortunately, there was a mistake on the birth certificate when we got there. It listed Scott's place of birth as Las Cruces, MN rather than Las Cruces, NM. An honest little typo I suppose, but now we have to wait at least a week as it gets corrected, so we will be busing again in the near future!
We ended up walking home, as it was a nice afternoon. Once we got back to the neighborhood, we decided to press our luck and try to grab dinner before she woke up. We stopped in at Precinct, where all the waitstaff were excited to see Alice. We had gone there once a week after our doctor appointments during the last two months of the pregnancy and now the first time since Alice was born. This was the place where Lisa had her last meal before we went in for the induction. Luckily, we were able to get in a cheeseburger before the little one woke up!
