Wyatt had his first birthday party. It was a hit! Christi and Scott had all of us moms, dads and babies over to the house.
Last week Laura and I hung out. I bought a bike carrier for Morgan. Laura installed it for me. Love you Laura! That sucker took forever to install on my bike. We are getting a group of girls and babies together this Friday to go riding. We will for sure need to start out on a flat surface. I'm way out of practice.
Today he stood up for about 5-10 seconds all on his own! He did it in front of Grandmommie, Becky and Christi!
Christi had a fabulous idea that we start taking the babies to a nursing home to visit the people who don't often get visitors. My Grandmommie is in the nursing section of a retirement home. So, we took the babies to visit Grandmommie first. She had her hearing aides in and was having a really good day. My Grandmommie has dementia and will often not realize who I am or the fact that I was there last week. She really had her game on today! And, she looked fabulous. Dan, the physical therapist, was in her room when we arrived. He was working on fixing her leg when she in her wheelchair. We also met a lady named Elizabeth and a lady named Marylynn took us to her room to show the babies her stuffed animals. We plan to go back sometime right before lunch and visit with all of the residents right before they go to lunch. Everyone kept stopping us in the hallways to talk to the babies. It was a huge hit. Great suggestion Christi!
Ohmygosh! Ok, now I know that silent children are up to something! Morgan is right at my feet and he was all of a sudden quiet. I looked down and he was eating a USED Kleenex. Gross! So, I just dug it all out of his mouth. That little stinker!
Oh, and my exercise ball is now getting a ton of use. No, not from me. Morgan loves to chase it around the living room.
The playroom transformation is beginning tonight. I'm so excited! We are moving out all of the office furniture and hauling it up to the ranch this week. I drew up plans for the built ins. John and Dan are going to build them this weekend!
My sister came into town last week for our friend Ashley's wedding. Congratulations again Ashley! She brought Darby and Bret with her. Mary is holding Wyatt and Christi is holding Bret in this picture. Darby is wearing a dress that I wore as a little girl for a portrait. I actually kept pinching Mary during this portrait. I have to search for those pictures and post them. You can see me laughing and pinching her in the picture. Ha
