You are getting so wiggly and happy. Sometimes you have to work to get the smiles out of you but when you are in the mood, you are pretty forthcoming with them. I love your big open mouth smile as you figure out how to do it. You love laying on the floor to play (although not for very long, as you prefer to keep changing positions often!) and I've discovered you like Julie's squeaky baby lobster. You get all excited and dance around when I squeak it for you. Sounds like you are doing well at Grandma's too. I know she enjoys having you there. I guess you are getting so you don't sleep a whole lot... sorry Grandma!
We had a busy week for you (the week starting on Wednesday of course ;) Angie brought Ellie and Simon over on Friday. Ellie didn't want to play with Julie for some reason, she was being shy. But eventually they warmed up and had some fun. Simon and you hung out on the blanket. He's already not looking quite as small compared to you. Growing babies! That night, since Daddy was just heading back from an overnight work trip, Julie and I made a "pillow fort" (a bunch of cushions and pillows all over the living room floor) and watched "Trolls". You hung out in your pjs with us and we called it a pajama party. It was fun and there was even some dancing!
Saturday morning we packed you all up and went to the butterfly ballet at Fredrick Meijer Gardens. It was cute, and afterwards we went to the Butterflies are Blooming exhibit. You really didn't do much and I wasn't able to get many photos of you, but Julie enjoyed it. It'll be more fun for you next year. It sure wore us out chasing her around and lugging all the stuff it requires to go places with two kids. Grandma Charyl and Grandpa Ron volunteered to take you for the afternoon so we were able to go get dinner, just Daddy and me, for the first time since you came. Then I got a new iPhone. Can't wait to get some great videos of you guys now that I can!
On Sunday, Grandma Nore and Grandpa Mike finally got to come visit. Grandpa has had pneumonia for quite awhile so they haven't been able to see you girls for awhile. They were excited to finally get to! We'll see them more now that he's all better.
And even though it technically was during your next week... you slept all night for the first time last night (technically the 23rd since that's when I'm writing this). You did wiggle around and start to wake up but went back to sleep. Hooray! Let's see if you can do it some more this week.
P.S. Julie-ism to note: One of our favorite "games" ("all the games!") is for Julie to shout some gibberish in a worried voice, which would also include "Dinosaur comin'!" and then we must run and run and run through the house. I get a lot of things put away while I'm chasing her, at least!
